Marina Barrage was officially opened in 2008 as Singapore’s 15th reservoir. It was created to provide water supply, as a flood control and an attraction site for locals and tourists.
Built across the mouth of the 350-metre-wide Marina Channel, it is also a popular destination for water sports such as kayaking or dragon boat races.
With a large open garden space by the sea that brings strong winds, the elevated patch of green space can be accessed via a lift or a pathway that goes around up to the top, making the perfect spot for kite flying.
Instagram-worthy! Here is where you can capture amazing shots of the Singapore skyline.
