Visit Singapore - In the eyes of world............ tourism icons!



When you talks about Singapore you can’t get away from these tourism icons like Raffles Hotel, The Merlion and The National flower "Vanda Miss Joaquim".

The Raffles Hotel, The Merlion and The National Flower "Vanda miss joaquim" are not just a tourism icon but it represents Singapore in many ways.

Just like what people say, if you have not been to the Eiffel tower you have never been to France before. So have you been to Raffles hotel?



Did you know....

First Statue Of Sir Stamford Raffles

The original bronze statue of Stamford Raffles was created by Thomas Woolner in 1887 and placed at the centre of the Padang. In 1919, on the centenary of Singapore’s founding, it was relocated to the front of the Victoria Memorial Hall and Theatre. In 1969, on the 150th anniversary of the founding, the government erected another, a white replica beside the Old Parliament House, by the Singapore River.
