Singapore Botanic Gardens' Secret Paths?
So, I'm heading to the Singapore Botanic Gardens next week – been looking forward to it for ages! I've seen all the pics of the main areas, the Orchid Garden, etc. But I'm wondering... are there any… more
Yeah, the Botanic Gardens are massive! You'll definitely find quiet spots if you wander off the main paths. Head towards the rainforest section – it's pretty dense in parts and there are some really lovely, less-used trails weaving through. Don't be afraid to get a little lost; it's part of the fun. There are benches dotted around, perfect for sketching or a picnic. Bring extra water though, it can get pretty humid. And yeah, bug spray is a MUST. Enjoy your exploration!
Singapore Botanic Gardens Orchid Mishap?
So I'm heading to the Singapore Botanic Gardens next week, specifically the National Orchid Garden. My friend, a local, warned me about the humidity – like, seriously intense humidity. My question is… more
Honestly, the humidity is no joke. Bring way more water than you think you'll need – like, seriously, double it. Those little electrolyte tablets are your friend; they'll help you stay hydrated better than just plain water. And sunscreen, even if it's cloudy. That humidity amplifies the sun's rays. A wide-brimmed hat would also be a lifesaver. Finally, plan for breaks. Find some shady spots to sit and rest; you'll enjoy the orchids more if you’re not completely wilted. Pace yourself.
