Chinese Gardens of Singapore

I’ve had a chance to visit the Chinese Gardens again because Jean toured some of her former classmates around while on a short trip here. While Jean and her friends roamed the gardens with Jean having her D40 with her, it was a chance for me to really just sit back and take some few shots that I wanted. A deviation from the usual things when all you think about is having a picture of yourself. It was like really meeting someone intimately… And I wanted to show in my pictures something that the garden symbolizes, like mood, feeling and its personality. I hope i did though, since I was very happy with these few pics. some PP were done to further invoke the mood that I wanted to project, but still a faithfull personafication of the actual thing. Aside from the pictures, I also painted, since I brought my watercolour sets with me. but that’s another story that I will tackle soon.

Chinese Garden (Chinese: 裕华园), also commonly known as Jurong Gardens, is a park in Jurong East, Singapore. The garden was built in 1975 and designed by Prof. Yuen-chen Yu, a well-known architect from Taiwan, the Chinese Garden’s concept is based on Chinese gardening art. The main characteristic is the integration of splendid architectural features with the natural environment. The Chinese Garden is modelled along the northern Chinese imperial style of architecture and landscaping. It is located next to Chinese Garden MRT Station.
