Singapore Travel OverviewSingapore is an island city located at the tip of Peninsula Malaysia. It is well-known for being one of the richest; most well organised countries in the world. Singapore is an island with '1000 shopping malls' or so they say. Despite the hot climate; it is a tropical paradise for most tourists. This great diversity of lifestyles; cultures and religions thrives within the framework of a regulated society. Singapore's 'FINE' city reputation is well-earned; and in fact; many will admire at once the clean; modern metropolis. Surrounded by artificially 'ordered' parks; its tall housing projects are populated by almost 4 million people - whose smiling native charms often belie underlying tensions of the way the island is progressing after 30 years of development. Highlights of Singapore include some of the ethnic parts of town: Arab street; Chinatown; Colonial District; Orchard road and Little India. South of Singapore are a few beautiful islands that are well worth visiting. The most visited is Sentosa island. It is a playground for people of all ages. See the Sentosa island section for more information. Nothing here; really.... However; if you wish to go here; do not bring any gum as they have very strict rules. Popular Destinations |
