Merlion Park 鱼尾狮公园
Address: One Fullerton, Singapore
Singapore's Merlion is just what it sounds like—the figure of a
mythical creature that has the head of a lion and the body and tail
of a fish. The Merlion represents the city's humble start as a
fishing village combined with its traditional Malay name Singapura,
"lion city."
The structure, which was relocated to Merlion Park in 2002, where it
can overlook Marina Bay, weighs 70 tonnes and stands at 8.6 meters
tall, spouting water from its mouth in a fountain.
The "Merlion Cub" sits nearby, only two meters tall but a hefty
three tonnes, and there are five additional official Merlion statues
throughout the city. Merlion Park is an ideal spot for photo-ops,
whether you are taking a selfie in front of the iconic creature or
capturing the magnificent views from the park as it looks out over
the bay.

Marina Bay Sands海滨湾
Address: 10 Bayfront Avenue, Singapore
The opulent Marina Bay Sands resort complex includes a high-end
luxury hotel, a mall with a canal running through it, the ArtScience
Museum, and the Marina Bay Sands Skypark Observation Deck—a vantage
point for taking in the entire city. The Skypark's viewing deck and
infinity pool are found in the ship (yes, ship) that tops the hotel.
Only hotel guests are allowed to use the infinity pool, but anyone
can visit the observation deck.
From the Skypark, you can see the innovative double helix bridge,
the port, the Gardens by the Bay (101 hectares of land converted
into waterfront gardens), and the impressive skyline.
While up there on top of the city, guests can grab a snack or a
coffee at the rooftop restaurant or pick up some keepsakes from the
souvenir stand. You can purchase a photo of yourself green-screened
in front of the massive hotel as it's all lit up at night, but the
cost is steep at 50 Singapore dollars—better to ask a fellow tourist
to snap a photo of you if possible. The elegant opulence of the
Marina Bay Sands exemplifies Singapore's style and status as a major
international city in Southeast Asia.

Gardens by the Bay 海滨花园
Address: 18 Marina Gardens Drive, Singapore
Once you've glimpsed this beautifully designed green space (from the
top of the Marina Bay Sands, perhaps) you won't be able to stay
away. Wander through the Bay East Garden, perfect for enjoying the
vibrant plant life and escaping the city bustle for a moment.
You won't want to miss Supertree Grove, where you'll find a cluster
of the iconic, futuristic structures designed to perform
environmentally sustainable functions. Then, head to the Cloud
Forest Dome to see the world's tallest indoor waterfall and learn a
bit about biodiversity. Check the website for ticket sale prices and
tour times.

Singapore Flyer 新加坡摩天轮
Address: 30 Raffles Ave, Singapore
If the observation deck at the Marina Bay Sands doesn't quite do it
for you, try taking in high tea while looking out over the city from
the Singapore Flyer, the world's largest giant observation wheel.
Choose from several different packages that allow you to be served
and pampered while enjoying a view that encompasses not only the
Singapore skyline but as far away as the Spice Islands of Indonesia
and Malaysia's Straits of Johor.
There are several different ticket packages to choose from, and each
includes access to the multimedia Journey of Dreams exhibit, which
delves into Singapore's history and the creation of the Singapore
Flyer.
Flights last 30 minutes and run from early morning until late at
night, so you can choose which view of the city you want to enjoy:
the beginning of another bustling day or when Singapore is aglow
after dark.

Chinatown 唐人街
If you've ever visited China, Singapore's Chinatown neighborhood
will bring you right back here. From the small mom-and-pop stores
and authentic Chinese food to the bright red lanterns, there's
excitement and hustle in this district. You can visit the Chinese
Heritage Centre and see the impressive and beautiful Sri Mariamman
Hindu temple.
Another temple worth seeing is the Buddha Tooth Relic temple. If
you're up early enough (think 4am), you can hear the morning drum
ceremony. Or you can just check out the closing ceremony in the
evening after viewing the relic.
Heritage markers have been installed throughout the neighborhood in
English, Japanese, and simplified Chinese, so visitors can better
understand the significance of the area. But this neighborhood is
not just a testament to the influence of the Chinese throughout
Singapore's past. This is a progressive neighborhood (with free
Wi-Fi for all), and it's home to the trendy Ann Siang Hill area,
where the quaint bistros and upscale boutiques could be at home in
any Western city.

Sentosa Island 圣淘沙
Singapore isn't exactly known as a beach destination, but if you're
really craving some fun in the sun, Sentosa Island is the place to
find it. Siloso Beach is a good spot for getting in beach time, and
visitors can play volleyball on free courts or go kayaking and
skimboarding. There are several other beach attractions as well,
plus an Underwater World aquarium, where you can swim with dolphins.
A must-see on Sentosa Island is the Merlion, Singapore's famous
statue that has the head of a lion and the body of a fish. You can
take an escalator to the top of the statue and enjoy panoramic views
of the surrounding area. Adventurous types will want to check out
The Flying Trapeze and the SeaBreeze Water-Sports @ Wave House,
where you can try your hand at flying strapped to a water-propelled
jet pack.

in the world.” That status becomes even more cemented on April 17,
when it will officially open a dazzling presecurity attraction known
as Jewel. Inside is a lush four-story tiered garden, more than 280
