Attractions: Singapore's attractions reflect the diverse people who live
there. In Downtown, communities of Little India and the Arab
district give an exotic spice to Singapore. Chinatown stands out
with its traditions and decoration in contrast to a very modern
city. The edges of this modernity can be viewed at the Red Dot
Design Museum and at the many shopping malls. To escape the feel of
the city tourists can enjoy the Singapore Botanical Gardens, the
Chinese and Japanese Gardens, the Jurong Bird Park or the Singapore
Zoo. Bukit Timah Nature Reserve is the best way to experience nature
while still inside city limits. For others ferrying between islands
can be the best escape. Sentosa Island is a fun theme park to let
loose of city congestion. The more relaxing Palau Ubin island is
both interesting for its Malay culture and an ideal spot to soak up
beach sun especially in the rare sunny months of April and May.
