What to Explore
Highlights in Singapore
Highlight 1
Gardens by the Bay
Spanning 101 hectares at the heart of Marina Bay, this futuristic garden is one of the most breathtaking green spaces in the world. The Supertree Grove — towering structures up to 50 meters tall adorned with over 200 plant species — transforms every evening into a spectacular light and music show called Garden Rhapsody. Inside, the Cloud Forest features a 35-meter indoor waterfall set in a misty tropical mountain atmosphere, while the Flower Dome holds the record as the world's largest glass greenhouse, showcasing flora from Mediterranean and semi-arid climates. The OCBC Skyway, a walkway suspended 22 meters above ground between two Supertrees, offers a unique bird's-eye view of the entire park.
Highlight 2
Marina Bay Sands
Designed by architect Moshe Safdie, Marina Bay Sands is a modern architectural masterpiece comprising three hotel towers connected by a ship-shaped SkyPark at 200 meters above ground. From the observation deck on the 86th floor, visitors enjoy a breathtaking 360-degree panorama of the Singapore skyline. At its base, the lotus-shaped ArtScience Museum hosts world-class art and science exhibitions, while Spectra — a free nightly light and water show — dazzles crowds along the waterfront promenade. The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands offers hundreds of luxury brands and international dining, making this entire district a complete destination in itself.
Highlight 3
Chinatown & Little India
Two heritage districts sitting side by side, yet offering completely different worlds to explore. In Chinatown, vibrant street markets, the grand Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, and legendary hawker centres create an unmistakably rich atmosphere. Cross into Little India and the air fills with the scent of spices along Campbell Lane, where ornate Hindu temples like Sri Veeramakaliamman stand adorned with colorful sculptures, and the famous 24-hour Mustafa Centre offers an endless shopping maze. Walking between these two districts captures Singapore at its most cosmopolitan — two ancient civilizations coexisting in harmony since the 19th century.
Highlight 4
Sentosa Island
This 500-hectare resort island is Singapore's largest entertainment destination, home to Universal Studios Singapore — Southeast Asia's first theme park featuring 24 rides and attractions across seven zones including Hollywood, Sci-Fi City, Ancient Egypt, and Far Far Away. Beyond Universal Studios, the S.E.A. Aquarium houses over 100,000 sea creatures from 50 habitats around the globe. White sandy beaches like Siloso and Palawan offer the perfect backdrop for relaxation, while Resorts World Sentosa delivers luxury hotels, fine dining restaurants, and a world-class casino. Sentosa is easily accessible via the Sentosa Express from VivoCity shopping mall.
