There are many beautiful places to visit, and things to do and see while visiting Singapore. Orchard Road is Singapore’s version of the Champs-Elysees. This road was originally a plantation for nutmeg and pepper, but is now home to funky and fine restaurants, fancy boutiques and ritzy shops, and some of the best hotels in Singapore.
The Singapore Art Museum is one to the country’s major tourist attractions. The museum was opened in 1996 and shows over 6000 pieces of Singaporean and Malaysian paintings and sculpture.
The Open Zoo of Singapore is another must see to experience place. The Open Zoo is literally, an open zoo. Animals are contained in natural enclosures, waterfalls, moats, and landscaping, rather than in cages and pens. Animals of various species co-exist much as they would in the wild. There are daily shows as well as many activities which involve the animals, such as morning breakfast or afternoon tea with the orangutan. A second animal sanctuary to consider on your visit to Singapore is the Jurong Bird Park. The world’s largest walk-in aviary, Waterfall Aviary houses birds from Africa and South America. There are exhibits of endangered species, nocturnal species and a range of birds from the tropical rainforests to the cold snow of the Arctic.
