新加坡小桂林 Singapore Little GuiLin

邻近新加坡武吉巴督自然公园的武吉巴督市镇公园
由于平静幽美，景色宜人
加上其花岗石的景色与中国的桂林市相似
因此在新加坡被誉为小桂林

Bukit Batok Town Park which is next to Singapore Bukit Batok Nature Park is peaceful and beautiful, as the scene is similar to Guilin, China with the granite rock formations, thus it is also known as Little Guilin or Xiao Guilin among the locals.

这里原是个废弃的花岗石矿场
经过改造，当初的矿坑自然形成一个矿湖
加上湖边的山丘峭壁
吸引了许多人前来野餐、跑步
不少新人也选择在这里拍摄婚纱照

The park was initially a granite quarry, it was then converted to a tranquil lake and the area was also beautified. There is a granite rock sitting within the lake. It is beautifully landscaped, and the park is popular for picnic, jogging, as well as photo shooting for wedding couples.

不想在草地上野餐晒太阳
这里也有凉亭、石椅供休息
也可沿着湖边走走
一些小径在树木遮蔽下也是十分凉快舒服

If you find picnic there is exposed under the hot sun, there is also shelter with stone seat. You can also walk along the side of the lake, the path in the wood is quite cool and comfortable for a walk.

新加坡双溪布洛湿地 Singapore Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve

新加坡城市发展迅速
却仍保留了很多自然生态保护区
双溪布洛湿地保护区就是其中一处
而且免费对外开放
值得一提的是
这里也是从寒冷的北方，飞往温暖的南方的候鸟
中途停留的地方

Despite being a prosperous country, Singapore still remain a lot of natural reserve and the Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve is one of it. It is free of charge and what is special is that it is a stop-over point for migratory bird to escape the cold north in the winter month to the warmer southern parts of the earth.

它位于新加坡西北方，只和马来西亚柔佛隔一个海峡
站在桥上，柔佛就在眼前

It is in the northwest area of Singapore, and is able to view Johor Bahru, Malaysia on the bridge.

园区里还包括了一个展览室
可以更了解园里的动植物
还不定期举办活动
如观鸟、周末免费导游、观赏候鸟等
很是富有教育性

There is also an exhibition room in the reserve to understand more about the animals and plants in the Wetland Reserve. Three are also activities held for public such as bird watching, weekend guided walks, migratory bird watching which are very educational.

这个沼泽自然公园栖居着多种的热带动植物
松软的土地，受潮水冲刷、缺氧
孕育了大片的红树林
红树林的根系分布很浅但广
除了支撑作用外
气根即使在缺氧的土壤中还是利于呼吸

The Wetland is the home for various kind of tropical animals and plants. An environment for mangrove require the conditions of anaerobic soils and tidal range. Red mangroves have buttress roots at the base of the tree and also stilt roots which prop above the water level to absorb air.

沼泽里更可见弹涂鱼的踪迹
除了弹涂鱼外
也常见到许多的大蜥蜴
幸运的话，还可以遇上水濑或是鳄鱼

Mudskippers can be spotted in the swamp, as well as Malayan water monitor. Lucky visitors may also be able to spot the otters as well as crocodiles.

许多观测点更是设有观察室
可以隐蔽地就近观察鸟类和动物

There is also observation hide which allow the visitors to view the birds and animals closely without disturbing the wildlife as it is being observed.

园里许多建在高处或水上的亭子
方便从高处或从近浏览园区和红树林
攀上四层楼高的观景台
周围的环境尽收眼底
离开前好好享受一个宁静的时刻

There are also numbers of pavilions which enable the visitors to view the natural reserve and mangrove from high. Climb up to the 4^th floor of the pavilion and have a peaceful moment with a stunning view.

新加坡亨德森波浪桥 Singapore Henderson Waves

亨德森波浪桥，全场274米

是新加坡最高的行人天桥
同时也是南部山脊的一部分
这座波浪形的木桥
使用东南亚的Balau木
适合任何的天气
连接花柏山与直落布兰雅山
设计独特
波浪行成几个亭子供人休息
木制的休息处即使在大热天也十分阴凉

这里一片绿意

十分引人注目，那就是Keppel Bay Tower
晚上7点到午夜2点
桥上亮灯后，却是另一个不同的景观
如果在傍晚前来
可以同时看到两种景色

Not only to enjoy the greenish view here, the stunning view of Keppel Bay with the 5 blocks of glass building is also not to miss. Furthermore, every night from 7pm to 2am midnight, the wave-forms are lit with LED lamps. If visit here at the evening, you can have the two different view at the same time.

靠近亨德森波浪桥的另一个景点
就是阶梯花园
和名字相同，是长长的阶梯与阳台
阶梯旁种满了花朵
最高的阳台可看到城市的景观
如果到亨德森波浪桥，不妨也到阶梯花园看看

Another spot near to the Henderson Waves is the Terrace Garden. With a series of stairs and terraces, flowers are planted. The open space at the top of the garden can view the city in distance. If visit Henderson Waves should also come to Terrace Garden.
