Singapore 2days 1 night

SINGAPORE

Singapore is in fact not just one island but a main island with over 60 surrounding islets. This smallest nation in Southeast Asia has a total land area of about 640 sq km with more than 4 million of population. Eventhough this island is small but some Of islets have a lots of attractions in store for the tourist apart from breathtaking scenic views.

One of the island is Sentosa, it is worth a trip. It became a main destination in this half day package tour itinerary.

Underwater World : This is Asia’s most exiting tropical oceanarium. Walking among the sharks with their steely gazes and the hundreds of shoals of glimmering fish; the abundant marine life makes you wonder if you are travelling in a dream. This is the entrance to Underwater World, an attraction in S entosa that provides an introduction to the aquamarine world of fishes, corals and others, that will prove to be both enlightening and enjoyable. It has an 80-metre submerged acrylic tunnel, allowing you to see over 2 500 marine animals in close proximity. Opens from 9am to 9pm daily.



Fort Siloso became another destination n this package half day tour.

Fort Siloso: The Japanese were marching down to Southeast Asia on their quest to conquer the whole of Asia. The British had no choice but to defend Singapore, one of the most important colonies found in Asia; they built Fort Siloso. And it still stands, preserved from the ravages of time, on the island of Sentosa, a reminder of the presence of the vigilant British soldiers on the fair island. Several tunnels and underground passages led into the some of the Fort's storerooms, where vital supplies and equipment were kept for use. After restoration in the 1980's, the cannons were returned to their places of 40 years ago. Travel back in time and witness the military officers in their living quarters. This is just what Fort Siloso does; it literally, brings you into the past, the turbulent years of World War.
