Situated along the Singapore River and in close proximity to Fort Canning Hill, the economic lifeline and seat of government in colonial Singapore respectively, the early immigrants to Singapore settled in River Valley to pursue economic prosperity and a comfortable life. This inevitably resulted in the establishment of prominent landmarks dotted around the precinct, from old bungalows and shophouses to schools and religious sites.
From national monuments such as Chesed-El Synagogue and Sri Thendayuthapani Temple to religious landmarks including Hong San See and Church of Sacred Heart, we will trace the story of Singapore's early communities and their contribution to the eeconomic and social development of the nation from its time as a British colony to post-independence.
This tour also visits 38 Oxley Road, where founding father Lee Kuan Yew and his team of inspirational leaders meet and huddle at its basement.

Be sure to take the first small train, otherwise it will be too dark and the animals can&#39;t see clearly. Those who have not been there can experience it, which is more novel. Finally, you can watch a show at the door, and you can go back to the house. It is also very convenient to take the subway.

Skyline Luge Singapore

Cable car

Take a taxi to the mountain, go directly to the luge, remember to confirm the scheduled time (I missed it, but Miss Sister changed the time), if you slide down the ticket many times and then take the cable car to slide, overall it is worth playing, the fare is not very expensive, When you slide down, the speed is very cool. It is recommended to slide down and buy a cup of coconut. After drinking, take the cable car to slide. If you leave, take the cable car to the mountain to take a taxi.

Sentosa

Natural scenery

Sentosa Island is very good, the theme park has more projects, Jurassic Park, Xiaohuangren, etc. On the island, the ecology is mainly good, there are many birds, and I have seen seagulls, peacocks and lizards. The accommodation is more expensive. The hotel does not provide breakfast. Others are OK.
