Book Singapore Holiday to Witness Some Amazing Green Spaces
by Amanda Sutcliffe Travel DealsAn island city-state located in Southeast Asia,
Singapore is known globally as a country that transformed itself into a global
hub for finance, technology, tourism, entertainment, healthcare, and education
from being a developing nation at the time of its independence in the mid-20th
century. However, in the race for urbanisation, it lost most of its historical
forests. In order to improve the country's green cover, the government came up
with a vision to set aside a certain portion of land for natural reserves and
parks. So, if you are a nature lover, you can experience the pleasure of
exploring several green areas in the country today.
When you book
Singapore holiday in advance, you can have a greater amount of savings to
be utilised for exploring some of the country's fabulous attractions. Among
them is Singapore Botanic Gardens. It has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage
Site and is spread across a vast region of 82 hectares. There are more than
10,000 species of flora in the botanic gardens. You can explore the vast green
spaces with the help of a bike or take a walk to witness the most wonderful
sights. Some of the earliest trees in this part of Singapore were Para Rubber
and Tembusu.
Another fascinating attraction for nature lovers you
can explore during your Singapore holiday is Gardens by the Bay. This nature
park is located in the country's central region and is spread across 101
hectares of reclaimed land. It comprises the Bay South Garden, Bay Central Garden,
and Bay East Garden. Among them, the Bay South Garden is the largest with a
total area of 54 hectares. The nature park is a part of the nation's plans to
enhance the quality of life in the city by increasing green spaces. The Flower
Dome of Gardens by the Bay is the world's largest glass greenhouse.
The amount saved on your cheap Singapore holiday would
allow you to explore the Pulau Ubin Island. It is a perfect example of how
Singapore was during the mid-20th century. The island is home to vast expanses
of green natural surroundings, diverse habitats, and serene villages. Pulau
Ubin has been largely unspoilt even after so many years. It is located close to
the north-eastern corner of mainland Singapore and covers an area of 10.2
square kilometres. Nature lovers flock to this island every weekend to witness
a rich ecosystem abundant in flora and fauna. A major attraction on this island
is the Chek Jawa wetlands.
You'll also be delighted to visit the wetlands of
Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, which is another excellent place for nature
lovers. Spread across 87 hectares, this ecological haven offers ideal habitats
for a variety of birds, mudskippers, crabs, and mud-lobsters. Migratory birds
from regions as far as Siberia flying to the warmer environments of Australia
make a stop in this wetland reserve. This world-class spot for eco-tourism was
first discovered by a group of birdwatchers in the year 1986 and was declared a
nature park in 1989 by the government of Singapore.
You can witness several historic attractions with the
amount saved while booking your Singapore
flight tickets.
