Day 03: Singapore Garden by The Bay

One of the top places to visit in Asia, Gardens by the Bay spans over 247 acres and is a highlight for any visitor to Singapore. Built at a cost of over one billion dollars, the gardens opened in June 2012 and have already been billed as an attraction you cannot miss. The gardens house two domes or conservatories, Cloud Forest and Flower Dome, which are climate-controlled indoor glasshouses. The Flower Dome (the larger of the two) replicates the cool-dry climate of the Mediterranean and South Africa, while the Cloud Forest replicates a cool-moist climate found in Tropical Mountain regions such as Mount Kinabalu on the island of Borneo and high elevation areas in South America. Within the gardens, there are also 18 impressive-looking Super trees (tree-like structures), which are vertical gardens up to 165 feet tall and perform a multitude of functions: Along with providing a bird’s eye view of the entire gardens, they also collect rainwater, generate solar power and act as vending ducts for the park’s conservatory. During our visit to Gardens by the Bay, we shall visit the Flower Dome and Cloud Forest, as well as an elevated walkway situated between two of the larger Super trees. Here we can enjoy an impressive aerial view of the gardens. The rest of the day is at your own leisure to explore Singapore! Accommodation at your hotel. [B]

Day 04: Singapore Cultures

Today Singapore has a diverse population of nearly 5 million people made up of Chinese, Malays, Indians, Caucasians and Eurasians and Asians of different origins, which is in line with the nation’s history as a crossroads for various ethnic and racial groups. Experience the various cultures come alive before your very eyes as you explore the nooks and crannies of each ethnic heritage enclave in the city. At Kampong Glam, admire the quiet majesty of the Sultan’s Mosque with its unmistakable golden dome, explore colorful food eateries, and browse through old-fashioned shops selling batiks, carpets, rattan basket-ware and exotic perfumes. Take a stroll along Arab Street, which was well known as a textile haven in the 1950s and 1960s. You’ll find bales of silk, batik, lace, organza and other materials, where customization and tailoring services are also available. Bring home a ready-made traditional or modern Malay costume or browse through the endless variety of traditional games such as the Congkak (a game involving marbles and a wooden board), carpets, antiques and rattan handicrafts such as wicker baskets to spruce up your home. Travel to the heart of Chinatown and experience the old and the new, tradition and modernity in the rows of streets and traditional shop houses lovingly restored into tempting eateries, teahouses and shops selling Oriental arts, crafts and souvenirs as well as traditional Chinese medicinal herbs. Visit the Sri Mariamman Temple – this stunning Hindu temple, the oldest and perhaps the most active in the city, built in 1827 and dedicated to the goddess Sri Mariamman, known to help heal people from diseases. Little India completes the cultural kaleidoscope with its bustling streets showcasing aromatic and exotic spices, colorful flower-garland shops, vegetable vendors and busy curry houses. The tour will end at Tekka Center, part wet market, part food center and part shopping mall, where several ethnic communities converge to create a multicultural shopping fiesta.
