Gardens by the Bay Singapore Sentosa Bay W Hotel Merlion Park Singapore travel guide, covering classic attractions, unique cuisine, and practical tips to help you deeply experience the charm of this "Garden City":

🌆 Must-visit Attractions

1. Merlion Park
Singapore’s iconic landmark. After taking photos with the Merlion statue, you can stroll along the river to admire modern architectural complexes like Marina Bay Sands and the ArtScience Museum. At night, there’s also a laser fountain show.
2. Gardens by the Bay
- Supertree Light Show: Free every night at 7:45 PM and 8:45 PM. It’s recommended to lie on the lawn beneath the trees to immerse yourself in the magical forest of sound and light.
- Cloud Forest & Flower Dome: The indoor waterfall is 35 meters tall. Walk along the aerial walkway to overlook the greenery; the Flower Dome gathers rare plants from around the world, perfect for cooling off and taking photos.
3. Sentosa Island
- Universal Studios: Priority experience includes Transformers 3D battle and the Revenge of the Mummy roller coaster.
- Palawan Beach: The southernmost suspension bridge in continental Asia is perfect for sunset photos. Enjoy the night breeze at the beach bars.
4. Cultural District Walk
- Haji Lane: Rainbow graffiti walls and independent designer shops. The Arabian-style café at the end of the lane is worth a stop.
- Chinatown: Visit the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and taste authentic local snacks at Maxwell Food Centre.

🍽️ Must-try Foods

1. Chili Crab at Jumbo Seafood, the signature dish featuring plump Sri Lankan crab coated in a secret sweet and spicy sauce, even better when dipped with fried mantou buns.
2. Bak Kut Teh at Song Fa, with a rich peppery Chaozhou-style broth, tender pork ribs that fall off the bone, served with fried dough sticks and braised peanuts.
3. Hainanese Chicken Rice at Woon Tong Kee, with crispy chicken skin and tender meat. The chicken oil rice is steamed with pandan leaves, fragrant and not greasy.
4. Laksa at Katong’s 328 Katong Laksa, with a coconut-spicy broth, clams, and fish cakes, the rice noodles soak up the flavorful soup.

📍 Practical Tips

- Transportation: The MRT covers the entire island. It’s recommended to buy an EZ-Link card (available at convenience stores) for easy access to MRT, buses, and Sentosa Express.
- Accommodation: Hotels in the Clarke Quay area offer vibrant nightlife 🌃 and river views from the window; Orchard Road is ideal for shopping lovers with malls within walking distance.
- Notes: Bring a light jacket for indoor air conditioning; smoking is prohibited in public places (fines up to $1,000), and eating or drinking is not allowed on the MRT; always carry rain gear for sudden showers.

💎 The charm of Singapore lies in the seamless blend of a modern city and diverse cultures. Whether it’s overlooking the city from the Singapore Flyer, feasting at hawker centers, or enjoying a cup of “Lion City Teh Tarik” on the late-night streets, you’ll feel the warmth of this city. Plan your trip in advance and avoid the summer peak (June to August is hot and rainy); autumn and winter travel is more comfortable!
