Exploring Singapore’s Landmarks
The Marina Bay Sands is one of the iconic features of the urban Singapore landscape and the first sight for the travellers! The resort has three 57-story towers that are set back from the waterfront. The towers are connected by a public pedestrian thoroughfare at ground level and a 2.5 acre garden skypark on the 57th floor with restaurants and gardens. The resort also has a shopping mall, museum, theatres, casino, golf course, and nightclub.
You can then get off at Merlion Park and take a picture with Singapore’s iconic lion and fish statue. The statue of the merlion is a symbolic figure of Singapore back in the days when the country was a fishing village.
A visit to the city of Singapore will never be completed without visiting its Chinatown. Go into the heart of Chinatown and feast your eyes with the view of the beautiful lanterns and traditional shophouses. Shopping opportunities are not scarce here in Chinatown, be sure to grab one of the freshly picked goodies over the counter when you are here. Do pay a visit to two iconic buildings in Chinatown, namely the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and the Chinatown Heritage Centre while you are here.
You will then travel to one of the most iconic representations of ethnic quarters in Singapore, Little India. Enjoy the variety of colours, and the cultural vibe that Little India has to offer. Opportunities for shopping are always present especially when you are strolling through the shops that line the streets that sell spices, traditional shawls and of course, many exotic Indian sweets. You can also pay a visit to the Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple here.
The bus will then pass by Clarke Quay, a historical riverside quay that has been transformed into an iconic landmark to Singapore. Visit the Quay view, cross the river and enjoy the full view of the colourful buildings, bustling restaurants and the sparkling waters of the river of Singapore.
The next destination is for your inner shopaholic – Orchard Road, Singapore’s premier shopping street. The street is lined with many glimmering shopfronts, patterned by hordes of bustling shoppers. Lastly, catch a quick glimpse of the world’s largest observation wheel, the Singapore Flyer.
