LEARNING JOURNEY TO ESPLANADE PARK

 

 

 

Last Friday we went to Marina Bay again. But the difference was, on that day,  the weather was pretty sweet. As you can see in the picture, the cotton-liked clouds spread over the clear and blue sky. The sun was shining, making the whole sight brightly. Even though we were a little hot, but it was an excelent time to take photos, isn't it?

 

 

The Esplanade, theatre by the bay, is just like a big durian. It was shame that we couldtas not get into it to have a look, but even just looked at the exterior, we got such an aesthetic feeling to its new and original designs. By the way, the durians in Singapore is extremely delicious, as well as the durian ice cream, whose savoury taste is unforgettable.

 

 

The most famous three landmarks of Singapore: the lotus-liked ArtScience Museum, the Merlion, the Marina Bay Sands. What a magnificent scenery.

I tried different savours of ice cream. But I strongly dislike peppermint because of the strong toothpaste's smelling and tasting.

                                           



      There were the  Victoria Theatre and the Statue of Sir Stamford Raffles. The Statue of Sir Stamford Raffles stands on a foundation bed, which makes him extremely tall, we had to raise our head to look at him with reverence. The tablet says :"1819-1919, this tablet to the memory of Sir Stamford Raffles, to whose foresight and genius Singapore owes its existence and prosperity, was unveiled on February 6th 1919 the 100th anniversary of the foundation of the settlement"


Standing below the statue, I felt like standing below the highest point in Singapore, which is much high than any other skyscrapers near there. At the same time, a sense of completely awe and esteem came to my heart, too strong to disappear.

Learning journey of East Coast Singapore

 

Last Friday, we went to the east coast. It is in the east of Singapore, and it is really a long way from our hostel to the sea. It was cloudy in the morning, however just exactly at the time when we set off, all the grey clouds dispersed, and the azure heaven show us her unspotted and pure face to us again. The sunshine spread its golden light over the city, the streets, the roof and the water drops on the grass. The humid and frowsty air evaporated, we greedily breathe the crisp and freash air. After arriving the East coast, it has been fairly hot, the smell of the sea attracted us.

 

The sea is beautiful, the blue water waving in the wind, shimmering in the sunlight. There are many ship in the remote, indicating us that Singapore is one of the busiest port in the world, the coming and going ships are the impulse of Singapore’s economy.

 

To be honest, the sea landscape is not as beautiful as the sea in my hometown, Quanzhou. But It has its own beauty as well.

 

 

On the bridge, we took some photos – Siting, Hongyu and Xianxi jumped up and took photos, but I did not do it. I do not know why, I just do not want to.

Then, it has been late in the afternoon, we went to the East Coast Sea Food Center and tried Satay and Rojak. Both of them are traditional Singaporean local food, the taste is much different from Chinese food, and is very delicious and month-watering. It is a shame that we did not try every delicacy in the food center. Maybe I will go there once again!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

GARDENS BY THE BAY

Actually I have been here last Sunday... Bur it seems that I haven't been there before, and the dazzling scene of gardens well worth visiting again . During the whole afternoon, we enjoyed the marvellous beauty of nature, and took photos  crazily, as if we will forget this wonderful scenery. But it is unnecessary, for this visit will be an unforgettable memory in the depths of my heart. What's more, I realise Singapore is worthy of the name, ' the Garden City '.

Here is a whole view of Super Trees

After arriving there, we had lunch first. It was a extremely delicious,succulent meal. We ate much luscious barbecue, and also, I ordered a set of meal with savoury chicken wings, which is still making my  mouth water now. It's a shame that I forgot to take a photo of the meal... Maybe at that time I was too busy eating to remember take a picture! But it doesn't matter, I can imagine it right now in my brain! Especially when I am hungry, the image of the meat will be more vivid and realer:).

OK, stop the topic of eating... Let's move on. First I went to the Flower Dome with Ms Wong, Hongyu, Siting and Lingyu. It contains thousands of beautiful flowers and trees, which are of great aesthetics. The theme recently is Christmas, as you can see in the image below, there are some white Christmas decorations there, compare with a green back ground, and make each other more beautiful.

The flowers were so colourful and exquisite that we could not stop photographing them. As a result, my phone ran out of power when we finished visiting Flower Dome...

It is my favourate flower. The geometrical patterns are wonderful.

   You can see how crazy I was at that time.
   So many flowers!! But so beautiful!!!

  

                              

Then we went to the Cloud Forest. It's a mysterious world in the mist. The world's tallest waterfall, which is about 35 metres tall, is really marvellous. We got a shock when first entering the Cloud Forest, and then became fully refreshed. We even saw a small rainbow lying over the waterfall. After that, we got onto the Cloud walk, and we saw pants from wet to cool highlands in the world. There was also a Secret Garden, it was not a garden actually, but a room, which showed us some video about protecting the environment of the earth. We were educated there, realised that how serious we were destroying out mother planet...

Below is the last photo... After that, my phone died. It turned its back on me !!

It is aloof.

 

 

 

I had no photo for the Sky Way, but walking on it was fascinating as well. We could see the whole gardens from a bird's-eye view. 

What a nature.
