in the world. With over 80 airlines serving more than
180 cities in over 50 countries, Changi airport has

The world's first wildlife park built for visits at night, the Night Safari is not like any ordinary zoo illuminated by the night or a modern version of nocturnal houses found in many zoos around the globe.
Nestled in 40 hectares of lush secondary forest, the Night Safari offers guests the unique experience of exploring wildlife in a tropical jungle at night. Through the use of subtle lighting technique, guests are able to view over 1,000 nocturnal animals of 100 species in vast naturalistic habitats.
Sentosa Island is one of the major
tourist attractions in Singapore. It is an island set aside
for tourism and whole lots of fun. There are many things which
can be done at Sentosa, such as visits to the Underwater World,
Wax Museum and historic sites like Fort Siloso. There are
two ways in which you can get access to the island, by cable
car or by land (coach or taxi). The former is more popular
because it nets you a birds' eye view of the island.
