Urban jungle of Singapore
3
days 2 nights or 4 days 3 nights
An ultra-modern city, divided between its Chinese, Indian and Malay quarters, its business district and its commercial areas, Singapore still conceals a few natural havens. Protected areas of forest and mangroves alternate with artificial parks rich in birdlife which are a paradise for bird-watching photographers. The very good road and transport network make getting around very easy.
