Singapore
Dynamic, cosmopolitan city chic and stylish Singapore is the perfect starting point for any Far East journey, and is a fascinating dynamic and exciting city, with a multi-cultural yet traditional at heart. First transformed from a sleepy British colonial backwater by Sir Stamford Raffles, it is now one of the world’s leading commercial and tourism cities. The island state has absorbed a diverse mix of ethnic influences, all of which now makes the city unique to explore. The colonial side is best experienced with a Singapore Sling at the Raffles Hotel, traditional and ornate temples can be visited in the colorful Chinatown, whilst freshly ground spices and colorful saris can be found in Little India. The cuisine matches this mix too, and fantastic local dishes are best enjoyed from hawker market stalls or alfresco alongside the Singapore River or on the East Coast. Getting around the city is quick and simple on the modern MRT trains, walking or by metered taxis. Shopping is second to none in this city, from designer clothing and high-tech gadgetry along Orchard Road to the ethnic street markets of Chinatown and Little India, Singapore will not disappoint. Singapore has many world-class attractions including the award winning Night Safari and Singapore Zoo, the spectacular Jurong Bird Park and the Underwater World sea life centre on nearby Sentosa Island (see page 82). The world’s highest observation wheel, the Singapore Flyer along Marina Bay is now open. Singapore’s ultra-modern Changi Airport is within easy reach of the city centre hotels.
