Then, if you travel to many Asian destinations, there is a full-service, low-cost carriers from Singapore airport dazzling. In addition, English is widely spoken here.
But most importantly, provides three ethnic groups of Singapore's culture: Chinese, Malays and Indians. What can be more rewarding to see the three Asian communities than a destination? In fact, the descendants of Asian immigrants to obtain Singapore's culture, ancient traditions still dominate the big melting pot. These findings are in Singapore, visit the so-called 'unique traditional ethnic enclaves: Chinatown, Kampong Glam and Little India. These lovely spots that everyone can enjoy a leisurely stroll.
Chinatown:
When the founder of Singapore, Raffles City reserve land, he decided the building should be made of permanent magnetic material. Raffles and the degree of protection, Chinatown is still at an early appreciation of the Singapore shop houses the local architecture.
There are many old industries, however, as China has replaced the more upscale restaurants and restaurant activities. And well. Opium dens, brothels and houses of death (which was sentenced to death) for the occupation of a number of shop houses here. Today, you can only see the pictures and models, the Chinatown Heritage Centre in these industries the UPS. However, Chinatown retains a strong sense of 'Chineseness'.
Chinatown restaurants is only used for local and Southern Chinese food. Today, however, you will find offers cuisine from other parts of China's many restaurants. These are the first generation who came from the Chinese provinces of immigrants. Singapore's oldest Chinese temple - very detailed Tian Fu Gong - also found here. Is also worth a visit of Chinese calligraphy, antiques, antique traditional clothing stores.
Kampong Glam:
Kampong Glam is so called because the tree Gülen - Eucalyptus relative - used throughout the region. Today, Singapore's Malay Kampong Glam continues to converge, as in Sudan Mosque - Singapore's largest mosque - is located here. Sudan mosque has a fascinating history. This is the post-1928 reconstruction of the main fund-raising projects. The poorer folks who made donations to many buildings appear from the collection of used bottles and selling funds. If you visit a mosque, you will see it on the main dome, a black trim structure made entirely of glass bottles sitting. It is not difficult to explain why they are there.
It is also worth doing here in the Malay Heritage Centre's workshop. You can spend a day forming their own pottery or create your own batik art. Otherwise, go to a nearby Arab street, so you a beautiful rattan laundry basket, an Afghan carpet, or dressed in beautiful silk head to work.
Little India:
The main road in Little India is Serangoon Road. Even today, it is still Singapore's Indian community focus.
A good start walking near Tekka Centre. Here, for a myriad of spices and jasmine garlands, most of them the smell of the store have to sell your nostrils. You will also find a strange classification to shelled coconut, lemon, clay and similar containers, all of which are near the temple for worship. Linger for a while and enjoy the stunning color of their saris for women, because they have to bargain the price of groceries stall. This is the authentic Singaporean get.
If you have never walked into a Hindu temple, Sri Lanka Veerama Kaliamman Temple Belilios Road is a must see. Here, you will first be realistic sculptures of Hindu gods in awe. Internally, the Hindu music to create a favorable atmosphere for the worship of believers. Visitors can participate in the proceedings, or simply marvel at the Hindu goddess Kali incredibly lifelike statue. Bollywood music, curry and a variety of colors of the saris will not escape your attention in Little India. If you like shopping, eating, you will be spoiled for choice.
The intersection of diverse cultures:
These areas, of course not mutually exclusive, there are many among Singapore's ethnic blend. For example, you will find a mosque frequented by Malays to stand in the glory of Little India and the Indian temple in Chinatown, the center of the main suspect. These are a fascinating visit.
