Many locals would agree that eating is a national pastime of
Singapore. From hawker centres to fine dining, from Shanghainese to
Mexican cuisines, we are spoilt for choice.
Home to a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Singapore Botanic Gardens,
Singapore has pockets of green spaces such as neighbourhood parks,
reservoir parks and nature reserves for city-dwellers to take a
breather. Rain trees and bougainvillaeas are common sights along
Singapore roads, together with rooftop and vertical greenery.
Singapore is home to many world-class attractions and iconic places
of interests such as Iconic landmarks. Vibrant neighbourhoods.
Heritage architecture. Theme Parks. Shopping streets. There is
something for everyone to play and see!
The everyday sounds form the ambient soundscape for Singapore. Not
forgetting our local musicians and national songs that resonate with
the people of Singapore.
It’s the little things that make us, us! From spotting otters in the
city, to queuing for food and freebies, discover the quirky side of
this sunny island!
Singapore is a small island-city state located in Southeast Asia at
the southern end of the Malay Peninsula, between Malaysia and
Indonesia. So small, we often only see a little red dot on the world
map.
