Little outside of the city, but what a gem. Both the Chinese and the Japanese gardens are very pretty, well done and give you a great sense of peace and harmony.

Went for a quick visit, unfortunately, we didn't give ourselves enough time to explore and enjoy. Our first impression was of well laid out gardens in the Chinese and Japanese style. We thought they were superb and were sorry we couldn't have spent longer. They were very tranquil and relaxing, yet in the formal style the Chinese and Japenese are... More

If you feel like escaping the city and wandering around some nice gardens then this is a good place however the you can get better at the Botanical gardens which are much closer to the CBD

The Chinese and Japanese gardens are one of my favorite places in Singapore. It is an amazing place to just walk around and see the beauty of Mother Nature.

These are well planned gardens with wide, sealed walking paths.

It is more suitable for local people to hanging around. Nothing special in the garden only with a pond with fresh air. Suitable for family with kids like me to spend a weekend with them, picnic or jogging. For oversea tourists i would suggest to visit Botanic Garden instead.
