The 21-meter-high gopuram (pyramidal gateway tower), with its colorful sculptures of godly manifestations, is astounding. The chandelier-lit interior is lavishly decorated; 48 painted-glass panels are inset in the ceiling and angled to reflect the sunrise and sunset. Raffles Hotel 1 Beach Rd., Colonial Singapore (dress standards apply) Admission charged. In 1896, the Armenian Sarkies brothers took over a "tiffin house," or tearoom, and greatly expanded it, transforming it into one of the grandest hotels in Asia. Though rarely under British management, the hotel was long viewed as a bastion of colonialism. The hotel is no longer open for tours, but visitors can stroll around the lobby, and can visit the museum of Raffles memorabilia on the third floor; attend the multimedia show on the hotel's history at the Jubilee Hall playhouse (show times are at 10,11,12:30 and 1. ) It is also possible to take refreshment in a reproduction of the Long Bar, where the famous Singapore sling was created in 1903 by the bartender Ngiam Tong Boon High tea is served daily in the Tiffin Room. St. Andrew's Cathedral Coleman St. and St. Andrew's St., Colonial Singapore. The first church on this site was built in 1834; struck twice by lightning, it was demolished in 1855. Indian convicts were brought in to construct a new cathedral in 12th-century English Gothic style. Completed in 1862, the structure includes bells cast by the same firm that made Big Ben. Cathedral Of the Good Shepherd Queen Street A solid neoclassical building constructed from 1843-1846, this is the Catholic Cathedral. Sakya Muni Buddha Gaya Temple Race Course Rd., Little India. This is popularly known as the Temple of 1,000 Lights because, for a small donation, you can pull a switch that lights countless bulbs around a 15-meter (50-ft) Buddha. The entire temple, as well as the Buddha statue, was built by the Thai monk Vutthisasala, who also procured relics for the temple: a mother-of-pearl-inlaid cast of the Buddha's footprint and a piece of bark from the bodhi tree under which he received Enlightenment. Sri Mariamman Temple South Bridge Rd. and Temple St., Chinatown In the center of Chinatown, this is the oldest Hindu temple in Singapore. Its pagoda-like entrance is topped by one of the most ornate gopurams (pyramidal gateway towers) you are ever likely to see. Hundreds of brightly colored statues of deities and mythical animals line the tiers of this towering porch; glazed cement cows sit, seemingly in great contentment, atop the surrounding walls. Sultan Mosque North Bridge Rd., Arab District. 5am-8:30pm Built in 1928 by the same architects who designed the Victoria Memorial Hall, the Sultan Mosque is a dramatic building with golden domes and minarets that glisten in the sunlight. The walls of the vast prayer hall are adorned with green and gold mosaic tiles on which passages from the Qur'an are written in decorative Arab script. It is the largest mosque in Singapore. Thian Hock Keng Temple (Temple of Heavenly Happiness) Telok Ayer St., Chinatown Completed in 1841, this Chinese temple is one of Singapore's oldest and largest. Thian Hock Keng is richly decorated with gilded carvings, sculptures, tiled roofs, and fine carved stone pillars. Outside, on either side of the entrance, are two stone lions: the female holding a cup, symbolizing fertility, and the male holding a ball, a symbol of wealth. Inside, a statue of a maternal Ma Chu P'oh, surrounded by masses of burning incense and candles, dominates the room. While the main temple is Taoist, the temple at the back is Buddhist and dedicated to Kuan Yin, the goddess of mercy. Armenian Church Armenian St., Colonial Singapore. Officially the Church of St. Gregory the Illuminator and the oldest surviving church in the republic, this church was built in 1835 but is no longer used for services. The Armenians are another minority group who came to Singapore in search of fortune; a dozen wealthy families supplied the funds for George Coleman, Irish architect of many early Singapore buildings, to design this church. Botanic Gardens Corner of Napier and Cluny Rds. tel. 471-9955 or 471-9937 (Ranger's office) Admission free Open weekdays 5 am-12 midnight. These beautifully maintained 127 year old gardens cover some 74 acres, with a large lake, masses of shrubs and flowers, and examples of many species of trees, including 30-meter-high fan palms. An extensive orchid bed boasts 250 varieties, some of them very rare. Sunday Bird Singing Tiong and Seng Poh Roads, next to the Havelock Road Hotel MRT to Tiong Bahru station and walk east 500 meters or bus 123 from Orchard Road Sunday mornings 8-11 Songbird owners bring their caged birds to the gathering and hang the cages on wires strung between the trees.

