Singapore often referred to as the Lion City, the Garden City, and the Little Red Dot, is a global city and sovereign state in Southeast Asia and the world’s only island city-state. It lies one degree (137 km) north of the equator, below the southernmost tip of continental Asia and peninsular Malaysia, with Indonesia’s Riau Islands to the south. Singapore’s territory consists of a diamond-shaped main island along with 62 other islets. Since independence, extensive land reclamation has increased its total size by 23% (130 km2), and its greening policy has covered the densely populated island with tropical flora, parks, and gardens.
Singapore’s average daily temperature range has a minimum, usually not falling below, 23-25ºC during the night and a maximum, not rising above, 31-33ºC during the day.
Singapore is also one of the financial hubs in Asia because we are an honest and diligent nation. We even have one of the busiest city airports in the world. Singapore’s crime rate is so low that many shops don’t even lock up. Singapore has kept its title as the world’s most expensive city to live in for many years. That’s including housing, car, and luxury items. However, eating in Singapore is quite reasonable, with the hawker centers, one can also find some free activities during the weekends. Singapore is often shown as a little dot on maps, but there are so many things to explore, I believe even most Singaporeans have not discovered every corner.
Here I introduce some routes for hiking, cycling, and sightseeing, Annual festivals and events in Singapore, and there are also many tourist attractions in Singapore below.

As for transportation, Singapore’s public transport system is fast and efficient. You can use the MRT (Mass Rapid Transit) and bus systems which have an extensive network of routes that will help you zip around the city. Most of our popular attractions are just a short walk away from an MRT station, making our trains a great way to get around. Our bus routes are also some of the most scenic, allowing you to indulge in the lush greenery and beautiful architecture of our ‘city in a garden’.
