Southern Ridges adventure

After the Bukit Timah trekking, we planned to continue our exercise at the Southern Ridges. More information can be found here. I know the whole area is quite big actually, so I only plan to visit the HortPark, to see those nicely laid out garden and flower. There is a bus service 61 which brings you from Bukit Timah to Alexandra Road. What a prefect match!

So, the bus 61 bought us to the bus stop near Alexandra Arch. The first place to visit is of course the HortPark. Once we were at the entrance and the main building, we were impressed by the layout and the design. It was a really nice place. After that, you walk into the garden area, it just blow you away with all the flowers, trees and layout.

Let's see some photo here.


Taken from the main area into the park itself. A fantastic view.


You saw many palm tree before, but I don't think you saw something like this before. The colour is a bit milky white or maybe silver colour. Seeing is believing.


The "paper" flower. One tree with at least 3 different colour. How did they do that?


These flowers were grown inside the glass house. Don't ask me what they called, but they are just simply too beautiful. These are the flowers that are going to appear in the Garden by the Bay.


Very nice cactus. To grow up to this size, it takes some efforts.

After the HortPark, we continue our journey to the Forest Walk using the steel walk way. It was like walking on top of the trees. To be continued in another blog post.
