For nature lovers, paradise comes in the
form of the Singapore Botanic Gardens,
which gained UNESCO World Heritage
Site status in 2015. It’s easy to lose yourself
in this lush oasis of calm and respite from
life in the bustling city. Tennis fans will
want to pay a visit to the National Orchid
Garden located within, which is home to a
variety of hybrid orchids named after major
personalities, including the inaugural WTA
Finals Singapore champion Serena Williams.
