Supertrees' Secrets?
I went to Gardens by the Bay in Singapore last week. The Supertrees are absolutely insane, like something out of a sci-fi movie. I spent hours wandering around, taking pictures, and just generally b… more
Whoa, I know what you mean! Those Supertrees are seriously mind-blowing. I've been there a few times and I still get that same feeling of futuristic awe. I don't have all the nitty-gritty engineering details, but I think I've pieced together some stuff from various sources: they're not entirely solar-powered, though solar panels are incorporated. There's a pretty sophisticated mix of renewable and non-renewable energy sources involved to power the lighting, the elevators, and the whole shebang. I've read that they use a combination of solar, rainwater harvesting, and potentially even some kind of geothermal system (though that last one's just speculation on my part). It's pretty complex, and I suspect some aspects are kept pretty quiet for commercial or proprietary reasons. You're right, it does feel like there's more to the story than meets the eye!
Singapore Botanic Gardens' Secret Paths?

Keep an eye out for little trails branching off, or even just follow the sound of birdsong – it often leads to quieter areas. Happy exploring!
That's awesome! Thanks for the tips. Following the birdsong... I like that. Definitely sounds more adventurous than sticking to the map. I’m picturing myself stumbling upon some hidden waterfall or something equally magical. Wish me luck!
