Supertrees Light Show at Garden by the Bay

By 5pm on 12 May 22, we were already at the Garden by the Bay, well before the Supertrees Light Show scheduled at 7.45pm. This was not the first time we were at the Garden by the Bay. 

This time, we decided to first explore the surrounding before heading to the trees for the show. As we walked through the path well shaded by trees,  I was amazed at this man-made tropical jungle created in the midst of a metropolis just by the sea. 

By 6.45pm, we moved towards the Supertrees Grove where many spectators had already gathered for the show. An internet search reveals that these massive trees, 18 altogether were designed by the architect firm Wilkinson Eyre and landscape consultant, Grant based in London.
The light display and the music of the show was indeed invigorating and spectacular!

Just before the light show ended at 8.05pm, we made a dash to the entrance of one of the supertrees to start our "tree-top walk".

The 128m long aerial walkway connects two 42m tall supertrees at 22m above ground level. This allows spectators to have a spectacular view of the bay and the lighted city beyond.
