SIGHTS
Singapore offers many beautiful sights and photographic opportunities for the travellers. Begin your journey with a bumboat ride along the Singapore river and admire the old architecture building of yesterday years to the robust skyline and cityscrape. The ride will bring you to the icon of Singapore, The Merlion at the mouth of the river and get off at the Esplanade, Theatres on the Bay where you can view seasonal worldclass and local performance. It is a magnificent piece of architexture. The locals call it ' Durian' because it resembles the exterior of the spiky tropical fruit. The fruit durian, has a strong aroma which not everyone will like. Try it... either you will love it or hate it. You will find it along the streets at Bugis Village.
For a bird's eye view, make a reservation with Equinox restaurant at Swissotel hotel, but be warned that men can not wear sandals. The restaurant is located on the highest floor and enjoy English afterrnoon tea with a panaroma view.
Singapore is a multi-national country, different ethnic groups of people like Chinese, Muslim , Indian and others living in harmony under one roof . This is quite an unusual sight for visitors.
It will be a travel experience to last a lifetime and you will return for more.
