Singapore Travel Destinations

Singapore is an island off the southern tip of Malaysia, linked to it by a causeway. It evolved from a sleepy fishing village in the early 1900s to become one of Asia's economic leaders. Singapore is a fascinating fusion of eastern and western sophistication. Being at the crossroads of ancient and present day trading routes, Singapore has, over the centuries, drawn a broad mix of humanity to its shores. It is well-known for being one of the richest, most well organized, efficient countries in the world with a very high standard of living and an excellent skyline by the water. Singapore is an island with "1000 shopping malls" or so they say. Despite the hot climate, it is a tropical paradise for most tourists. This great diversity of lifestyles, cultures and religions thrives within the framework of a regulated society.

Singaporeans are Chinese while the two largest ethnic minority groups are Malay and Indian. Population density is staggering as urbanization stands at a full 100%. Singapore has four official languages: Chinese, Malay, Tamil, and English. Education is a priority and no doubt has had significant impact on the economic success of the nation. The people of Singapore enjoy one of the highest standards of living in the Asia Pacific region. More than a remarkable seaport, Singapore is a city of finance and trade where many multinational corporations maintain regional headquarters. For the visitor to Singapore, this is revealed in a bustling city of skyscrapers towering over the facades of colonial landmarks. Efficient rapid transit whisks you to any one of dozens of locales noted for sightseeing, shopping, or entertainment. Various riverboat excursions ply the waters of the Singapore River where one can relax and absorb the fascinating city that grew up along its banks.
