DESTINATION 6: SINGAPORE

In Singapore country, I would like to go to MERLION PARK SINGAPORE


Merlion Park
1) The statue measures 8.6 meters tall and weighs 70 tonnes, the Merlion statue was built from a mixture of cement Singapore craftsman, Lim Nang Seng Mr. Merlion statue, the second highest, less than two meters and weighs three tons, also built by Mr Lim. The body was made of cement fondue, the skin from porcelain plates and eyes from small red teacups. 
This place is one of the main attractions of Singapore, which must be visited by foreign tourists. There are several tourist attractions, is located near the Esplanade, Merlion Park, the Museum of Civilizations in Asia, the landing site of Raffles, Singapore Flyer, and later in the Marina Bay Sands.



2) Singapore might be the land of no spitting, but at least it's in the middle of a permanent summer. And while Singapore city itself is mostly shopping, shopping and a bit of eating between shopping, you can get away to Sentosa Island if you need a bit more of a holiday feel.
Sentosa Island, just a short hop across the harbor from Singapore itself, is home to all kinds of attractions, including Underwater World (and the overrated Dolphin Lagoon), restaurants, rides and resorts.
With yet another large resort on the way--set to open in 2010 and draw some 15 million visitors a year--another access route to the island is necessary. That means doubling the size of the current bridge joining Sentosa to the mainland. If they add any more lanes, it'll stop being an island.


At Underwater World (Dolphin Lagoon)
Underwater World Singapore is an incredible one-stop destination for the family – providing hours of fun, leisure and learning for all.
Be thrilled no end by unique encounters with marine animals. Feed gentle rays and sharks, defy gravity feeding fishes through openings at the side of the MAGIC-T tank, spot masters of disguise like the amazing mimic octopus, allow giant isopods to crawl all around you and even tunnel under the sea on an 83m long voyage to the colourful Reef and Ocean Colonies!
What's more, meet with our other residents of Dolphin Lagoon – the adorable fur seals as they perform alongside pink dolphins. They’ll gamely shake hands and pose for photos afterwards! Don't forget to catch our Meet-the-Dolphins and Fur Seals LIVE! performances at the following time slots too!

Sentosa Island Map
Location: Formerly known by the rather unattractive name of Pulau Belakang Mati (“The Island After Death” in Malay), Sentosa has been rebranded and resculpted into one big tourist attraction, popular amongst Singaporeans as a quick island getaway. Furthermore, the recent completion of Resorts World on the island – an enormous complex comprising a Universal Studios themepark, Singapore’s first casino, shopping malls and hotels  – is launching Singapore onto the world stage as a 1st-class travel destination. Imagine Sentosa as a miniature version of Singapore, except with more sun and beach, and you get the picture.
