I
visited Singapore for the second time in a year. I reaffirmed that the city was
modern and clean.
Many
tourists gathered around Merlion in the Marina bay area. The huge Marina Bay
Sands Hotel stands in the opposite side of the bay. (see also the 2nd photo from the top)
Skyscrapers
such as the Marina Financial Center buildings are also around the bay.
You can enjoy the scene of the port as well as the marina bay from the higher floors of the skyscrapers.
Modern
shopping mall is also built in the area.
The
scene of Marina Bay Sands Garden is always impressive for me. It reminds me of
the scene of Science fiction movies. (see also the top photo).
Singapore
is a multicultural city. Chinese, Malay, Indian, Western and many other people
live here.
There
are temples of Islam, Hindu and Buddhism in the South Bridge street in the
central area.
Monuments
are made in the China town. They tell us the history of Chinese immigrants in
the past.
I saw people enjoying drinks and talks after business hours at the restaurants along Singapore River.
The statue of Sir Thomas Raffles, who contributed building the city as U.K.'s colony in the 19th century, stands at the side of the river.
