Despite the strong wind blowing, some people tried hard to send their kites up.
The urban view can be seen in the background. It depicts the sensation of escaping from reality and work.
The green grass made us felt like we were in the Garden of Eden. Even though it was scotching hot, we still had fun enjoyed ourselves! Marina Barrage is a scenic place that provides you with a relaxing and refreshing experience. The sceneries include places like Singapore’s famous flyer which is at a height of 165m. You will be able to catch a good view of the flyer even though it is a sea apart. The Green roof and the Pump house also has beautiful scenery to be captured by visitors.
The Pump house resides by the reservoir and holds very beautiful scenery for photo-taking or even just to relax and enjoy the wind. The Green roof provides a place for people to relax, play kites and even have a picnic as this wide area has much to offer for enjoying a day out with family, friends or simply to cool down after a day’s work. Tourists will get the most peaceful view here away from the usual bustling crowds such as those in Chinatown or Little India. There is also the Marina Bridge, which holds the press gate that controls the water flow which further enhances the atmosphere, allowing it to be a relaxing place for people to not only enjoy the food and also the many entertainment spots such as the water area where children get to play with the water. The mere enjoyment of the atmosphere around Marina Barrage is enough to satisfy all.
On our visit there, we brought lots of food, ranging from sushi to sandwiches. It sure was a delicious spread. After breathing in the fresh air and enjoying the beautiful view, we settled down on the grass to start on our feast. We played some games too, the forfeit being eating chips with wasabi. It is indeed a great place for families to have a picnic at. Around us were groups of friends and families. Some having picnics too and some flying kites. There were a few children running around, looking so carefree. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we almost forgot we were there to review the place. Evening came quickly. Tons of people were flying kites. A memorable one was a long snake kite that stretched across the sky. It looked magnificent. Lit at the bottom, we could see it easily, swerving in the sky, avoiding all the other small ones and flying even higher. The night there is cooling, unlike the temperature in the afternoon. So if you would like to spend romantic time with your other half, the evening is a great time to do so. You might even want to propose to her there.
The Singapore Flyer is the world's largest observation wheel, standing at 165m tall from the ground. It is the height of a 42-storey building, which is also 30 metres taller than the famed London Eye. The Flyer is a S$240 million dollar investment and would be a one-of-a-kind experience everyone would like to try. It offers visitor a breathtaking, paranomic view of Marina Bay waterfront and the historical landmarks dotting the city skyline such as Raffles Place, Empress Place, Padang and the Merlion Park.
There is also a wide range of shops, restaurants, activities and facilities at the convenience of visitors to enjoy as well. The Flyer offers restaurants ranging from Japanese to Indian fusion and Italian epicurean, which gives visitors a taste of why Singapore is the gourmet capital of Asia.
On top of all, visitors will get a chance to experience the urban nature with the tropical rainforest which is the the centre of the atrium. The cascading water displays, streams, rocky outcrops and pond fuse together naturally to offer a picturesque landscape for photo taking, where all the greenery surrounding you. Furthermore, the exotic rocky terrain serves as a complement to the area. The koi pond in the area, also, helped to enhance the feeling of being in a rain forest.
To add on, visitors can rest in the shade of the Greek Theatre which is located next beside the Singapore Flyer while the little ones can frolic about the interactive water fountain where they will have a blast with dancing water jets and water sprays at the cheery and colourful aqua playground, available on selected days and timings. Others include Fish spa, it’s a spa where Doctor Fishes (“Garra Rufa”) work their magic on your feet. These fish, imported from Turkey, have healing properties and will give you a pedicure you won’t forget. It is known to eat away ‘dead’ skin cells from your foot and reveal a smooth and shiny leg.