  • Release No.: 43/OCT SPEECH by MR. LIM HNG KIANG, ACTING MINISTER for NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT, at TEE OPENING of the WHAMPOA FLYOVER
    Release No.: 43/OCT 14-2/94/10/29 SPEECH BY MR. LIM HNG KIANG, ACTING MINISTER FOR NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT, AT TEE OPENING OF THE WHAMPOAFLYOVER ON SATURDAY, 29 OCTOBER1994 AT 11.30 AN I am happy to be here this morning to officially open the new Whampoa Flyover. The Pan-Island Expressway (PIE) is Singapore's first and longest expressway. To cater for further increases in travel demand, the Public Works Department (PWD) had in 1991 embarked on a $185 million comprehensive programme to upgrade and improve the middle stretch of PIE between Jalan Eunos and BKE. The upgrading works include the widening of the main carriageway, the expansion of the Woodsville, Whampoa and Whitley Flyovers, the building of the new Kim Keat Flyover, and the improvement to the Toa Payoh South Flyover. The interchange of the Pan Island Expressway and the Central Expressway (CTE) is a major intersection of the two expressways. It is also, at present, the most complex in our expressway network in that it is the only one which serves as a four-way junction for intersecting expressways. Elsewhere in Singapore, our expressways have been planned to meet at three-way junctions. PWD has staged the construction of the interchange to meet traffic needs. When the CTE was built in 1983, the first stage of the interchange, allowing for three turning movements, was constructed. Provisions were made in the design for its expansion to take on more turning movements. Five additional turning movements are catered by the complete interchange layout, two of which have been opened as part of the construction works.

INTRODUCTION Tourism has developed into an impo-tant economic sector for many small islands and island states. In the main, sun, sea and sand have oonstituted the core bases for tourism growth, especially for islands located i.n the tropics. In contrast, cultural tourism in island tourism has fewer examples and has been more successful on larg..- islands, e.g. C<rsica, Sardinia, Sicily, Cyprus, Sri Lanka and Bali (Coolin and Baum, 1995; Bud..-, Harrison and Filho, 1996; Hoyle and Biagini. 1999). Singapore ranks as one of the few islands that has banked on cultural tourism to develop as a destination, especially after the 1980s.

  • Planning for Tourism: Creating a Vibrant Singapore
    Planning for Tourism: Creating a Vibrant Singapore A common misconception is that tourism policy primarily focuses on promotion and marketing campaigns. While these activities are essential, another important but STUDIES URBAN SYSTEMS sometimes overlooked aspect is how creative city planning can support tourism promotion, and consequently, how the needs and goals of tourism policy can influence development and planning decisions. In Singapore, tourism has shaped the built environment, influenced conservation and heritage policies, and enhanced quality of life for Singapore’s residents. The industry has also helped to anchor Singapore’s global reputation and attractiveness as a place to conduct business, study and live. a Vibrant Singapore Planning for Tourism: Creating This book will examine how Singapore’s tourism strategies Planning and city planning support each other.

  • (STB) Project at Mandai Lake Road
    Nature Society (Singapore) Conservation Committee Report on the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) Project at Mandai (This document is endorsed by the Council of The Nature Society) Preface to Nature Society’s 2007 Report on the Mandai Lake Road Development NSS had submitted a feedback report on the development to STB & National Parks Board (NParks) in 2007 when the plan was first announced. We were invited to a meeting at that time to be briefed on their plans and to get our verbal feedback. At that time the Orchid Gardens at the edge of the Night Safari area was not in the plan for the development. Although submitted in 2007, NSS concerns still holds today. At that meeting, we were told that they will be using the affected areas to lure and benefict visitors to the Zoo and to effect more than a daily visit. The plan was to create a resort with accommodation on an ecologically sustainable framework so that these visitors could have a few days and nights imbibing the jungle atmosphere/experience in the area apart from just seeing captive animals in the ZOO. They talked about having nature recreational facilities as well as conducting educational activities in the area. There was no mention about extending the Night Safari in these state lands nor any mention of transferring the Bird Park from Jurong to the area --- as mooted recently by some public figures in the mass media. These plans (Safari extension & Bird Park) if carried out will pose a serious threat to the integrity of the Central Catchment Nature Reserves CCNR).
