This pictorial tribute takes its readers on a tour of Singapore's contrasting attractions. It attempts to capture Singapore's charm - the people, the tangible sense of history, amazing architecture, outstanding markets and exotic festivals.
The island of Singapore forms the full-stop at the southernmost tip of Peninsular Malaysia, which borders it to the north, while the Indonesian archipelago extends to its south across the Straits of Singapore. Unlike its close neighbours, Singapore is shielded in the tempestuous monsoon season by impressive mountain ranges on both sides. A tropical climate - high temperatures and humidity - is tempered by cool breezes, making this exotic destination a firm favourite with visitors from all over the world. This pictorial tribute takes its readers on a fascinating tour of Singapore's contrasting attractions, from high-tech chrome-and-glass edifices reflected in the calm lakes that surround ancient Chinese pavilions and temples, to the hustle and bustle of street life and the prevailing serenity found in the city's serene parks and open spaces. Evocative text and beautiful images capture Singapore's charm - the people, the tangible sense of history, amazing architecture, outstanding markets, and exotic festivals. Whether it impresses or bewilders, Singapore ensures the holiday of a lifetime and memories that will endure for ever.
