We went to the national orchid garden during the national day holiday :> I believe there is a token entrance fee but it was free when we went so yay.
There were just so many pretty orchids there, I'll let the pictures do the talking.
We walked from the carpark at NUS, which is near the botanic gardens mrt. It took us 15 minutes to get to the national orchid garden, which was 1.2km away. The signs at the botanic garden are all accurate, so we simply followed them all the way. :D This is why... I didn't take any pictures of all the signs.
A few tips when coming here to the Botanic Gardens
1) Do not come at noon. IT IS TOO HOT OH EM GEE. And it was really hard to take pictures of the orchids because of all the glare and excessive sunlight.
2) Wear good walking shoes. Please do not wear your heels -_- Which I saw many tourists doing and struggling through the long walk.
3) Do not come after dark, some areas are not so well lit and it may be dangerous for you to walk.
4) Grab a map, or take a picture of the map!
5) sometimes the locals know the way, sometimes they don't. So don't be disappointed if no one is able to direct you! Honestly the map should do.
But without further ado... here are some pictures :D
Some orchids were high up and hard to reach. USE SELFIE STICKS! <3
Oh... Er... Hi there O_O
