My first stop in Singapore was amazing! You can enjoy a stroll along the beach and visit various attractions, all of which are great for taking photos and relaxing. It was a wonderful experience.

A fantastic zoo experience! Visiting all four parks in one day is just right. The night zoo experience is also very unique. Overall, highly recommended, especially for families with children.

Night Safari

Singapore Night Safari is an absolute must-see! As the world&#39;s first night safari, it uses clever lighting and natural environmental recreation to transport visitors to a tropical rainforest, allowing them to observe the nocturnal activities of animals like rhinos and elephants up close. Open from 6:30 PM until midnight, it perfectly aligns with the animals&#39; schedules, offering a unique and breathtaking nighttime experience. Four hiking trails traverse different terrains, providing an easy way to explore the nocturnal lives of animals from around the world. The weather is also a plus, turning pleasantly cool after sunset, making for a stress-free nighttime visit. The miniature train through the rainforest and the feeding experience are highlights, especially for children! The overall design is thoughtful, with lighting that doesn&#39;t disturb the animals, ensuring a comfortable and uninterrupted visit &ndash; truly the pinnacle of nighttime safari experiences!

I tried the luge in Sentosa, my first time doing this before in New Zealand. It&#39;s very easy to operate, you can learn it in no time, even kids can easily pick it up. As you slide down the curves, you can control your speed, fast or slow as you like, and the wind on your face feels wonderful. The scenery along the way is also beautiful, especially at dusk, the sunset over the sea and greenery is so relaxing. The experience of taking the cable car back was also fantastic, a gentle ascent with expansive views, it was very calming.

The museum, through its vivid historical materials, tells me that from ancient times to the present, from the Straits Settlements to the independent Republic of Singapore, Singapore, under the leadership of Mr. Lee Kuan Yew, has created a miracle that belongs only to itself through the trials of time.
