Here are five of the most serene sanctuaries around Asia to plan your journey around from our preferred partners at Remote Lands. ## SINGAPORE BOTANICAL GARDENS ![](https://enroute.travelink.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Nov-07-2024-06-26-23-5374-PM.png?width=553&height=612&name=image-png-Nov-07-2024-06-26-23-5374-PM.png) *Golden Arches in Singapore's Botanic Gardens* The iconic **Singapore** Botanical Gardens, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is one of the top draws in the Lion City. Spanning over 82 hectares, this garden is a haven for plant lovers and outdoor enthusiasts alike. The garden features an astonishing variety of flora, with more than 10,000 species of plants, including a famous orchid garden that houses over 1,000 species of orchids. Tranquil paths allow visitors to explore diverse ecosystems from tropical rainforests to stunning lakes. With its commitment to education and conservation, this garden serves not only as a recreational area but also as a vital botanical research center. **Where to stay:** For a stay steeped in heritage, consider **Raffles Hotel Singapore**, a colonial icon since 1887. This historic landmark has hosted everyone from royalty to literary greats over the years. Located in the heart of the city, the hotel’s classic architecture, lush courtyards, and legendary service create a tranquil retreat from the bustling metropolis.  ## SHALIMAR BAGH, KASHMIR ![](https://enroute.travelink.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Nov-07-2024-06-28-06-3620-PM.png?width=553&height=612&name=image-png-Nov-07-2024-06-28-06-3620-PM.png) *Shalimar Bagh Kashmir* Shalimar Bagh embodies the beauty of Mughal architecture and aesthetics. Established in the 17th century by Mughal Emperor Jahangir for his beloved wife Nur Jahan, this terraced garden is in **Srinagar,** **Kashmir** in northwest India, high in the Himalayas. Renowned for its stunning cascading terraces, vibrant flowerbeds, and impressive water features, Shalimar Bagh is a masterpiece of symmetry and design. The garden's charm is heightened during the spring when diverse flowers bloom, creating a spectacular tapestry of colors amidst the backdrop of the majestic Himalayas. **Where to stay**:  Perched on a hill above Dal Lake and built from local timber and painted in warm, earthy colours, **Vivanta by Taj – Dal View**, evokes the spirit and ethos of the Kashmir Valley. ## YUYUAN GARDEN, SHANGHAI ![](https://enroute.travelink.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Nov-07-2024-06-29-17-2158-PM.png?width=553&height=612&name=image-png-Nov-07-2024-06-29-17-2158-PM.png) *Dianchun Hall, Yuyuan Garden* Yuyuan Garden is a classic Chinese garden located in the heart of[** **](https://www.remotelands.com/destination/shanghai)**Shanghai**. This garden, dating back to the Ming Dynasty, showcases exquisite rockeries, tranquil ponds, and beautifully designed pavilions. A significant highlight is the Grand Rockery, which stands as one of the tallest artificial mountains in Chinese gardens. As you wander through Yuyuan's intricate pathways, you encounter traditional Chinese architectural styles, koi-filled ponds, and meticulously pruned bonsai trees, all of which invite visitors to admire the elegance and harmony of nature intertwined with human artistry. **Where to stay:** Just outside of Shanghai, **Amanyangyun** is set over 100 stunning acres filled with a sacred camphor forest and ornamental lakes. Alternatively, the Peninsula Shanghai is conveniently located right on the spectacular Bund. ## RYOANJI, KYOTO ![](https://enroute.travelink.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Nov-07-2024-06-30-30-5086-PM.png?width=553&height=612&name=image-png-Nov-07-2024-06-30-30-5086-PM.png) *Zen garden at Ryoanji* In the heart of **Kyoto** lies Ryoanji, one of the most famous Zen gardens in **Japan**. Known for its simplicity and tranquility, Ryoanji features a rock garden composed of 15 carefully arranged stones on a bed of white gravel. Designed so you can never see all 15 rocks at once to symbolize imperfection and incompleteness, Ryoanji embodies *wabi-sabi* aesthetics. Visitors often come here seeking meditation and contemplation as they appreciate the artistry behind its minimalism. Surrounded by lush greenery and historical architecture, the garden reflects the principles of Zen philosophy, encouraging a deep connection with nature and self-reflection. Ryoanji is not just a garden but a spiritual experience that simultaneously calms and rejuvenates the soul. **Where to stay:** To continue the sanctuary theme, **Aman Kyoto** is set in a secret garden at the heart of a 32-hectare forest. ## THE SECRET GARDEN AT CHANGDEOKGUNG PALACE, SEOUL ![](https://enroute.travelink.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Nov-07-2024-06-31-37-5274-PM.png?width=553&height=612&name=image-png-Nov-07-2024-06-31-37-5274-PM.png) *Buyeongji pond, Secret Garden* The Secret Garden at Changdeokgung Palace in **Seoul** is a timeless treasure tucked behind the main palace buildings.
