The world painted by Littlelle: Chinese and Japanese Gardens of Singapore

O Jardim Chinês e o Jardim Japonês, separados pela ponte Double Beauty, proporcionam duas paisagens únicas junto ao Lago Jurong. É uma ótima opção para procurar serenidade e tranquilidade fora da cidade. Estes jardins ficam um pouco afastados do centro, contudo tens metro que te leva mesmo até à entrada.

The Chinese Garden and Japanese Garden, separated by the Double Beauty Bridge, provide two unique landscapes along Jurong Lake. It’s a great option to seek serenity and tranquillity out of the city. These gardens are a little far from the center, however you have metro that takes you right up to the entrance.

O Jardim Chinês apresenta uma área de 13,5 ha onde encontras paisagem e arquitetura típica da China imperial, como pagodes, pavilhões chineses, estátuas de heróis chineses, casa de chá, Jardim da Abundância com estátuas dos 12 animais do Zodíaco chinês e até mesmo um Museu da Tartaruga (5 SGD). Eu gostei particularmente do Jardim de Bonsais, espaço dedicado à coleção de Bonsai em estilo Suzhou. Tão tranquilo!

The Chinese Garden has an area of 13.5 ha, where you will find landscape and architecture typical of imperial China, such as Pagodas (The Pagodas Twins and the seven storey Cloud Piercing Pagoda), Chinese pavilions, statues of Chinese heroes, Tea House, Garden of Abundance with statues of the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac and even the Live Turtle & Tortoise Museum Turtle Museum (5 SGD). I particularly enjoyed the Bonsai Garden, a space dedicated to the Suzhou-style Bonsai collection. So peaceful!

Ao atravessares a ponte, encontras um jardim tipicamente japonês com lagos com nenúfares e pontes vermelhas em arco, jardins de pedras, lanternas e pagodes japoneses.

As you cross the bridge, you will find a typically Japanese garden with ponds with water lilies and red arched bridges, stone gardens, lanterns and Japanese pagodas.
