Why it’s time to explore Singapore

Being a top-notch island city-state, the Lion City of Singapore is a traveller’s dream come true. Located at the southernmost corner of the Malay Peninsula, Singapore is where you may give your tastebuds a memorable experience, explore the world’s tallest indoor waterfall and shop within dazzling malls which double as lifestyle stores, catering to various needs and likes. Here are the 3 main reasons as to why you must head over.

Singapore is where epic adventures and new possibilities meet

Why not start off your travels in the Lion City on a high and onboard the Singapore Flyer? Dubbed the biggest observation wheel in Asia, the 541-foot-tall Singapore Flyer offers jaw-dropping views of the city-state and all it stands for that will certainly have you craving for more. Of similar appeal, albeit at a much faster pace is to take a leap of faith from the 154-foot-tall AJ Hackett Sentosa Bungy Tower that will have you embracing the daredevil in you within a matter of seconds. Thereafter, beeline for Singapore’s street circuit where you can get behind the wheel of your favourite supercar and feel the adrenaline rush of what a Formula 1 driver experiences as part of the popular Ultimate Drive experience. Also, be sure to reserve time for the MacRitchie Reservoir Park which is emblematic of the greener side to Singapore. Once inside, you may set about on an invigorating hiking outing that will ensure you witness a host of wild animals in the calibre of long-tailed macaques and flying lemurs. Before you leave, head for the Park’s TreeTop Walk which is a suspension bridge extending for 820 feet through the mentioned attraction’s forest canopy that will have you in prime position to delight in a bird’s eye view of the surrounding vegetation and rivers.

Life unfolds at its own pace

When in Singapore, one’s sense for adventure and exploration will know no limits with nighttime excursions of Singapore’s stunning skyscraper forest, one such example that will have you out and about in a jiffy. The vibrant neighbourhoods that comprise the city-state will leave you overwhelmed at almost every turn and street corner. Regions in the likes of Kampong Glam, Little India and Joo Chiat are havens of history, art and architecture where countless opportunities to strike that all-important holiday pose will be readily available. The multi-ethnic nature of Singapore makes its presence felt across its food culture as well with its famed hawker centres renowned for serving piping hot noodle-based broths and appetising seafood cuisine prepared to tried and tested recipes. For example, Maxwell Food Centre and Chinatown Complex Food Centre would act as your ‘go to’ points for household names such as Hokkien Prawn Mee and Singapore-style Chicken Rice. In fact, if looking for a long stay hotel Singapore has to offer that will have you within convenient reach of Chinatown, then factor in the possibility of reserving your stay with KeSa House by The Unlimited Collection.

Locals are sources of inspiration and great learning

Embark on a thrilling and deeply insightful nature walk with wildlife consultant and naturalist, Subaraj Rajathurai and allow yourself to learn of every nitty-gritty there is to the wilds of Pulau Ubin including the Chek Jawa Wetlands. Additionally, look forward to signing up for a Tribe Disappearing Trades Tour where for a good 4 to 5 hours, patrons will have a once in a lifetime opportunity to unearth and celebrate Singapore’s distinct artisanal heritage.
