Holiday in Singapore Day 2

Posted by Unknown at 4:30 PM
Another great day was waiting for us in the second day of Singapore trip. After having the healthy homemade breakfast cooked by aunt, we started our schedules at 11am.

First, we went to Marina Bay Sands shopping mall. There were many luxury stores include Gucci, Prada, Chanel and so on. A canal runs through the length of the shops and “Sampan rides on the canal are available for guests and shoppers at the shopping mall. The Rain Oculus above the shopping mall canal was awesome!

Then we walked to Gardens by the Bay which was just next to Marina Bay Sands. Gardens by the Bay is an integral part of a strategy by the Singapore government to transform Singapore from a "Garden City" to a "City in a Garden". The stated aim is to raise the quality of life by enhancing greenery and flora in the city.

After that, we headed to the Esplanade. Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay is a waterside building located near the mouth of the Singapore River, purpose-built to be the centre for performing arts for the island nation of Singapore.

Do you see the Esplanade behind us??

Last place to visit in the evening was the Merlion Park near the Singapore City Hall. The Merlion is a mythical creature with the head of a lion and the body of a fish, used as a mascot and national personification of Singapore. Its name combines "mer" meaning the sea and "lion". It is a well-known tourist icon of Singapore.
