You know, when our STB goes around the world saying that Singapore is a Garden City and that you can tell it from the moment you touch down at Changi Airport, they weren't kidding.
I agree. *_*
From Changi Airport, you travel along the ECP, passing by the entire stretch of East Coast Park and then you either turn into the newer MCE that is one of the longest expressway tunnels in Singapore and which at its deepest point lies 20m under the seabed heading towards Keppel, the Downtown Core and Sentosa, or you turn onto the Sheares Bridge that offers you one of the most gorgeous views of the Singapore Strait and the Marina Reservoir, heading towards Suntec City, Orchard and Downtown.
Neither were they kidding when they said you'd get to see one of the most scenic views along the expressway heading from the airport to the city.
This, I agree too. :)
The trees don't start only when you reach Downtown. You don't have to go to a particular park or a particular nature reserve to see the trees and urban planning. You see it the moment you get on the bus (the 36 bus specifically) or on the cab. :)
And you get to say goodbye to the trees too as you make your way to the airport, just so you won't forget the country as a Garden City. :)
These pictures were taken in succession one dusky evening the entire route on the ECP all the way until the first SATS building came into view and till we reached Terminal 3.
You'll see what I mean. :)
