Where Asian mult-culturism rules: Singapore as a tour destination!
A cosmopolitan Island country with a stimulating mix of Chinese, Malay and Indian cultures, Singapore as a tour destination has immense scope for fun, adventure, shopping, culinary treats and romantic heart-beat moments galore. For the global tourist on the look out for great bargains, international shopping experiences, world-class products, exciting nightlife, relaxation and spa-centered rejuvenation or simply a great holiday destination, Singapore is where the fun is! What sets Singapore apart: the essence of Singapore as a tour destination. Varied cultural offerings and veneration for all religions, evident in the importance the state gives to freedom of spiritual belief with its plentiful churches, temples and Buddhist monasteries and prayer halls makes up the essence of truly multicultural and cosmopolitan Singapore city. A rich and diverse style of architecture as depicted in Singapore's numerous museums, houses, shopping complexes and extraordinary office buildings portray the city's willingness to imbibe the best of both worlds: the West and the East effectively and artistically. Things to do while visiting Singapore as a tour destination:
A modern, metropolitan city that has a vibrant mix of old and new, contemporary and traditional establishments that co-exist in comfortable levels for welcoming global tourists is evident in the island city's essential hospitality flavor even today: local restaurants, zoos, native food markets and eclectic social diversities are as much the crowd-pullers to Singapore as a tour destination as other aspects of fine living, such as Chijmes, a popular dining, shopping and entertainment site, Dalhousie Obelisk, at Empress Place, Istana- the official residence of the President of Singapore and Lau Pa Sat. Merlion, the lion head with a fish body resting on a crest of waves is Singapore's national emblem; Parliament House and the Elephant Statue, Raffles Hotel, one of the world's last great 19th century hotels, Sun Yat Sen Nanyang Memorial Hall, Supreme Court and City Hall are other popular postcard images that make up the rest of Singapore's landmarks!
