Garden Tours

Singapore is a garden city. Although we have no high mountains or deep valleys, this little pockets of green have over the years given us a space to relax and admire the natural fauna and flora in Singapore.

When travelling in Singapore, why not make an effort to walk through some of the gardens and parks in Singapore. There may not be as breath taking as Mt Cook in New Zealand but in Singapore after a day walk in concrete jungle, it will definitely proof as relaxing.

In this main landing site, we will bring to you gardens which we have visited. With the new Park connector Network coming up everywhere, I am sure there can be more photos soon. Kindly email me if you have them and credits will be duely given!

Garden Tour Series 3 part (A break from CNY series) - Part 2 Alexandar Arc/ Hort Park

Alexandar Arc/Hort park

Hort Park is a concept park design and built by interest groups such as garden designers, landscapers and garden piping and pump companies to promote their designs and products.

A) What can one see in Hort Park?

Inside you will see different themes design by those companies to show off their capabilities and products.

Examples are, Japanese design garden, home farming, spice garden, pond design technology and plant sculpturing.

In additional there are several lock green house that will only open if you sign up for their guided tours (which is quite expensive to me at least).

Within the park there is also a restaurant that seem just so romantic to dine at during Sunset.

B) Is it a difficult walk?

It is not a difficult walk at all. Every path is either concrete or designed walkway.

C) How much time do I need to set aside to visit Hort Park?

This is very subjective. At the minimum, I will recommend 60 mins.

I will do a write up on Alexandar arc after the photos on Hort park as they are connected. In fact, you could park your car at Hort Park to access Alexandar Arc.


Alexandar Arc and Hort park is part of Garden Tours series.

Alexandar Arc

A) What can one see in Hort Park?
Alexandar Arc is a bridge that connect Hort Park with Alexandar treetop walk. Try ot visit the Arc or drive below the arc at night as it is specially lighted up with different lights bulbs that make it a visual treat at night.
However go during the day to visit the treetop walk which is far longer than Jelutong Tree Top walk.

At the end of the walk, drop by the old colonial style building which house a nice canteen with very good chinese food (Taste their Tou Fu, it is very nice!). After the dinner you could either retrace your steps, or take a bus back to Hort Park carpark.

B) Is it a difficult walk?
In general the metal platform is gentle in slope. If there are staircases, there will also be ramp to go to the upper level.

C) How much time do I need to allocate?
At a bare minimum you need to allocate 45 mins to the walk
