Singapore Botanic Gardens named Asia's top park by TripAdvisor

The Singapore Botanic Gardens has been ranked the top park in Asia for the second year in a row in the TripAdvisor Travellers' Choice awards, the travel site announced on Tuesday (June 17).

In second place was the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park in Japan, followed by the Nan Lian Garden in Hong Kong. Gardens by the Bay’s Cloud Forest Dome also made it to the list, coming in at the 25th spot.

The Singapore Botanic Gardens came in 11th in the ranking of the world’s top parks. In first place was Stanley Park in Vancouver, Canada.

“This is an encouragement to us as we continue to work towards conserving the living heritage of the Gardens for future generations to enjoy,” said Dr Nigel Taylor, Director of the Singapore Botanic Gardens.

Award winners were determined using an algorithm that took into account the quantity and quality of reviews posted on TripAdvisor over a 12-month period, the travel site said.
