About this audio guide
This guide to Cloud Forest at Gardens by the Bay starts at the base of a forty-two-metre artificial mountain, where the air drops ten degrees the moment you step inside. It explains why displaced highland plants, orchids, pitcher plants, mosses, need engineering to survive here at all, and traces the tricks built into the dome to keep them alive. You'll hear how the waterfall does more than look beautiful. Walk the elevated Cloud Walk and listen for what keeps the whole structure cool.
