Little outside of the city, but what a gem. Both the Chinese and the Japanese gardens are very pretty, well done and give you a great sense of peace and harmony.

The Chinese and Japanese gardens are one of my favorite places in Singapore. It is an amazing place to just walk around and see the beauty of Mother Nature.
