The new eco-tourist attraction in Singapore, Gardens by the Bay is opened on 29 June 2012. ‘Gardens by the Bay’ is a man-made mechanical forest which consists of 18 supertrees. These supertrees generate solar power and also collect rainwater. The large canopies of the trees are used to moderate temperatures by providing shelters for visitors. Singapore’s first prime minister, Mr Lee Kuan Yew said that the gardens would become the pride of Singapore. Visitors are able to enjoy the beautiful scenery while strolling in the gardens. The gardens consist of 7 attractions such as the Flower Dome, Cloud Forest and Heritage Gardens. This is part of the government’s effort to transform Singapore into a “City in a Garden”.
This article appeals to me because more and more tourists’ attractions are being built in Singapore. ‘Gardens by the Bay’ is one of the new tourists’ attractions. These attractions will attract more tourists to visit Singapore. This will help the tourism industry in Singapore to grow, which also then help to boost Singapore’s economy.
In my opinion, this is good effort made by the government. Both tourists and locals are able to benefit from it. Tourists can enjoy the scenery while more locals will be employed as more jobs are created. Other than that, tourists are able to learn about Singapore’s culture as one of the attractions at ‘Gardens by the bay’ is Heritage Gardens. This Heritage Gardens help tourist to be able to discover how plants are somehow linked to Singapore’s culture.
Hence, I hope more people will visit this newly opened tourist attraction!
