The Spirit of Singapore

Modern Singapore is a city comprised of concrete, glass, freeways and shopping centers. Singapore features many diverse cultures and lifestyles from its waterfront to the Singapore River. In the bustling streets of Chinatown, fortune tellers, calligraphers and temple worshipers are still a part of everyday life. You’ll drive along the colonial heart of Singapore passing the Victoria Theater, the Victoria Memorial Hall, the Parliament House, the Supreme Court, City Hall, St. Andrew's Cathedral, and the Sultan Mosque. Visit the Sri Mariamman Hindu Temple, Singapore's oldest Hindu temple and observe a profusion of deities carved all over its walls. Its doors are adorned with bells and ceilings with splendid frescoes. You’ll have an opportunity to also visit the Singapore Botanic Garden where you can enjoy a stroll amidst exotic orchids in the new national orchid exhibit.
