15 truly local things you must try in Singapore - SilverKris

"Singapore’s heat can be oppressive and a trip to Gardens by the Bay is the ideal way to cool off while still immersing in nature and enjoying the giant, domed structures filled with interesting plants and evolving displays. Besides being Instagram-worthy at every turn, Gardens by the Bay also implements a range of sustainability measures in order to keep the plants (and everyone else) cool. This includes minimising solar heat gain through special glass for the domes and generating carbon-neutral electricity on site. For a more traditional way to cool off, families should head to the Far East Organisation Children’s Garden where a flower-themed water play awaits. In the cooler evenings, be sure to visit the PropNex Family Zone and Active Garden which features an inclusive playground and community garden. With its futuristic structures and dazzling light show displays, Gardens by the Bay is a photographer’s dream." - SilverKris, Karen Fong
