The Supertrees are among Singapore’s most photographed sights, and the Christmas run adds festive colour.
What to do
01 · Watch The Christmas Special
Gardens by the Bay describes Supertree lights dancing to favourite Christmas classics, with highlights sung by local artists. Before it, from 1 to 28 November, the show runs as Garden Waltz.
02 · Plan your shots
Arrive before 7.45pm to set up while there’s still some blue in the sky, then shoot the 8.45pm show in full dark (suggestion).
A wide lens helps under the trees; a longer lens works from the edges of the grove (suggestion).
