A
Singapore is a citystate in Southeast Asia.Thanks to a program, we got a chance to explore the Garden City for one day.
First, we headed to the Gardens by the bay.We were attracted by the Supertrees at once.They are highrise gardens, which produce electricity using energy from the sun, collect rainwater, and more.From there, we headed to the Cloud Forest, which I found most amazing in this Garden City.In hot and wet Singapore, this is a great place to cool off. Inside, a large waterfall comes down the side of the “cloud mountain”．This intricate structure (错综复杂的建筑) is divided into three levels and contains plants from different places.Visitors are free to walk around and learn more about all of the plants.Our journey then led us to a theater inside the Cloud Forest where we watched a tenminute film.I was totally taken aback by what I saw.I had never realized that our planet would change so greatly when the temperature increased by just five degrees.
Then we headed back outside and continued on our walk.Between two of the larger Supertrees, you'll find the Skyway.Visitors can head to the top to enjoy a fantastic bird's eye view of the city.
Next, we made our way to the Singapore River, where we saw a boat going by.In search of food, we headed into the Marina Bay Sands.It has what has to be the best food court I've ever eaten in, with delicious food from all over the world.We ordered different kinds of dishes, which were all tasty.
Needing to walk off that huge lunch, we walked from one side of the river to the other.On the other side, we found Merlion, the symbol of Singapore.Water flows out of the mouth of this amazing creation all day long.While walking along the riverside and enjoying the beautiful view，I couldn't help but wish we had more time to explore this Garden City.
