Changi Airport to Singapore City
Singapore pulls us in with its glamorous city lights and bustling metropolitan culture, offering visitors a glimpse of not only a rich cultural diversity, but also the coming together of state-of-the-art infrastructure and the wonders of nature. For a pop reference, the recent box office hit Crazy, Rich Asians which stars Constance Wu and Henry Golding, have propelled Singapore to newfound heights of fame. Having painted that picture, here are the few top landmarks in the city that have become long-standing tourist hubs in Singapore:
Merlion Park
The cross between fiction and reality resides within the Merlion, which bears the head of a lion, the magnificent animal from which Singapore derived its name, and the body of a fish, which again is symbolic of Singapore’s historical beginnings as a humble fishing village.
The Merlion Park is most recognized for the imposing Merlion statue which overlooks the Singapore River. With the recent addition of the Merlion cubs, the park has further gained attraction as a tourist landmark.
Marina Bay Sands
The iconic towers of Marina Bay Sands that rise to cradle the impressive structure of the famous Skypark have long been a focal piece of Singapore’s cityscape. Offering guests and visitors in the city a chance to unwind in the peak of luxury, Marina Bay Sands is home to the Shoppes, which boasts a wide variety of designer and retail goods, as well as to several fine-dining restaurants and the ever-tantalizing casino. Indeed, for those who seek a good getaway, Marina Bay Sands is the very definition of indulgent leisure.
Pop Culture
Having mentioned Crazy, Rich Asians earlier on, one of the most classic scenes is where newcomer Rachel (played by Constance Wu) indulges in local food.
From the famous satay to seafood, Newton Food Centre makes itself known for its wide variety of palatable local cuisine. You’ll be licking your fingers after that last skewer has been cleared from the table!
