Singapore Tourism Guide
Chinatown, though somewhat overwhelmed by the growth of the Financial District, is a bustling and colourful area with shops, teahouses and restaurant, and also several temples such as the Fuk Tak Ch'i in Telok Ayer Street and the Temple of the Calm Sea. Ancient crafts of calligraphy, papermaking and fortune-telling are practised, and traditional goods and foodstuffs can be bought.
The characteristic domestic architecture of Singapore – the shop-house with a moulded front, shuttered upper floor and an arcaded street front – is much in evidence. Serangoon Road is the centre of Little India, the Indian quarter stretching from Rochar Canal to Lavender Street. The Zhu Jiao Centre, at the southern end of Serangoon Road, is a particularly vibrant example of Little India. Other attraction in the area include the Sri Veeramakalimman Temple, the Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Hall in Race Course Lane and Farrer Park.

Best time to visit Singapore
It is very interesting to know that Singapore does not have a particular time to visit. Actually, the vary reason of a number of events and festivities observed in Singapore throughout the year, makes it busy with tourists all the time. Also the best time to visit Singapore depends on the purpose of your visit. Usually the reasons may very from visitor to visitor.
Another place I think a toddler would enjoy, including the adults, would be the Singapore Zoo. We have a very beautiful zoo and there's a Children's corner as well with activities catered specially for children. You could also get up close with an orang utan and take pictures with her. However, climatically speaking, Singapore lies in the close vicinity of the equator and the large water bodies in and around Singapore create an environment of a tropical rain forest climate.
The climate also becomes a bit humid most of the time. Usually May and June are the hottest months and November and December are the wettest seasons in Singapore. So any time except these four months is the best time to visit Singapore. Let us have a close look on various important time and occasions to visit Singapore.
