Gardens by the bay is one of the newly added must-visit-place when you are at Singapore. Actually I am quite impressed with Singapore where they made their country into a city with high rise buildings but at the same time maintained their personality of a tropical country with all the parks and gardens!  OK, before I was there, I thought that Gardens by the bay is just a man-made park with some weird creatures which made the place looked like scenes in Avatar.

Singapore - Botanic Gardens

Lots of garden with different themes inside and the track is spacious enough for jogging, cycling and even skating! The mini stage surrounded by a pond!  ...
