... and Mountains Surrounded by Glass

A fascinating part of the Gardens by the Bay are their conservatories! At first I thought they would be just like any other: a bunch of plants under some glass. End of story. Little did I know, that the conservatory we visited contained:


a whole mountain!!  And not just any mountain! This one had several floors to walk in and walls covered with flowers. There were cascades and shining minerals, bridges and sculptures and all sorts of plants imaginable in between.


On top of the mountain there is this small lake with some wooden rodents sitting in some kanoes..


The views are, of course stunning. If it wasn't for this Marina Bay Sands blocking the views, as usual!


We only got to see one of the conservatories but this was already pretty impressive by itself! What a beautiful way to set up plants!
