Gardens by the Bay, Flower Dome

My mother's friend, Aunty Pang arrived from Taiwan this afternoon and she will be staying with us until Tuesday. It is her first visit to Singapore. My mother and I took her to visit Gardens by the Bay. It is also our first visit! :)
We decided to visit the Flower Dome where Tulipmania is on display now. I am surprised to learn that tulips originated in the ancient Ottoman Empire (which is present-day Turkey). Always wonderful to learn something new. :)
We are really lucky to catch the last of the cherry blossoms from the last display. This is the first time I see cherry blossoms. They are so pretty. 
We had dinner before walking along the bay towards Marina Bay Sands. It was a nice walk after dinner. We managed to show Aunty Pang Marina Bay Sands, Art Science Museum, the Fullerton Hotel and the Financial Centre on the opposite bank.
Singapore does have some beautiful night scenes.
