The Merlion: chanting creature like no other

Singapore and Sentosa Islands Getaways!

I believe you must have heard of The Merlion (part lion and part fish), perfectly reflects the charming blend of contradictions that is Singapore. Born of legend and lore, it is a presence so uniquely enchanting it's beyond words...

There are many attractions in Singapore: Zoo, Night Safari, Jurong Bird Park, Orchard Road, Chinatown, Little India, Geylang Serai, Kampong Glam, Sentosa Island, Kusu Island, Pulau Ubin, St John's Island, Bukkit Timah Nature Reserve, Mt Faber, East & West Coast Park, Bishan Park 1 & 2, Botanic Gardens, Orchid Garden, Chinese Garden, Fort Canning Park, Labrador Park, Pasir Ris Park, The Esplanade, One Fullerton, Downtown East, Science Centre, Discovery Centre, Snow City, Haw Par Villa, Holland Village, Changi Village, Boat Quay, Clark Quay, Robertson Quay and the list go on...

The attractions at the the beautiful island of Sentosa are Underwater World, Dolphin Lagoon, Magical Sentosa (Musical Fountain - Water, Light & Sound) Carlsberg Sky Tower, The Merlion & Merlion Walk, Cable Car Ride, Sentosa Luge & Skyride, The Flying Trapeze, Sentosa 4D Magix, Images of Singapore, Fort Siloso, Cinemania, Butterfly Park & Insect Kingdom, Imbiah Lookout, Sijori Wondergolf, many beaches and bars.

Orchard Road - Shopping!

Orchard Road Christmas Lightings (10 Dec 05)

From classic chic to rebel hip, the city becomes a virtual walk-in wardrobe dedicated to your 'inner-fashionista'. Singapore makes a statement of style, that's fashionably beyond words.

Singapore Food!

One of Singaporean favourite food - Fried Kway Teo

From scrumptious cuisine to pampering herbal spas, always pack an appetite for pleasure when heading for Singapore. It's a world of hedonistic temptations that are sinfully beyond words.
