One great thing about Singapore is that you are always close to wildlife. The city itself has some top-class natural attractions apart from those sky-high capers and towers.
Here are a few words on five special places to see in this island-nation:
Botanical Garden: Botanical Garden is many acres of Greenland which can be explored preferably during the early part of the day. It is home to many colorful birds and also encapsulates a segment of the country’s rainforest. Most Singapore honeymoon packages will include this attraction. It has always managed to lend a soothing start to a tourist’s day.
Beaches of Sentosa: Sentosa Island is towards the outskirts of the main city and gives a reprieve from the noisy hustle and bustle. For rest and relaxation, the island’s beaches are top recommendation. However, it would be unwise to expect a bit too much out of them. These beaches are just okay-ish and not the best which Singapore has to offer.
Universal Studios: If the previous line made you lose some respect for this country, this paragraph will earn that back. Beaches may not be the best offering by Singapore but the Universal Studios (which sits not very far from the coastline) more than makes up for them. It reprises a virtual frame of Hollywood in an incredibly breathtaking manner. You cannot help but stare open-mouthed at the thrilling things they have created at this site. And it is huge, so do keep a whole day at hand. To beat the queues, you may look for your honeymoon packages during off season (but then, is there any off season in Singapore). It is also a must-visit attraction for kids. So, do bring your entire litter here.
Jurong Bird Park: Wildlife breathes in and out of this country. Jurong Bird Park is just another testimonial of the naturalness of this island. It is a bird sanctuary but one which looks more like an upgraded zoo since the birds do not flutter away and you are not troubled by dense woods. The variety of birds is sheer joy! Perhaps, the best bit about this place is the way it is managed and maintained.
Chinatown: Chinatown is where you do all your shopping and binging (for cheap). The historic-cum-cultural center of Chinese community will help you feast your eyes on houses with curved roofs, just the way the Chinese prefer. Street food is thumb-licking and it is said that you can survive a whole day at this place with just a couple of dollars in your pocket.
