I was thinking about how to best describe the remarkable beauty and creativity of Singapore’s Gardens by the Bay.

This is an overall, birds-eye view of Gardens by the Bay taken from Marina Bay Sands (MBS) hotel. Photograph taken circa 2014 by Shawn Seah.

Should I describe the cold, rushing waters of the indoor waterfall, or the lush green mountain clad with unusual plants from all around the world?

Or the fantastic floral arrangements and beautiful bouquets hanging from the ceiling?

Or the spectacular views from different parts of the attraction?

In the end, I decided to let the photographs I took over the past few years “do the talking”.

These are some photographs I have taken of Gardens by the Bay, and I hope you enjoy viewing them.

From the top (or near the top) of the mountain at Cloud Forest, you can catch the view of Marina Bay Sands’ unique architecture and the other skyscrapers that adorn the Marina Bay area near Gardens by the Bay. Photograph taken by Shawn Seah.
Stunning Cloud Forest, which feels surprisingly cold and refreshing, especially given Singapore’s hot and humid context. I enjoyed (and still enjoy) climbing this “mountain”. Photograph taken by Shawn Seah.
