Visit to the HortPark
Hi there! It had been sometime since I had last posted. Yesterday, I went to the HortPark which is located at the 33 Hyderabad Road, Off Alexandra Road. I took the MRT to the Harbor Front then I took the bus. When we reached the bus-stop we are like kind of confused as we didn’t went there before. We were walking up and down on the street and it was not a short distance at all… After that, we ask a girl where the place is and it is far. She said it was not really far. I was really happy when I heard that it was not really far and I was really looking forward toward it. But it turned out to be really far!!! I was still halfway to the HortPark when I saw a jackfruit on a tree. :D It was 10.09am then. After that, we continued walking until we saw a map and there were two ways and we didn’t know which way it is. It was 10.14am. Then we ask a teacher and we went down the forest kind of way with some stairs, until we reached the second map which was at 10.18 am as the distances between the two maps weren’t quite far at all. After that, we walked a really wavy road with so many curves. I also saw a half ripe pineapple which is red in the middle!! There were so many flowers and they were so nice with bright colours!
At 10.31am, we finally reach the HortPark! HortPark is the first one-stop gardening lifestyle hub in Southeast Asia that brings together gardening-related, recreational, educational, research and retail activities under one big canopy in a park setting. First, I walked past 6 glass houses and the flowers inside was so beautiful!!! There are roses, daisies and many others flowers in the glass house. But the glass was cloudy and I couldn’t take photos of these beautiful flowers. After that, we walked by the Floral Walk and the flowers were so beautiful. We also saw some black and yellow centipedes and looked really special as I had never seen it before. We also walked past the recycling garden and many others. But there are some of the parts of the garden that haven’t finished building. I wanted to go in the Butterfly Garden, but it was locked… At 12 noon, we continued our journey. We then reached the other map at 12.05pm.
We then walked on the Canopy Walk and from it, we saw the Alexandra Arch and they showed pictures of the Alexander Arch when it is at night and it was so beautiful!!! After that we went on to the Alexandra Arch at 12.10 pm. After that at 12.12pm, we went on the Forest Walk which was 1.3km long. The Forest Walk, a steps-free elevated walkway with earth trails meanders through some 50 metres through the secondary forest of Telok Blangah Hill and connects to Alexandra Arch. The raised walkway with heights ranging from 3 to 18 metres brushes the canopy of trees and offers a bird’s eye view of the forest. It was like no ending to this. But luckily, the path was quite smooth, so it was easy to walk. The view from the bridge of the forest was really nice… But, it was also TIRING!!! At 12.38pm, we finally reach the shelter and rested. After a while, we continued walking. We then reached the Henderson Waves. I loved that part the most!!! :D It was like so easy to walk. The bridge has a unique wave-form made up of seven undulating curved steel “ribs” that alternately rise over and under its deck. The curved “ribs” form alcoves that function as shelters with seats within. At 1.17pm, we were about 75% finish. Finally, at 2.18pm, we finally finish it!!! Yay! After that, we went to Vivo City to eat our lunch. Okay, that’s all, BB!
