Which places are a MUST visit in Singapore? Here is my list:
1. Marina Bay Sands Singapore
This hotel has opened in 2010 and is great for everyone who appreciate luxury. The complex includes three towers topped by a connecting 340-metre-long SkyPark. The view from the hotel is breathtaking as it is surrounded by the Gardens By the bay. Depending on the date of stay, it costs around 200-300 pounds / night to stay in this luxurious hotel. The Lotus shaped building by the side of the hotel, that you see on the picture is the ArtScience Museum.
2. Gardens By The Bay
This place is well known of the Gian Super Trees that are 25m and 50m tall with composed of actual living plants. You can enter this place for free and watch the light show and listening to the playing classical music. If you would like to go on the top of the trees and walk along the ‘ OCBC SkyWay’ there is a fee to enter. The gardens by the bay is a nature park spanning 101 hectares. You will not only find here giant trees, but the the magical sight of 334 large inflated egg-shaped lights floating on Dragonfly Lake too. These eggs are touch sensitive. When you touch them they change color and also make sound depending on the color. These eggs are called: Autonomous Resonating Life On The Water And Resonating Trees.
