★★★★★a month agoThe Fort Canning Tree Tunnel is definitely one of Singapore’s most iconic photo spots. The view looking up through the spiral staircase towards the lush greenery is beautiful and well worth seeing in person. It’s a unique spot that creates stunning photos, especially on a sunny day. The only downside is the long queue, as many visitors are waiting for their turn to take photos. Be prepared to wait, especially during peak hours. That said, most people are patient and respectful, and the final result is worth it if you enjoy photography and sightseeing. A must-visit spot in Singapore, just come early if you want to avoid the crowds!

★★★★★2 months agoQuite a bit of a walk from the bus stop we took, so we ended up sweating a lot before arriving 🤣😂 But once we got there, the design and ambiance made it worth it. Really loved the stylish concept and relaxing atmosphere around the park. The queues actually weren’t too long, but each group spent quite a bit of time taking photos, so our group decided to just enjoy snapping pictures from all the available angles instead 😆 Only thing — Singapore was unbelievably humid and scorching hot this week! 😅🤣 We were melting after all the walking. Maybe visiting during another period of the year would feel even nicer weather-wise.
