My World Tuesday - The Helix Bridge


Last week, I introduced the Marina Bay Sands Integrated Resort. You can see the hotel in the background. From where I am standing, it is the entrance of The Helix Bridge which you can see on the left of the photo. The bridge connected directly to the resort.

This is the world first double helix curved bridge. It is about 280 metre long and the whole bridge looked like a DNA double helix. The steel tubes form the minor and major helix that spiral in opposite directions. At night the bridge will be illuminated and will be very beautiful. I will come another day during the night and take more photos.




The bridge is not fully covered. So you need an umbrella if it rains. But the walk across the bridge takes only about 10 minutes. But most take longer as they try to admire the bridge and the surrounding scenery.



At the side of the bridge are several such balcony.

Lots of steel were used to make this bridge.

What's behind the poster?

Continued from yesterday's post about what's behind the poster. The below photo is part of the poster where I peek through the window. This is what's behind the poster. The final part of the bridge where I am standing.

The bridge where I am standing is very impressive and very very expensive. I will post about the bridge in future post cause I wanted to tell you where the bridge leads to.

The above photo with the window is the same window that's in the poster in the below photo.

The bridge leads to The Shoppes at Marina Bay. The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands, boasting over 800,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space, is Singapore's first large-scale luxury shopping destination. It is part of the MarinaBaySands which comprises of the shopping centre, casino and hotel.

You can find more information from their official website. You can see from their website how big the shoppe is. I will post about the Shoppe in tomorrow's post with photos.

The Shoppes is not fully completed but they will be completed very soon. But the internal of the Shoppes is already open for business.
More photos of The Shoppes coming in tomorrow's post.

What are they peeking at?


What are these people peeking? Actually these people are not real people. From far, I thought I saw people peeking into the windows but when approaching the huge poster, these people are part of the poster's drawings.
Something big and expensive is behind the poster. That's why I was so tired (mentioned in yesterday's post), after walking around the area.

You got to return to find out more about it as I try to sort out the photos in order.
