Not only does it provide a postcard-perfect view of Singapore\u2019s iconic skyline featuring the three towers of the <strong>Marina Bay Sands Hotel<\/strong> to the East, but this is also where visitors get a photo with the <strong>Merlion Statue<\/strong> and its pup.<\/p>\n<p>The beloved Merlion statue depicts a lion-fish hybrid standing powerfully at the edge of the park\u2019s steps, spewing a fountain of water into the sea. Towering at 8.6 meters (28.2 feet), the fish half of the mythical creature represents Singapore\u2019s past as a fishing village and the lion\u2019s head is a proud nod to the country\u2019s original name, \u201cSingapura\u201d (a.k.a. Lion City). Directly behind the main Merlion is the baby Merlion statue, a smaller scale (2-meter\/6-foot tall) duplicate of its \u201cmom.\u201d This one is much easier to fit into a photo frame!<\/p>\n<p>Merlion Park is a great place to begin clients\u2019 introduction to Singapore. It gives an eyeful of what there is to see, and clients can hold up in one of the park\u2019s seaside caf\u00e9s or on the marina steps to figure out where to go from here.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nearby:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgallery.sg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>National Gallery Singapore<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;museum and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/rivercruise.com.sg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Singapore River Cruise <\/a><\/strong>launch<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Marina Bay Sands Hotel<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1614 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.skybirdtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/iStock-491056644-View-from-Merlion-Park-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"marina bay sands hotel-singapore\" width=\"840\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.skybirdtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/iStock-491056644-View-from-Merlion-Park-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.skybirdtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/iStock-491056644-View-from-Merlion-Park-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.skybirdtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/iStock-491056644-View-from-Merlion-Park-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.skybirdtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/iStock-491056644-View-from-Merlion-Park-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/blog.skybirdtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/iStock-491056644-View-from-Merlion-Park.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Located across the bay from Merlion Park, this accommodation is an attraction in itself.

Thanks to underground tunnels connecting the malls, shopping Orchard Road is enjoyable even when tropical rains put scheduled explorations of Singapore\u2019s gardens and nature reserves on hold for a few hours.<\/p>\n<p>While Orchard Road is a must-visit for shopaholics, <strong>Burgis Street Market<\/strong> is the place to go for bargains and experience the true shopping culture of Singapore. It is a super trendy hub of goods and colors that won\u2019t break the bank indulging in. <strong>Little India<\/strong> and <strong>China Town<\/strong> are also celebrated among Singapore\u2019s best places to shop on a budget. Little India vends cheap goods and is a place for delicious, low-cost dining. Little China preserves the culture of Singapore\u2019s Chinese heritage through its temples, craft shops, and souvenirs.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Sentosa Island<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Nearly capping the southern belly of the main island, Sentosa is described as an \u201c<strong>island playground<\/strong>.\u201d Getting there is quick and accessible via most modes of transportation. Sentosa is easily connected by the Sentosa Gateway, which can be driven across. The island can also be entered by walking the Sentosa Boardwalk (FREE) or taking a Cable Car (around $35), which delivers aerial views of the Singapore skyline.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from having the best beaches for swimming, Sentosa is where to find tons of activities perfect for active clients and those traveling with kids. Universal Studios theme park and Skyline Luge are the most popular attractions on \u201cAsia\u2019s favorite playground.\u201d A wax museum and a visit to the World War II memorial, <strong>Fort Siloso<\/strong>, offer mellow breaks between adrenalin-pumping fun.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Off-the-Beaten-Path in Singapore<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1613 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.skybirdtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/AdobeStock_296306854-1024x624.jpeg\" alt=\"boardwalk on pulau ubin island-singapore\" width=\"840\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.skybirdtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/AdobeStock_296306854-1024x624.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.skybirdtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/AdobeStock_296306854-300x183.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/blog.skybirdtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/AdobeStock_296306854-768x468.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.skybirdtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/AdobeStock_296306854-1200x731.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/blog.skybirdtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/AdobeStock_296306854.jpeg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Pulau Ubin Island<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>As we mentioned earlier in this blog, Pulau Ubin is Singapore\u2019s northeastern island that continues to maintain a relaxed and modest lifestyle. People come here to experience the Kampong life of Singapore\u2019s earliest settlers.<\/p>\n<p>At only 10 square kilometers (6.2 square miles), Pulau Ubin is very walkable. Biking is also a smooth way to get around the island or there is a public taxi service orchestrated by minivans that seat up to 10 people. If clients are physically capable, we highly recommend walking or biking the island to experience it at a level where one can appreciate the adventure and wildlife unique to this area.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Coney Island<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This small, 329-acre island is a perfect retreat to spend a few hours moving around in nature. People can head here for a bike ride on its trails spanning the entire island and relax on beach areas looking across the sea to Palau Ubin Island. Getting here is very easy with two bridge entrance points at the west and east ends of the island, and there are restroom facilities on site.<\/p>\n<p>The park is a top choice for adorable picnics in the grass or on the beach. Or clients can work up an appetite biking around Coney Island, then bike on over to the Punggol Settlement on the main island (north of the Coney Island West Entrance) for a satisfying meal.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>St. John\u2019s Island<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>South of the main island, beyond Sentosa, is St. John\u2019s Island. Its lush green beauty distracts one from its fascinating past as a <strong>quarantine station<\/strong> for cholera cases of the late 1800\u2019s to 1930\u2019s. Around 1975, it turned its reputation around to serve as a little island escape with great beaches, trails (there is a bike rental place on the island), and lagoons.<\/p>\n<p>At one point, St. John\u2019s was extremely popular for its <strong>cat population <\/strong>as many felines chose to make the island their home. Seeing cats parade the streets was guaranteed to visitors until an insane catnapping incident occurred in 2018 (seriously). The culprits behind the tragedy were never identified and people are still trying to wrap their heads around how exactly someone pulled the heist off. As of 2019, it is said that there are only 16 cats left on the island and not much else is known. Tell clients to keep their eyes peeled and treats handy.<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Hiking<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1607 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.skybirdtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/297224199-MacRitchie-Tree-Top-Walk-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"Macritchie tree top walk-suspension bridge-singapore\" width=\"840\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.skybirdtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/297224199-MacRitchie-Tree-Top-Walk-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.skybirdtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/297224199-MacRitchie-Tree-Top-Walk-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/blog.skybirdtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/297224199-MacRitchie-Tree-Top-Walk-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.skybirdtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/297224199-MacRitchie-Tree-Top-Walk-1200x800.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/blog.skybirdtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/297224199-MacRitchie-Tree-Top-Walk.jpeg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Singapore has many patches of tropical forests to discover, and taking a break from the skyscrapers to explore these areas exposes travelers to several species of animals and plant life.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thomson Nature Park<\/strong> occupies a large area of greenspace in central Singapore.
