“What is luge?” I asked my friend.
“you rode down the mountain in a little cart”
Wow, it sounds exotic :). Indeed, according to their website, only Singapore, New Zealand, South Korea and Canada …, a few places have this.

Skyline luge is located in Setaso on top of the mountain, the same place where the cable car ends. Taking escalators among the trees on the mountain feels exotic. You see wild peacocks chill around once you reach the top.

The carts look like this.

The ride only takes a few minutes. But the lines are long. The good thing is that the signs tell you how long you need to wait. We rode a couple of times and mostly waited for about 15 minutes on the top for the cart and 5 minutes on the bottom for the lift.

It is very easy to learn how to steer the cart (kids do it :)). Once you head out, there are a couple of trails. You can select the curving ones; you can experience the speed and try the straight down ones; there are also ones going into a tunnel or among the tall trees.

Then you take lift back to the top. The lift also automatically loads the carts and ship them to the top. It looks quite amusing.

It is a pleasant ride at the time when there is beautiful sunset and warm breeze.

“Once is never enough”, I agree. I wish the trails can be a bit longer. We stopped after a few runs when we still want to play. It’s like a cliffhanger that makes us look forward to the next luge trip. It’s another pleasant evening and great experience!

Here, we arrived at the third part of the Gardens by the Bay. Surprise that many people were siting on the floor around here … “There will be a light show starting at 7:45pm” one of the girls told me. We totally did not plan that, and we were so lucky!!

The light show was about half an hour and played with famous Broadway music, “Little Shop of Horrors” “Les Miserable” “Evita – don’t cry for me Argentina” “Phantom of Opera” … Those songs have accompanied me many years of NYC Broadway show experiences, so it was touching to hear them here and sing along. The lights danced with music, so did the people around the lights. Everyone had a good time. Some moments can genuinely bring you joy like this one. I also felt this when I was in the Shanghai Disney watching fireworks and light shows. Just keep smiling and feel happy.

We then took elevators up to the sky way which allows us to walk around the “light trees” at a certain height. Wow, suddenly, you were emerging in the light sea.

Skyway is several minutes of walk. You can see about 30 trees around here with different colors. It sometimes feels futuristic and alien.

From the skyway, you also see the beautiful night skyline of Singapore.

Some moments in life are like pearls: they are just so pure and beautiful. Hope you can spend those moments with your loved ones; if not, at least share those moments.
