The Botanic Garden is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and showcases the best and most spectacular tropical flora in a stunning green landscape. We hopped on the metro and got off at the north-east entrance to the park. As we walked through the beautiful park, we were greeted by beautiful nature and even spotted some wild chickens, large lizards and giant grasshoppers. The best part of our visit was the orchid garden with over 1,000 species. Here we saw Singapore&#8217;s national flower, the Vanda Miss Joaquim. We were blown away by the incredible array of colourful flowers. Have a look at the pictures below to see for yourself! At the end of our tour, we saw the Swiss granite fountain, which was given to Singapore by Swiss expatriates to celebrate the 700th anniversary of Switzerland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.zhaw.ch\/sml-international\/files\/2023\/06\/IMG_4371-rotated.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.zhaw.ch\/sml-international\/files\/2023\/06\/IMG_4371-rotated.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7481\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.zhaw.ch\/sml-international\/files\/2023\/06\/IMG_4371-rotated.jpg 480w, https:\/\/blog.zhaw.ch\/sml-international\/files\/2023\/06\/IMG_4371-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.zhaw.ch\/sml-international\/files\/2023\/06\/IMG_4379-rotated.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.zhaw.ch\/sml-international\/files\/2023\/06\/IMG_4379-rotated.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7482\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.zhaw.ch\/sml-international\/files\/2023\/06\/IMG_4379-rotated.jpg 480w, https:\/\/blog.zhaw.ch\/sml-international\/files\/2023\/06\/IMG_4379-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.zhaw.ch\/sml-international\/files\/2023\/06\/IMG_4329-rotated.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.zhaw.ch\/sml-international\/files\/2023\/06\/IMG_4329-rotated.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7483\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.zhaw.ch\/sml-international\/files\/2023\/06\/IMG_4329-rotated.jpg 480w, https:\/\/blog.zhaw.ch\/sml-international\/files\/2023\/06\/IMG_4329-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.zhaw.ch\/sml-international\/files\/2023\/06\/PHOTO-2023-06-25-15-17-04.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"7484\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.zhaw.ch\/sml-international\/files\/2023\/06\/PHOTO-2023-06-25-15-17-04-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7484\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.zhaw.ch\/sml-international\/files\/2023\/06\/PHOTO-2023-06-25-15-17-04-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.zhaw.ch\/sml-international\/files\/2023\/06\/PHOTO-2023-06-25-15-17-04-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.zhaw.ch\/sml-international\/files\/2023\/06\/PHOTO-2023-06-25-15-17-04-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.zhaw.ch\/sml-international\/files\/2023\/06\/PHOTO-2023-06-25-15-17-04-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.zhaw.ch\/sml-international\/files\/2023\/06\/PHOTO-2023-06-25-15-17-04.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Newton Food Centre<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the evening, we visited the Newton Food Centre, a popular place to try some of Singapore&#8217;s delicious food.
