It is free entry to the gardens however, there are charges for the OCBC skyway which costs five Singaporean Dollars per person, and the additional buggy rides will cost around two dollars per person.

Here is the view from the lake:

Gardens By The Bay Flower Dome Virtual Tour

Okay, you're probably here because you were reading out the most Romantic Things to do in Singapore.

Well, here is a small 360 tour at a few spots around the Flower Dome.

This was near the desert ecosystem with cacti patches and desert shrubs.
This was the vantage point near the entrance, overviewing the entire dome.
Finally, here is the view near the exit.



Marina Bay Sands Level 57 Virtual Tour

As part of the things to do in Singapore, here is a virtual tour of the MBS floating deck!

Note that the Observation deck is open to the public but the swimming pools are reserved for guests only. The infinity pool stretches across the top of the deck and feels like an oasis in the air.

Swimming Pool during the daytime:

At night, this becomes such an experience. Imagine overlooking city lights sipping drinks on the water!

Gunung Datuk

Gunung Datuk is located in Rembau, Negeri Sembilan and is a two hour drive from Kuala Lumpur. Due to its remoteness, the markedly less people compared to the more popular Broga Hill. The drive itself will take you to a very small road ( that does not even look like a road at all ) deep towards the foot of the mountain. The GPS coordinates are : 2.543015,102.168705.

Despite its remoteness, there were quite a few people there. Do be prepared for the seasonal bus loads of students from around the area. These batches of students may create a bottle neck at the summit where only one ladder make up the entry and exit of the summit. The entire journey up will take 2-3 hours depending on your speed. At the summit, you might want to hang around for an hour or two and the journey back is another 2-3 hours.

We ascended at 9am. The climb is a two hour journey starting with a very steep decent for about 1 hour. It gets gradually easier or the next hour while the last 30 minutes is steep again. Reaching up the summit, a couple of huge boulders will greet you and a few tiny ladders will allow visitors to trickle up and down the rocks. As you will be reaching mid day, you might consider bringing some sun protection - the sun is really hot up there. Bring 1 litre of water per person as it does get really dehydrating in the sun. Luckily we brought umbrellas to the top which proved useful. A picnic there would be great as well and the view is just breathtaking

 Getting down is a challenge and will strain your knees. A knee guard or strap can help cushion the impact. On the way down, we got a little lost but managed to find our way back down in the end. The best thing down there was a small shop selling ice cold drinks in the hot weather. Special thanks to BB, Wai Kit, Sook Wan, Xing Xian, Melissa and two more companions who made the journey up!
