From the Marina Barrage, not only can you see the Central Business District. You also have a great view of the Singapore Flyer from the Marina Barrage. This was a pleasant surprise for me since I have been longing to take a photo of the Singapore Flyer as a full circle instead of up close. I didn’t know the only place to see that shape would be from the Marina Barrage and of course anywhere in between that, if you can get to it.
With the Singapore River’s mouth now stopped up with a barrage. The waters are now very calm and you get a great reflection from the water. Fortunately, there were not a lot of river traffic this side of the river so there is very little disturbance. There are also other fountains below and you can see it quite clearly from that side. Those fountains are likewise lit up. I was glad I took the time to visit this place. My only gripe was that the buses back to the Marina Bay MRT station took forever and as a result, there was a huge buildup of people at the bus stop. Otherwise, this place is definitely worth a visit. I wouldn’t mind coming back here, I’ll just make sure that I have a tripod on hand.
