  • Must Visit Attractions in Singapore"
    "Must Visit Attractions in Singapore" Created by: Cityseeker 16 Locations Bookmarked Merlion Park "Singapore's National Emblem" Standing guard at the mouth of the Singapore River is the Merlion, a mythical beast that is a cross between a fish and a lion. The fish symbolizes Singapore's close association with the sea while the lion head refers to the legendary sighting of a lion during the discovery of ancient Singapore. Created in 1972 as a tourism icon, the Merlion is especially by Graham-H attractive in the evenings when it is illuminated and spouts water from its mouth. Today, it has moved 120 meters (393 feet) away from its original spot, adjacent to One Fullerton. A stroll through Merlion Park yields great views of Singapore's colonial district. +65 6736 6622 1 Fullerton Road, Singapore Marina Bay Sands Skypark "Experience Singapore from New Heights" A true marvel of engineering designed by the famous architect Moshe Safdie, the Marina Bay Sands Skypark is an open-air viewing deck perched 200 meters (656.168 feet) atop the Marina Bay Sands Hotel. This deck, shaped like a ship, almost seems to go against the law of gravity as it stretches on the 57th story above the hotel tower. The panoramic views by Sarah_Ackerman from of Singapore are staggering, and on a clear day, far-off islands belonging New York, USA. to Malaysia and Indonesia can be seen. The Skypark is the size of three football fields and also contains lush tropical gardens, souvenir stands and gourmet restaurants. Its main attraction is a spectacular infinity pool that seems as if it meets thin air at one of its longer edges.

The idea for a national garden was planted in 1822 when Sir Stamford Raffles, the founder of modern Singapore, developed the first Botanical and Experimental Garden at Fort Canning. In 1859, the Singapore Botanic Gardens was established at the Tanglin site and in the 160 years past, it has flourished from a pleasure garden for the colonial community to a place cherished by all Singaporeans, a botanical institution known internationally. Singapore’s greening journey took root in the 1960s when founding Prime Minister, Mr Lee Kuan Yew planted a Mempat Tree at Farrer Circus. This kickstarted a national effort for tree planting, sowing the seed of a green home where beautiful parks and green belts would be the birthright of every Singaporean. Today, the intricate lattice of greenery we have woven into the cityscape supports thriving biodiversity and provides residents with a quality living environment. This not only draws the appreciation and marvel of visitors, but has become a part of our national identity.

  • Interview with Kong Yit San
    INTERVIEWS 54 A Walk through the Years in Singapore's Parks: Interview with Kong Yit San A Walk through the Years in Singapore’s Parks Interview with Kong Yit San Text by Ho Rui An Photography by Jeremy San RIGHT & opposite Tampines Eco Green. CITYGREEN #3 A Centre for Urban Greenery and Ecology Publication 55 CG: What were some of the challenges you experienced in the early days? KYS: In the 80s, we were so concerned about efficiency than design. What was important then was how well and how fast you can grow the plant and how cheap it was to grow and maintain. For streetscape planting, we had used fast-growing, easy-to-grow trees that required the least mainte- nance. But today, we know that we cannot just grow trees in such a regimental way and hope that they will all grow at the same pace and assume the same form. Nature doesn’t work that way. Back then, we had a lack of experience and knowl- edge in the materials we were using. We were introducing trees from forest environment, such as those in Malaysia, but we didn’t know too well how a tree introduced from a forest would grow in an urban environment. As a result, we experienced some problems like cracked pavements, uplifted drains and damages done to our infrastructure caused by these trees with highly aggressive root systems. Mr Kong Yit San has been with the National Park Boards (NParks) for more than 30 years, beginning At that time, being a young Garden City, we from the days when Singapore was still an aspiring “Garden City.” He was previously the Director of wanted to try out different kinds of plant the Parks Division before assuming his current position as Assistant Chief Executive Officer, Park species.
