Singapore's Garden by the Bay is designed to capture what life is like in the country by creating a 'city in a garden'.

The space almost resembles a theme park, with various sky walks and themed conservatories, but the entire area is meticulously planned to be sustainable.

For example, the two main lakes, Dragonfly Lake and Kingfisher Lake, form a natural filtering system for the water used elsewhere in the garden but are also attractions themselves.

Entry to the outdoor areas is free while entry to the two conservatories cost SGD$28 (￡15.67).
