Singapore Destination Guides > Country Overview
Singapore has been described as the "New Asia", an exciting city that
never sleeps and a visual holiday feast. It is here that east meets west, and
Asian heritage blends with modernity and sophistication.
There is so much to do in the Lion City that a short vacation will not allow
you enough time for everything. You will not believe how clean, green and well
organized this city is, English is widely spoken and the public transport services
are easy to use and efficient. It is a shoppers' paradise, and the nightlife
offers everything from a Broadway musicals, chic restaurants and trendy nightclubs
to dining off a banana leaf in Little India. Flora and fauna abound, together
with rich cultural offerings in the form of numerous dance performances and
festivals.
Experience the towering skyscrapers of the business district and the first
class hotels and air-conditioned shopping malls of Orchard Road, or visit China
Town where, in the crowded streets, fortune-tellers and temple worshippers are
still an integral part of everyday life.
