The human-made, alien-like, supertrees range from 25-metres to 50-metres tall and compose a spectacular vertical garden, collectively covered in 160,000+ plants. Apart from being an incredible design feature, the supertrees are exhaust receptacles for the nearby conservatories. Additionally, with 11 of the supertrees fitted with solar technology, they also convert sunlight into energy. The electricity generated powers the Garden Rhapsody shows and water functions within the conservatories below. â€‹

Also located at Supertree Grove is the 128-metre long OCBC Skyway, which allows you to view the supertrees and the Garden Rhapsody light and sound show from high among the tree tops. The skyway is 22-metres above the ground and is well worth the view from the top. If you wish to see the Garden Rhapsody show from the Skyway, arrive early - the queue can be long, so arrive well before the 7:45 and 8:45 PM show times.

​As I was leaving the cloud forest at 7:45 PM I could hear the sounds of the Garden Rhapsody show in the distance. I thought the first show started at 8 PM, however, arrived in enough time to catch the end.

With an hour to kill, I went in search of dinner. I decided on the Peach Garden Noodle House. A restaurant positioned alongside Supertree Grove and located inside the Supertree Dining complex, ensuring I was close by for the 2nd show.
​I ordered a trusted favourite - dumpling soup - It was nice; so nice I continued eating without noticing the presence dead aquatic crustaceans. The dish was not pork as I assumed, What I had in front of me was prawn dumplings with a side of involuntary munting, fantastic. My stark reminder to read the menu thoroughly and correctly when overseas.

Immersed in my phone and not paying attention to the time, the 2nd Garden Rhapsody show began. I quickly finished up and before the queasiness from the prawns set in; I head outside to see the show.
I'm not going to lie; the music selection throughout the duration of the 15-minute show isn't for everyone and may be viewed by some as a little tacky. â€‹
Keeping in mind that this is an Asian country, and the songs were in English, universally, I think the organisers selected pretty well.

Gardens by the Bay have also previously run popular programs such as a Star Wars theme on May the 4th, with the supertrees turning into saber trees, shooting light beams into the sky.

The accompanying light show is enjoyable and aesthetically pleasing. Something free to see when visiting Singapore and versatile enough for all ages.
