Flying with Vietnam Airlines, either from Hanoi’s Noi Bai Airport or Tan Son Nhat in Ho Chi Minh City, it takes less than two hours to reach Changi Airport – one of the world’s most beautiful and modern airports. Changi is a perfect mix of art, architecture, and nature, with its four terminals connected by the Jewel Changi – a ten-story shopping mall with stunning gardens: Sunflower Garden, Orchid Garden, and Butterfly Garden. This airport offers free wifi, movie theaters, and other public services. Changi Airport is also home to the world’s tallest artificial indoor waterfall.

Upon setting foot in central Singapore, travelers are often amazed. Architects have created grand and modern structures both overhead and underfoot in a beautiful clean and green environment. Some might say it’s enough just to look at the swirling arches of Marina Bay Sands, a complex of luxury hotels, high-end stores, bars, casinos, etc. With its iconic Merlion statue, Merlion Park is a free attraction with an impressive landmark set against the backdrop of a modern city’s skyscrapers on the shores of Marina Bay. Standing 8.6m high and weighing around 70 tons, the Merlion statue has the head of a lion and the body of a fish riding a wave. Closely linked with the country’s history, the statue is a symbol of the island nation of Singapore.

How could one miss Singapore’s parks? Fort Canning Park sits atop a high hill, from which travelers can enjoy panoramic views of the city. With thousands of plants in an area of some 18 hectares, Fort Canning Park offers an open and peaceful green space. If you wish to experience one of Asia’s famous amusement parks, be sure to visit Sentosa Island, which is about half a kilometer from Singapore’s southern coast. You can reach the island by bus, taxi, Express train, or cable car. The key tourist attraction here is Universal Studios, which always tops visitors lists of must-see places in Singapore.
