chinese garden japanese garden

Chinese garden is one of the mrt stations in singapore. I have seen it from the train many a time.Huge lakes, large tracts of greenery and meadows fringing the lakes and quaint towerlike structure jotting the landscape. It was a pleasant view after the city ride with its underground and overground areas surrounded by buildings and more buildings.It is as though the city takes a deep breath after the concrete and cranes and gives in to sheer bliss of open spaces and green meadows.

It was one of those hot december afternoons only singapore can boast of. Vini was sure that there will be showers in the evening. So we set out to explore the gardens.It is very close to her place and we took a stroll and were in the midst of pleasant surroundings. What a relief from the forced holiday spots and theme parks!We felt as though life just stood by watching, as we felt ourselves unwind.

Slight drizzle was wafting around us now and then and i was trigger happy and took several beautiful landscape pictures. We did come across a place which proclaimed it has the largest collection of turtles in the world. We had to go in, but then yasas quickly took a back step as she just could not handle so many creepy crawlies. But prashant and me gamefully went through it, just so that we dont miss out on anything.

After a leisurely walk, we sat around the lake for a while and let the world mind its business!
