- Orchard Road Singapore to Singapore Botanic Gardens Travel Guide (2019) is a video recording of my walk with no talking. I highly recommend using headphones to experience 3D environment sounds as I recorded with binaural microphones.

Orchard Road Info:
Orchard Road is a 2.2 kilometre-long major road in the Central Area of Singapore. Often known colloquially as Orchard, the area is a major shopping belt and tourist attraction. In the 19th century, Orchard Road got its name from the nutmeg, pepper and fruit orchards in the area. Currently, Orchard Road is a shopping and dining paradise, with over 5,000 establishments offering food, clothing, luxury goods to tourists and locals alike.
Singapore Botanic Gardens Info:
The Singapore Botanic Gardens is a 160-year-old tropical garden located at the fringe of Singapore's Orchard Road shopping district. It is one of three gardens, and the only tropical garden, to be honoured as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Botanic Gardens has been ranked Asia's top park attraction since 2013, by TripAdvisor Travellers' Choice Awards. It was declared the inaugural Garden of the Year, International Garden Tourism Awards in 2012, and received Michelin's three-star rating in 2008.
The Botanic Gardens was founded at its present site in 1859 by an agri-horticultural society. It played a pivotal role in the region's rubber trade boom in the early twentieth century, when its first scientific director Henry Nicholas Ridley, headed research into the plant's cultivation. By perfecting the technique of rubber extraction, still in use today, and promoting its economic value to planters in the region, rubber output expanded rapidly. At its height in the 1920s, the Malayan peninsula cornered half of the global latex production.
The National Orchid Garden, within the main gardens, is at the forefront of orchid studies and a pioneer in the cultivation of hybrids, complementing the nation's status as a major exporter of cut orchids. Aided by the equatorial climate, it houses the largest orchid collection of 1,200 species and 2,000 hybrids.
Early in the nation's independence, Singapore Botanic Gardens' expertise helped to transform the island into a tropical Garden City, an image and moniker for which the nation is widely known. In 1981, the hybrid climbing orchid, Vanda Miss Joaquim, was chosen as the nation's national flower. Singapore's "orchid diplomacy" honours visiting head of states, dignitaries and celebrities, by naming its finest hybrids after them; these are displayed at its popular VIP Orchid Gardens.
The Singapore's Botanic Gardens is opened from 5 a.m. to 12 midnight daily. There is no admission fee, except for the National Orchid Garden. More than 10,000 species of flora is spread over its 82-hectares area, which is stretched vertically; the longest distance between the northern and southern ends is 2.5 km (1.6 mi). The Botanic Gardens receives about 4.5 million visitors annually.

Hi fellow Discoverers. This is Alan from Discovery Walking Tours TV. Do subscribe and ring the bell if you are keen to see more of Singapore. I used binaural microphones to record the environmental sounds. So if you have a pair of headphones, do use them, it will be quite an immersive experience 😀
If you notice any interesting points in the video or want to ask about something that was caught on camera, comment with a time stamp (eg 00:01) and I will be sure to check it out. I am also interested to know where you are from 😄 so drop a comment below and say hi!

Simply. Singapore is another planet, another world.
Its definitely a nice and safe place to live. Have you been here before?
@@DiscoveryWalkingToursTV No I haven't. One day I will be there.
@@robg1980 Singapore will be more than happy to welcome you when the time comes. Stay safe and healthy Rob =)
@@DiscoveryWalkingToursTV thank you so much!
An excellent walk/shopping video. Thanks heaps Alan.
Interesting inside/outside walk. Seems like Singapore is truly a pedestrian haven.
It is. Just about every road in Singapore has a pedestrian walkway beside it. If you are really determined, you will be able to walk all across Singapore on walkways with ease 😊
@@DiscoveryWalkingToursTV That sounds like heaven. My home country is the same but I've always wanted to live abroad. Guess I'm moving to Singapore 😂
@@AJGress would be an interesting experience for sure 😉 Singapore is pretty multi-cultural so I'm sure you will enjoy it here
Nice. Never made it to the Gardens in all my trips. Hopefully 2021 we can travel again.
cleanest country in the world
Very likely 😄 Although I been to Tokyo and Osaka and the people there are much more civic minded (they will bring their own plastic bags and throw trash at home). Here in Singapore we depend on our "army" of cleaners to do the work for us. Something we should be doing on our own.
Thanks for this walk, Alan! Really enjoyed it.
Thanks AW 😁🇸🇬
@@DiscoveryWalkingToursTV You're welcome!

Nice! Where is OAKs located? Could you put a time stamp on it (eg 00:01)? If the footage brings good memories, probably a sign for you for come back and visit Singapore soon 😄

Good job 👍.What camera you use ?
Thanks Chaturanga =) Glad to hear from you. I am using a DJI Osmo Pocket.
12:05 Wow! Look at these bikers all cad in black from head to toe! Can't believe they're not dying from heatstroke.
It's hot and humid. Kudos to them for sticking with the uniform 🔥😁
They’re police! They have to be tough to make it thru training.
But yeah, very hot/humid in SG. Have to exercise early or late.
