The city of Singapore draws millions of tourists every year and the facts that are responsible for the popularity of this nation are the splendiferous beaches, the museums that displays rare collections that are an integral part of the glorious past of Singapore, the gardens, the parks, the high buildings that touch the skyline of Singapore, the stately buildings and historical sites as well as the postcard landscapes.
As far as sightseeing is concerned, a visit to the Fort Canning Park is a must for all visitors. This park is situated at the Orchard Road (the shopping hub of Singapore) and the year of its establishment dates back to the year 1859. It features the memorials that are very strongly connected to the early history of Singapore or to be specific is an integral part of the 14th century Singapore.
At this park, check out the bungalow that was once the residence of Sir Stamford Raffles (the founder of the nation of Singapore), the ‘Spice Garden’, which is actually a replica of the first botanical garden of this nation that was established by Sir Stamford Raffles in the year 1822, ‘Cupolas’, which were designed for the purpose of relaxation by ‘George Drumgole Coleman’ and the ‘Fort Caning Centre’ that used to be the barracks of the British Army.
The other places of visit at this city are the ‘James Brooke Napier Memorial’ that is dedicated to the first law agent of this nation, James Brooke Napier, ‘Underground Far East Command Centre’ which was used at the time of World War II by Liutenant General Arthur Ernest Percival as his commanding base and includes other places of visit as well.
However, at present it has turned into a popular venue for arts, exhibitions that include sculpture exhibitions, open – air ballet as well as plays.
