ABOUT SINGAPORE
Beyond the picture-perfect skyline and bustling city centre, there’s so much more for visitors to explore in Singapore.
Singapore is a city of not just one but 63 islands. There are 62 offshore islands namely Sentosa (the largest), Pulau Ubin, St John’s Island and the Sisters’ Islands.
Our Night Safari provides a nocturnal experience like no other in the city; it is also the world’s very first night zoo. Opened in 1994, the 35-hectare park features over 1,000 animals in their natural nighttime environments. Our first man-made waterfall was built at Jurong Bird Park in 1971, dropping from a height of 30 meters. You will also find the world’s tallest indoor waterfall at 35 meters at the Cloud Forest in Gardens by the Bay. This huge waterfall is the centrepiece of the misty conservatory, designed to house plant life from the tropical highlands. There is also an even taller indoor waterfall, at 40 meters, at Jewel Changi Airport.
Singapore Botanic Gardens was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage in 2015. The most popular attraction is the National Orchid Garden, which houses thousands of orchid species known as Very Important Plants (VIPs). Over 200 hybrid orchids in this garden have been affectionately named after visiting foreign dignitaries such as Nelson Mandela, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge as well as celebrities like actors Jackie Chan, Zhou Xun and Bae Yong Jun.
There are tons of off-the beaten-track neighbourhoods to explore and for those who are passionate about food, these are where lots of local delicacies by time-tested hawkers to award-winning homegrown chefs meet.
