Singapore Botanic Garden(新加坡植物园)
Discover an urban oasis. Ranked #1 out of the 291 must-visit Singapore attractions in 2011 by TripAdvisor, the sprawling Singapore Botanic Gardens provides great respite from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Located here is the National Orchid Garden, lauded as the world’s largest orchid display featuring over 60,000 plants and orchids. Also found at the Bukit Timah core is the Jacob Ballas Children’s garden—Asia’s first children’s garden—the perfect spot for all children to play, discover and learn about the intricacies of plant life.
Look out for the Tembusu—one of the island’s most distinctive trees. This native is reportedly more than 150 years old and was selected with ten other trees as a National Heritage Tree in August 2002. And during the flowering seasons in May - June and October - November, its creamy white flowers open at sunset; giving off strong fragrances that befit its scientific name, ‘Fagraea Fragrans’. In fact, a photograph of the finest Tembusu in the nature park can be found on the back of the ‘Portrait’ series S$5 note.
Besides enjoying the flora and fauna on show, you can also wine and dine in award-winning eateries like Au Jardin and Halia. The Library Shop and Garden Shop are also excellent places to pick up souvenirs, books and plants for your loved ones.
Come by early in the mornings on weekends to see families picnicking or visit during the evenings for a great jogging workout or a leisurely stroll.
新加坡以胡姬花（兰花）而著称，因此，如果不看看其享誉全球的植物园，您的新加坡之旅就不算完美。新加坡 植物园占地 64 公顷，园内布满了各式优美的园艺和植物。园中的一大亮点是国立兰花园，超过 1000 个品种、多达 2000 个混合品种的兰花将为您带来一场视觉的盛宴。
现代新加坡的建立者——莱佛士爵士于 1822 年设立了第一座植物园；现在保留下来的植物园则是由农业园艺学会创立于 1859 年。目前园区开展了众多计划与项目，如保护古树计划等，对于植物园来说，保护才是延续发展的根本。植物园为免费开放，而进入国立兰花园则需要购买门票。
偶尔的周日，这里还会举行免费的音乐会，对于喜欢慢跑的人们来说，这里数英里的通道可让其自在地锻炼于丛林掩映之中，尽享大自然之美。
