If there is one word that best captures
Singapore, it is “unique”. A dynamic city
rich in contrast and colour, where you'll
find a harmonious blend of culture, cuisine,
arts and architecture. Full of unbridled
energy, this little dynamo also embodies
the finest of both East and West.
A single day's trail will take you from the
past to the future, from exotic ethnic
enclave to efficient business centre, from
serene gardens to sleek skyscrapers.
Start your day with a hearty breakfast
amidst lush vegetation with Singapore's
very own orang utans. Then take a step
back in time as you enter a traditional
Chinese temple, Muslim mosque, Hindu
temple and Christian church - all in the
same neighbourhood. Return to the
present by strolling down Orchard Road,
where you can pick up the latest fashion
trends & entertaining local catch phrases
along the way.
With its friendly and welcoming people,
state-of-the-art infrastructure and new
things happening everyday, Singapore is a
holiday like no other.
