Singaporeans are no strangers to an ever-changing city skyline, but whenever there are mentions of "yet another iconic building project", prepare to hear comments that it's going to be a total eyesore or waste of time/money/effort building.

Funny enough, after said building is up, people flock to it like bees to honey because entry is free (and because we tend to run out of creative ideas for weekends).

Here's 5 places in recent Singapore history that have been IG-friendly despite the naysayers. And some of them are really all about perspectives. Have fun this weekend but don't go crazy with those filters!

1. Gardens by the Bay (or 'Monster Trees with aircon')
