Destination
A cosmopolitan medley of contrasts where history and modernity coincides, where East meets West to create a multicultural kaleidoscope- Singapore captivates with world-class shopping, fine gastronomy, remarkable entertainment and a sound business infrastructure.
Singapore is home to a collage of communities, cultures and religions, each accompanied by a rich heritage and all co-existing harmoniously. Merely minutes away by taxi or MRT, a cultural heritage trail beckons in the ethnic enclave of Little India along Serangoon Road. Authentically local, Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple and gaily painted shophouses line the streets whilst more shopping awaits at Mustafa, Singapore’s only 24-hour shopping complex offering a mammoth assortment of goods and services, ranging from CDs to cameras, gold-blend tea to pure gold jewellery. Take the opportunity to experience Singapore’s diverse ethnology in ethnic enclaves including Chinatown, Kampong Glam, Joo Chiat and Katong.
A thriving ecosystem of nature and wildlife is also embedded within this urban oasis. Take time to discover the rich flora and fauna of this Garden City at the Singapore Botanic Gardens. More than 150 years old, the three-core lush sprawling grounds boast an array of botanical and horticultural attractions including the Ginger Garden, Evolution Garden, Coolhouse and Children’s Garden, complete with an extensive plant collection of worldwide significance. Nature lovers may delve into earth’s hidden treasures in landscaped gardens, nature reserves, rainforests and wetlands scattered across the island. Wildlife enthusiasts may zip down to the Mandai Zoo, Night Safari or Jurong Bird Park for a close-up encounter with some of the world’s rarest species. There is something for everyone.
Don’t forget to visit Singapore’s popular island resort – Sentosa. Easily accessible by car, MRT or cable car, Sentosa offers a rich variety of experiences, recreation and entertainment to visitors. From pristine beaches, the Underwater World and Dolphin Lagoon to Sentosa Luge & Skyride and the newly opened Universal Studios theme park, there are plenty to do. Just days and nights can be spent at the two integrated resorts alone. Resorts World Sentosa and Marina Bay Sands both feature world class casinos and a multitude of entertainment options. These are truly massive complexes that never sleep.
Also within the precinct is Singapore’s latest hot spot – Dempsey Hill, a revamped colonial neighborhood comprising eighteen blocks of old world charm and real world comfort. Bustling with world-class dining and bars, and exquisite antique furniture set amidst lush greenery, Dempsey is the perfect antidote for claustrophobic souls and the hyperactive.
