Singapore China Town

 

 Chinese Temple at China town Singapore

Went to China town and hoping to shoot some colorful scene but unfortunately it was very cloudy. Not even cloudy but also drizzling. So end up one and only one shot.

China town is one of a very unique and interesting places in Singapore. It has its own culture and tradition and the feeling is very much different from the commonly seen shopping environment. 

In fact, it is one of the most photographed sites in Singapore. 

Chinese Garden, Singapore

The 7-stories pagoda is situated on a small hill in the Chinese Garden, and the design follows the style of Ling Ku Temple Pagoda at Nanjing, China. It is cool and windy once you go up, and one can enjoy the surrounding scenery and probably the best site of Chines garden (for me).

Chinese Garden was built in 1975 and garden design was by a well-known architect from Taiwan, and the concept is based on Chinese gardening art. It is located next to Chinese Garden train Station.

The Garden provide a peaceful atmosphere to visitors who go there for either walk or jog or enjoy the landscaped grounds. It is famous for almost all amateur and professional photographers who love nature photography. Probably the most beautiful place for wedding photography by the bridges and pagodas. Not only that, family photography or picnic should also be considered since it is the most quiet, decent and beautiful place in Singapore.

The bottom-up view of the temple was taken from the inside of the building.

With maximum effort, years of planning and cultivation, Singapore has became well known as Garden City. There are are several gardens and parks and some of these include Singapore Botanic Garden, Chinese Garden, Japanese Garden, Forth Canning Park, East Coast Park, Bishan Park, Telok Blangah Park and Pulau Ubin Recreation Area.

One of the fundamental aspects of Garden City concept is the road side landscaping or greenery. As Singapore progress, there is a danger of losing landscapes and thus landscape maintenance and landscape design are becoming critical in building the Garden City.

Temple on the hill

Hi, welcome everyone.

This photo was taken in January 2009 at Taunggyi, Myanmar. The city is built at an elevation of 4,790 feet above sea level. The name Taunggyi means "big mountain" in the Burmese language. Taungyyi is in fact quite progressive & perhaps the most beautiful city of Burma.

The temple is situated on top of the Taunggyi's mountain, probably at about 5500 feet from sea level. But it is accessible by car despite its high altitude. One can feel a very cool and fresh breeze from the top and enjoy the scenery of the sprawling city of Taungyyi. The scenery up there is awesome and perfect for landscape photography.

The distinctness is the built of the temple, which is different from those at the lower part of Myanmar.
