Singapore is the smallest city or country in the South East Asia except the Timor Leste (new country separated from Indonesia). There are many places which you can visit in Singapore. The travel site at yahoo give you the explanation about what place that will be the great destination for the tourists.
Colonial Core
It is Singapore’s architectural gold mine. Let yourself be whisked back in time to 1819, when Sir Stamford Raffles first stepped ashore and the Union Jack was raised. Still exuding a strong air of colonialism are well restored government buildings, cathedrals and churches, and the Singapore Cricket Club, once a sports centre for the British colonists. Esplanade Park makes for a pleasant stroll, while learning about the martyrs and heroes, for whom the various memorials in the park have been built. The city’s finest museums also lie nestled in and around the district including the Singapore Art Museum, Asian Civilizations Museum, Singapore Philatelic Museum and Singapore History
Museum. Just at the eastern outskirts of the colonial core stands the renowned Raffles Hotel. A modest museum on the third floor retells its legend.
Singapore River
This is the very origin of Singapore’s prosperity, with the Merlion (the city’s tourism icon) steadfastly standing guard at the mouth of the river. Quaint bridges span the river, ranging from the elegant Anderson Bridge to the simple Ord Bridge. Boat Quay, an excellent reincarnation of Peranakan shop houses and godowns, is a pleasant place to dine alfresco, with its long slew of chic cafes, restaurants and pubs. Further upstream is Clarke Quay, yet another series of restored shophouses, where a carnival atmosphere prevails at the fall of dusk. Come Sunday, a flea market thrives here, displaying an appealing range of old treasures, curios and collectibles. Other dining and entertainment attractions along the river include the Riverside Point, Riverside Village and Robertson Quay at the uppermost end.
Financial District-Home to the towering skyscrapers that lend Singapore its distinctive skyline. Over the years, building after building has battled to be the tallest; today, three have tied for the honors-OUB Building, UOB Building and Republic Plaza, all standing at the maximum permissible height of 280 meters. At one end near the mouth of the Singapore River is The Fullerton Singapore, a hotel built in the classical architecture that once dominated the district. Further south is Clifford Pier, built in 1931 and is today the embarkation point for cruises to neighboring islands. Another piece of old Singapore is the Lau Pa Sat Festival Market, a complete reconstruction of the first municipal market of 1894 that has been transformed into a thriving food centre-the perfect venue for relishing Asian cuisines at rock-bottom prices.
Orchard Road- Shop till you drop! Join the jostling crowds and do what young and trendy Singaporeans do best-shop, catwalk and flaunt their latest buys. Swanky malls and charming boutiques dot Singapore’s prime shopping belt from end to end, while chic alfresco eateries make great spots for watching the fashion parade go by. Top stops include local department stores Robinsons and Tangs (which is a landmark in itself with the distinctive pagoda-roofed tower of the Singapore Marriott just above it), and mammoth shopping arcade Ngee Ann City for its posh boutiques and the anchor tenant, Takashimaya. Christmastime along Orchard Road is always a colorful spectacle of bright lights and exuberant decorations.
Chinatown
Once a victim of redevelopment, this ethnic enclave still holds pockets of old, dilapidated buildings where Singaporeans continue to practice age-old trades. Others have been restored to their former state, like the series of shop houses at the Tanjong Pagar Conservation Area. For an authentic taste of Chinese culture, try visiting a teahouse and the Thong Chai Medical Institute, then take a peek into a typical middle-class Chinese home in the 1920s at the Chinaman Scholar’s Gallery. Crowded streets throb, especially just before Chinese New Year, when Chinese opera and lion dances add to the festivity. Do not forget to visit the eclectic mix of mosques and temples while you are here, the serene Nagore Durgha Shrine, the elaborate Sri Mariamman Temple and the grand Thian Hock Keng Temple are just a few.
Arab Street
With its top draw being the Sultan Mosque, this is the repository of culture for Singapore’s Muslim community. Muslim restaurants and coffee shops line the streets, serving up mostly traditional Indian and Malay fare. During the holy month of Ramadan, even more food stalls are set up in preparation for breaking fast at dusk. Shopping here is a delight and a welcomed change from the glitzy malls of Orchard Road, with stores selling Malay, Indonesian and Middle Eastern merchandise-lots of textiles, carpets, antiques, jeweler, artifacts, basket wares and alcohol-free perfumes. Do not forget to drop by Istana Kampung Glam and take a stroll around Singapore’s oldest Malay cemetery.
Little India
A riot of color, particularly on Sundays and during major Hindu festivals, like Thaipusam and Deepavali. Awash with scents and sights of the Indian subcontinent, this is where Indian men and sari-clad women abound, and everything needed by Indian households is found. Traces of Hinduism are seen everywhere, from the embellished Veeramukaliamman Temple to pictures of Hindu deities. Mustafa Centre sells just about anything you need under one roof and is a haven for bargain hunters.
Those above are the interesting place to be visited in Singapore. You should go there if you have enough money. Minimum you need to spend US$500 to get entertained in Singapore. I am interested so much with those destinations.
Before going to that place, I have problem with the nose in my face. It is too deep inside and really annoying for overall of my performance. I think I need to get rhinoplasty nose surgery for help to solve the nose problem. The surgery will restore the beauty in my face. Many people don’t agree about surgery but I think it is no problem as long as it is handled by the expert doctor in the beauty surgery field. It is good for people especially women who need beauty.
