Floral Fantasy, Cloud Forest and Lau Pa Sat Hawk Center, Singapore

Two of its most iconic attractions in the Garden by the Bay are the Flower Fantasy and the Cloud Forest.  Lau Pa Sat is a hawker center located in the heart of Singapore’s Central Business District (CBD).

I returned to the Marina Sands Hotel to visit the Gardens by the Bay, which is located behind the hotel.

I came back to visit three places: Floral Fantasy, Cloud Forest, and Floral Dome. However, the Floral Dome was closed for maintenance, so I could not visit it.

The first place I visited was the Floral Fantasy. It is a small area filled with flowers, artistry, and technology that creates a dream-like, fantastical experience for visitors.

I came to the end point of the sightseeing trail to attend the 3d video ride at the end of the trail.  After the show, I walked toward the beginning of the trail to see this place properly.

In the Cloud Forest

The Cloud Forest is a 35-meter-tall mountain covered in lush vegetation, shrouded in mist, simulating cloud forests’ cool, moist environment.

The starting point for sightseeing is at the top of the artificial mountain; to get there, you need to ride an elevator located inside the mountain.

After the elevator ride, I arrived at the top of the mountain.

This is how it looks inside the mountain. You take stairs, an escalator, or an elevator to move between the trail levels.

I looked at the below from the protruded observation area.

Some areas inside the mountain were museum like

On another day afternoon, I visited a hawker center in the middle of the city center.

Lau Pa Sat, officially known as Telok Ayer Market, is a renowned hawker center located in the heart of Singapore’s Central Business District (CBD).

Lau Pa Sat dates back to the 19th century, originally built in the 1830s as a fish market. The structure has undergone several transformations, reflecting Singapore’s evolving urban landscape.

The current building, constructed in 1894, showcases Victorian-style cast-iron architecture, complete with ornate details and a distinctive clock tower. This blend of historical design with modern functionality makes Lau Pa Sat a unique landmark.

This area can be considered a giant food court. The food was tasty, cheap, and of many varieties.
