Singapore Super Structures to Look up to

Gardens by the Bay SuperTrees

Travelers to the city’s lush new gardens can’t miss the 18 magnificent Supertrees, towering vertical gardens up to 50 meters high. These beautiful artificial structures mimic the ecological functions of actual trees and sustain the exotic ferns, vines, and orchids growing on them. Take a stroll up on the elevated walkway to get a closer look, or sip on a martini right at the top at SuperTree by IndoChina.

The Helix Bridge

Connecting Bayfront to the city center is this award-winning pedestrian bridge inspired by DNA’s double helix structure. In a feat of marvelous engineering, the sturdy bridge’s delicate steel helices barely seem to touch one another. At night, a series of lights wrap the entire structure in a glowing membrane, making the beautiful curves even more spectacular.

Merlion

This imaginary creature with the head of a lion and body of a fish is symbolic of Singapore’s great history. The former represents the country’s moniker, ‘lion city’, while the fish body pays tribute to her humble origins as a fishing village. It is a must-to-do for many tourists to capture a photo of the iconic statue spouting water into the Singapore River at Merlion Park.
