The Astonishing Pulchritude of the Lion City of Asia
Who wouldn’t love travelling to different countries right? But what if? Your budget is insufficient for the place you’ve been dreaming to go to? In that case, I suggest you should sojourn Singapore! Singapore is an amazing city, it has a great location, it has a lot to offer, and to top it all, it is one of the most beautiful places on the planet.
Even flying there is a unique experience since Singapore Changi Airport has been recognized as the best one in the world. However, with just 20,000 pesos you can already visit its most amazing destinations. 8,500 pesos for the Ticket, the rest will be your Hotel room fair and your pocket money. Just be careful in spending money once you reach the country. On the other hand, the thing that I admire the most in Singapore aside from the amazing tourist spots is their mode of transportation. Indeed, it may sound artless, but I was astounded by it. Their buses, trains and taxis are all great! Buses only stop on bus stops and they arrive according to their schedule, same is true with taxis and trains.
The word discipline is very important in Singapore. Every shopping malls have trains beneath and underneath them. Everything is fast. Short traffics only occur because of stop lights and pedestrian lanes. Everything is just so amazing. In case you’d love to see the beauty of Singapore, here are the top five tourist spots that you should never skip!
1. Marina Bay Sands- it is an integrated resort fronting Marina Bay in Singapore. Prior to its opening in 2010, it was billed as the world's most expensive standalone casino property at S$8 billion, including the land cost. It has a mall, a museum, two large celebrity chef restaurants, two floating crystal pavilions, a skating rink and an Infinity pool located at the top of the world's largest public cantilevered platform, which overhangs the north tower by 67 m (220 ft).
2. Universal Studios, Sentosa – it is a theme park located within Resorts World Sentosa in Sentosa Island, Singapore. It has 7 themed zone namely; The Hollywood, New York, Sci-Fi City, The Ancient Egypt, The lost word, Far Far away, and the Madagascar.
3. Gardens by the bay – it is a nature park spanning 101 hectares of reclaimed land in central Singapore, adjacent to the Marina Reservoir. The park consists of three waterfront gardens: Bay South Garden, Bay East Garden and Bay Central Garden. Gardens by the Bay is part of a strategy by the Singapore government to transform Singapore from a "Garden City" to a "City in a Garden". The stated aim is to raise the quality of life by enhancing greenery and flora in the city.
4. The Merlion – it is a well-known marketing icon of Singapore depicted as a mythical creature with a lion's head and a body of a fish. It is widely used as a mascot and national personification of Singapore. You haven’t visited Singapore unless you went to this place!
5. Chinatown- Singapore’s historic Chinatown is a bustling mix of old and new, filled with traditional shops and markets as well as cool stores and cafes. Singapore may sound like a common Asian country, but you should never underestimate its unique beauty.
