It has been stated, and not entirely humorously oriented, that eating is the national pastime in Singapore. This is not intended to indicate that the city-state is actually a collection of couch potatoes. That is definitely not the case. Instead it is reflective of the passion for great cuisine that is found throughout the population. Fabulous food from around the world can be found in Singapore and is generally included in most activities and events. Even the outdoor movie theatre, Starlight Cinema, suggest you bring a picnic meal and enjoy some good food while watching a great film. Not only is this an example of the importance of food to the culture, but it also serves to demonstrate one of the top five things to do while visiting Singapore. The Starlight Cinema is located in Fort Canning Park and watching an evening film there is a fabulous way to spend your evening. And while this won’t be counted as one of the five, exploring all of the offerings at Fort Canning is highly recommended when visiting Singapore.
Visiting the Singapore Botanic Gardens is another great way to spend your time. These beautiful gardens features swaths of tropical rain forests among the occasional practitioner of tai chi. In addition, they are open well into the evening and viewing all of the plants and flowers at night can be a great experience. Another recommended activity is taking a trip to Singapore’s Chinatown. Great food, as should be expected, shopping and cultural heritage attractions are main features of this part of the city. The Singapore Flyer is one of those must needs visit attractions and has been described as the city’s version of London’s Eye. It is currently the world’s largest observation wheel and provides incredible views of the city and beyond. Seeing one of the city’s productions of Cantonese Opera is another strongly suggested experience that tourists should explore while visiting Singapore. There are plenty of quality companies that have productions throughout the year. This is an experience that might change the way you view live performance.
