Gardens by the Bay

Guess what: the Supertrees in Singapore’s Gardens by the Bay, which look like giant nails, dramatically impact the area’s feng shui!

Singapore is a renowned “garden city”, and the opening of Gardens by the Bay in 2012 further shows how Singaporehas been made into a pleasant place to live, work, and play.

Gardens by the Bay is one of the top 10 indoor gardens in the world, and is also a horticultural masterpiece. From a fengshui angle, having a garden situated at Marina Bay is highly favourable. Geographically speaking, the Singapore River and Kallang River’s confluence into Marina Bay resembles a dragon’s head, and Gardens by the Bay happens to sit at the dragon’s nose like a fragrant flower.

The main attractions in Gardens by the Bay are the Flower Dome and Cloud Forest. Looking toward the two air-conditioned domes,you’ll find that they offer a different perspective when viewed from different angles. Some say they look like the wings of a butterfly, or two large seashells. It makes sense, doesn’t it?It’s natural for a garden to attract butterflies; so is finding seashells by the sea.

Others suggest that the arcs of the two domes resemble a half-submerged dragon, resting and playing with the Western, Central, and Southern dragons of Singapore! Of course, you may also see these domes as giant eggs, pearls, or eyes. That’s how interesting fengshui is: based on theory and terrain, you build life.

Now, try looking at another attraction of the gardens – the Supertrees – through “feng shui lenses”! These towering “trees” also look like nails, don’t they?

One can’t help but wonder if the Supertrees were deliberately designed to “nail down” something, such as revenue or funds, so that it can’t be lost to something else – like Marina Bay Sands? Exercise your imagination to figure this out!
