Enchanting Singapore, one of several books in Southeast Asia’s bestselling travel pictorial series, has just been updated and republished for its fourth edition. This 80-page, hardcover book has numerous photographs of Singapore’s main tourist attractions and sites to make it the perfect gift or souvenir of this Asian island nation. First published in 2012 by John Beaufoy (UK), it has been fully updated with the latest information, statistics and attractions by Asian-based writer, David Bowden.
Singapore has excellent shopping and fascinating museums; a wide variety of wildlife-watching opportunities; world-class theme parks; a colourful nightlife and a huge choice of dining opportunities – all packed into one small island state.
The two integrated resorts of Resorts World Sentosa and Marina Bay Sands offer the glitz and glamour of Las Vegas as well as the world’s largest oceanarium and thrilling adventure parks. Other attractions are the boardwalk that runs along the coast and mangrove area of Chek Jawa, as well as ‘Gardens by the Bay’, three waterfront gardens that showcase horticulture and garden art. Singapore’s Botanic Gardens have developed into one of the world’s most respected gardens with palms, cycads, bromeliads and a vast number of orchids. For sporting enthusiasts, there are all of the watersports you would expect around an island and some adventurous trekking in the national parks and wetlands.
The wonderful array of cuisines from Nyonya to Chinese, Indian to Malay is proof of the collage of cultures that make up Singapore’s population. Enchanting Singapore reveals all of the must-see places and events to make a visit exciting, entertaining and unforgettable.
