After almost 7 years, the first of the three waterfront Gardens by the Bay—Bay South Garden—was finally open to the public. Flying and yanzi couldn’t help but to brave the scorching equatorial sun and pay the garden in the city centre a visit.

经过近七年的酝酿，位于新加坡市中心的滨海湾花园终于向公众开放了三大花园中的第一个——滨海南花园。Flying和yanzi也顾不上赤道旱季里灼热的太阳，迫不及待地加入了到城中花园中尝鲜的人群里。

Our trip began at Bayfront MRT Station, within the intriguing depths of the tunnel...

Just look at the crowd—1.5 hours queuing time expected!

yanzi and Flying had to made the painful decision of giving the famed duo of the Flower Dome and the Cloud Forest a miss this time round... Well, hope it’s only because this was the first weekend after the public opening.

The Chinese Garden of the Heritage Gardens really looked like a small old-school temple... :^(
