SINGAPORE: Gardens by the Bay turned one on Saturday.
More than 10,000 people turned up for a garden party on Saturday evening, which was part of its first anniversary celebrations.
They gathered at the grass lawn of The Meadow for a mass picnic, and enjoyed musical performances by local artistes, which included Kit Chan, Taufik Batisah and Li Feihui.
The event was graced by Minister for Trade and Industry Lim Hng Kiang, who is also the Member of Parliament for West Coast GRC.
It was hosted by Minister for National Development Khaw Boon Wan.
Among the visitors was 17-year-old Harlynna Bte Rahmat, who became the Gardens' five-millionth visitor on Monday.
She said: "The experience has been a great one. Everyone here is very nice to us. They are friendly. The place is very beautiful, very nice."
Dr Tan Wee Kiat, Chief Executive Officer of Gardens by the Bay, said: "It's hard to imagine that we opened our doors only a year ago. And we are very near in completing our basic infrastructure. We still have the children's garden to complete, which we hope to do by the end of this year. And we have a brand new cactus garden.”
