The Botanical Garden in Singapore is a huge place and has been in existence for a long time, having been continuously open since 1859, and having existed in some form before that as well. Because of its heritage value, it also has the status of a UNESCO World Heritage site. Reaching it is not difficult, it being on the tourist circuit and also close to the Orchard Road shopping district. The garden is literally huge, covering an area of 82 hectares and receiving more than 4.5 million visitors per year. The garden has a lot of specific parts inside such as the Rainforest and the National Orchid Garden that present different varieties. It seems a bit strange, but while entry to the Botanical Garden is free, entry to the National Orchid Garden is charged Singapore $5. On its own, the fee is not very high given the beauty of the place, but considering that the botanical garden does not charge anything, a separate charge for the Orchid Garden does seem strange.
Orchids are very beautiful flowers but do need some care. The National Orchid garden inside the Singapore Botanical Garden has a huge number of varieties of orchids inside it, such as these purple flowers. The National Orchid garden is spread over an area of 3 hectares, and has around 60,000 flowers inside it spread over 1000 varieties (truly a treat for the people who love flowers).
The water fountain opposite the entrance to the National Orchid Garden. It looks so beautiful and well decorated, with the cascading water, lush greenery and bright flowers. For those who are wondering whether to enter the Orchid garden as well, such a sight might persuade them to go inside after buying the entry ticket.
