Singapore Information
Singapore is an island-state in Southeast
Asia, connected by bridges to Malaysia.
Founded as a British trading colony in 1819,
since independence it has become one of the
world's most prosperous countries, sporting
the world's busiest port. Combining the skyscrapers
and subways of a modern, affluent city with
a medley of Chinese, Indian and Malay influences
and a lush tropical climate, with tasty food,
good shopping and a happening, vibrant nightlife
scene, this Garden City makes a great stopover
or springboard into the region.
Singapore is a rather small country
on a small island, but with over four million
people it's a fairly crowded city. The center
of the city — consisting roughly of Orchard,
the Riverside and a chunk of Chinatown —
is known in acronym-loving Singapore as the
CBD (Central Business District).
-
Balestier, Newton,
Novena and Toa Payoh — Budget accommodations
and Burmese temples within striking distance
of the center.
-
Bugis and Kampong Glam
— Bugis and Kampong Glam are Singapore's
old Malay district, now largely taken over
by mall-shopping, although Arab Street in
the Kampong Glam area is well worth a visit
for its eclectic mix of unique shops and
restaurants.
-
Chinatown —
The area originally designated for Chinese
settlement by Stamford Raffles.
-
East Coast —
The largely residential eastern part of
the island contains Changi Airport and many
famous eateries. Katong is located in the
East Coast and is famous for its Peranakan
food, such as laksa. Joo Chiat has some
well-restored Peranakan houses with characteristic
intricate architecture.
-
Little India —
A piece of India to the north of the city
core.
-
North and West —
The northern and western parts of the island,
also known as Woodlands and Jurong respectively,
form Singapore's residential and industrial
hinterlands.
-
Orchard Road —
Miles and miles of shopping malls
-
Riverside —
Museums, statues and theaters, not to mention
restaurants, bars and clubs
-
Sentosa — A
separate island developed into a resort,
Sentosa is the closest that Singapore gets
to Disneyland.
