The Significant Landmarks

If you plan to have a vacation or holiday in Singapore, I have some interesting tourism information about this country to share with you here. There are several significant landmarks in Singapore, the most remarkable hotel which consists of entertainment complex, luxurious casino, convention hall, restaurant, shopping plaza, and full - service amenities inside is a Marina Bay Sands Hotel - a luxury hotel in Singapore. You have to purchase a ticket if you want to go up the its sky park or privileged Observation Deck. Ticketing price is S$20 for adult and S$14 for children age 14 years old and above, and for senior citizen age 65 years old and above will receive S$3 discounted price or S$17. (Price is subject to change so please check an updated price on a hotel website prior to visit).

The Esplanade Theater or Durian Convention Center the unique architectural design building locates on Raffle Avenue which adjacent to Esplanade Shopping Center. And it's not far from the Merlion Statue where you can walk along the walking path from Durian to Merlion.

Around 3 - 5 kilometers distance from the Esplanade, you will find a Singapore Flyer where you can have superior experience with the panoramic view of Marina Bays on its wheel. I recommend you to book a tourist ticket on the website because you will get a discount price or promotional price. It's very convenient to reach the Singapore Flyer via MRT, Bus, Taxi or by boat via Duck Tour from Quay or Clark Quay. Then you can enjoy with a Journey Of Dream which locates in the same area.

Suntec Fountain of Wealth locates at the underground of Suntec Building or Suntec City where is a heart of Singapore. There is a believe that if you make a wish especially about wealthy or prosperity here, it will comes true in the near future. Such a belief comes from its symbolical ring in a palm of hands. In fact, the fountain surrounded by many skyscrapers at Suntec City. And it links to Fang Shui from the ancient Chinese belief. I did make a wish when I arrived there with friends of mine but my what I wish for seem not going to happen sooner or later, LOL!!

Merlion Statue - a Mascot of Singapore where adjacent to One Fullerton building. You can take MRT or SMRT to Marina Bay station, then walk along the walking path from the MRT or SMRT to Merlion conveniently. Merlion Statue is a symbol of Singapore. The mascot is half lion at its top body, and the bottom is a mermaid. The tourists can visit this small mascot at Fullerton and a new bigger mascot is in Sentosa.
