Welcome back, readers! Today, I will continue my journey in this spectacular Chinese Garden. The picture above is called the Pagoda Twins. I will not take the stairs to the top floor as I am tired climbing the "Mother" Pagoda.

Entrance into the Pagoda Twins

I came across this majestic entrance and for a second I thought I was in ancient China. The entrance looked like a gate to one of the districts in ancient China.




When I entered, I was greeted with a unique Chinese architecture that I saw only in Chinese dramas. I had never expected that I would able to enjoy with my own sight. The pond with fishes in the middle of it only added the atmosphere.



Surprisingly, there was a shop here selling drinks and I immediately took the opportunity to buy a bottle called "H20". I was instantly refreshed and now motivated to continue my journey into the garden. The courtyard here gave me a sense of calming and serene effect when I came in giving me a pleasant feeling. If not because of me exploring the garden, I would stay there longer.



This man had appeared three times during my travels. Two here and one at Haw Par Villa. The man called Confucius. I should learn from him why was he so famous.




The Bonsai garden was build in June 1992 following the style of the city Suzhou in China. There are 2000 bonsais imported from China and other parts of the world. I admitted that I am not a fan of bonsais but the sheer number of bonsais in this garden was mind-boggling I find myself admiring some of it from small to big. Fans of bonsais should visit this place. The recommended list in Singapore for bonsai lovers!




My favourite Bonsai plant!

This finally concluded my journey in Chinese Garden. I was awed by the architecture used by the Chinese. I was able to learn a bit of history by reading the history of the statues. I felt that a Chinese tourist will feel at home here. Signing off! Sejuk!

Great job. Nice pictures. I am glad that you enjoyed your visit to the Chinese Gardens. I think I have only been in there once - during my school days. That was quite a while ago. Maybe I should do as you do. Begin to explore my own country. Cheers!

Thanks quotes-haven. I had been inspired by the top travel blogger @sweetsssj to start my own series. Furthermore, Singapore had a lot of gardens and parks we can visit. Show the world what is Singapore. Appreciate your comment!
