Cyberpunk Oasis by the Sea: Exploring Johor’s Forest City 🌆

Driving through Forest City is like cruising into a sci-fi movie IRL 🚗💨. The high-rise towers wrapped in lush, climbing greenery legit look like something out of Blade Runner but with palm trees! It’s such a wild mix — crazy-modern architecture meets total tropical chill vibes. My fave spot? The maze garden! Wander leafy paths, get creative with your pose game, and score those cute, Insta-worthy shots. There’s a stunning bougainvillea arch right at the heart of the maze, and trust me, strolling under all those vibrant flowers feels like you just dropped into an ethereal painting. It’s Forest City’s perfect blend: tomorrow’s city with today’s zen. Don’t sleep on the Stairway to Heaven at the beach. It’s a super aesthetic white stairway that looks like it’s straight-up leading you into the clouds 🌤️. Standing there with the sea breeze and endless horizon is pure magic — main character energy unlocked. If you’re planning a trip, here are my pro tips: - Hit up Forest City in the late arvo! The golden hour glow makes everything pop — plus, you’ll dodge the hardcore midday sun 🌞. - Parking at the maze garden is totally free. Beach-side parking? It’s paid, & cashless only! - Don’t forget it’s a duty-free ‘island’, so there’s a customs inspection at the city entrance. - Pack water + comfy kicks for all the exploring. Forest City is pretty spread out. - The beach area’s got some chill dining spots like Light Bar Forest City. Perfect spot for a snack and a cold drink! - For thrill-seekers and families, Forest City Water Park is open Tues-Sun, 10:00-18:00. Slide into the fun! - Need somewhere to crash? Forest City Marina Hotel is affordable, super spacious, and room balconies give you insane sea views — sometimes even straight across to Singapore! Pool, gym, and water park? You got it. Shoutout to their friendly staff and yummy breakfast, too 🍳✨. Even though Forest City feels like the city of the future, it’s also a mellow hideaway where nature, sleek design, and your imagination vibe together. Whether you’re here for a staycation, , or just chasing new views, this cyberpunk oasis will blow your mind 🤩. #mytraveldiary #beachlife #staycation #seascapes
