UNESCO World Heritage Site- The Singapore Botanic Gardens2019
植物园 (Botanic Gardens) 是新加坡首个获列入联合国教科文组织名录的世界文化遗产，与柬埔寨吴哥窟和中国长城等地标齐名，为新加坡“花园中的城市”美誉再添佐证。
1859 年，农业园艺协会 (Agri-Horticultural Society) 将一片 60 英亩的废弃种植园转变为一个热门的休闲花园，这就是您今天所见的新加坡植物园。
植物园内枝繁叶茂、百花齐放的宽阔绿地，不仅是慢跑、用餐或闲逛的理想休闲场所，还是领先的植物和园艺研究中心。
园内景点包括国家胡姬花园，这里展示的胡姬花规模堪称全球之最，拥有超过 6 万株植物和胡姬花。
另外，新加坡植物园遗产博物馆的多媒体互动展览，向游客详细、生动地展示花园的丰富遗产，CDL 绿意廊则举办与植物相关的展览。
雅格巴拉斯儿童花园则是孩子们的欢乐园地，通过寓教于乐的方式向孩子传授与植物生命有关的所有知识。在阳光下游览一天后必将又饥又渴，园内还有许多餐厅和咖啡厅供您选择。
The more than 150-year-old Singapore Botanic Gardens is a star visitor attraction for the sophisticated traveller and the local resident. The Gardens possess an array of botanical and horticultural attractions with a rich history and a wonderful plant collection of worldwide significance. Complementing these unique resources are sensitive developments and entertainment events providing visitors educational and recreational facilities amidst the wonders of nature. It is the most visited botanic gardens in the world and is a unique example of the informal English Landscape Movement’s style in an equatorial climate.
Brief History
The first botanical garden was set up by Sir Stamford Raffles, the founder of Singapore and a keen naturalist, in 1822 on Government Hill at Fort Canning, mainly to introduce into cultivation economic crops. It closed in 1829 and, in 1859, at the present Tanglin site a new garden was developed by an Agri-Horticultural Society, and later handed over to the government in 1874. From an ornamental garden with roads, terraces, a band parade area and even a small zoo, it has come a long way in evolving into a leading equatorial botanic garden of 82 hectares, where major world crops, such as rubber and orchids were launched.
In June 2012, Singapore ratified the World Heritage Convention and in December 2012, submitted its World Heritage Tentative List to UNESCO to indicate interest in inscribing the Singapore Botanic Gardens as a World Heritage Site.
In January 2014, the official Nomination Dossier for the Gardens was submitted to UNESCO. In September 2014, a technical assessor from the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) visited the Gardens as part of the bid evaluation process.
On 4 July 2015, the Gardens received inscription as a UNESCO World Heritage Site at the 39th session of the World Heritage Committee (WHC).
The Gardens
The Gardens was originally developed along a 3-core Concept. The three cores comprised Tanglin which is the heritage core retaining the old favourites and charms of the historic Gardens; Central, the tourist belt of the Gardens; and Bukit Timah, the educational and discovery zone. A fourth core, Tyersall-Gallop, was created with the opening in 2017 of the Learning Forest which is designed to integrate into the Gardens' existing rainforest to form an enlarged forest habitat.
Each Core presents an exciting array of attractions. Take your time to stroll around the Gardens and enjoy the wonderful sights, sounds and wonders the luscious greenery offers.
