"Orchids of Angkor Wat" Exhibit Opens at Singapore's Cloud Forest

With its newest display, "Orchids of Angkor Wat," the Cloud Forest at Gardens by the Bay allows guests to discover the enchantment of Angkor Wat. Running through September 8, 2024, this amazing show will showcase a vast array of native Cambodian orchids and their hybrids, skillfully set against the backdrop of an immaculately constructed facsimile of the famous Angkor Wat temple.

In addition to showcasing orchids' natural beauty, the display strives to honor the cultural and historical value of Angkor Wat, one of the world's most famous architectural wonders. The show connects historical grandeur and natural beauty by including themes of biodiversity and Cambodian heritage.
