Asian Civilisations Museum

The Asian Civilisations Museum is devoted to exploring the rich artistic heritage of Asia, especially the ancestral cultures of Singaporeans. Founded in 1993 and in its present building by the Singapore River since 2003, the museum traces its roots to the Raffles Museum, founded in the middle of the 19th century. ACM focuses on the many historical connections between the cultures of Asia, and between Asia and the world. Singapore’s history as a port city that brought people together from all over the world is used as a means of examining the history of Asia. Special exhibitions bring magnificent objects from around the world to our Singapore audience. Programmes like the annual River Nights encourage visitors to connect more closely with culture and the arts.

I walked past this place on my way to Marina Bay and got curious. I was not disappointed! The shipwreck exhibition is fascinating, as is the one of ink paintings. I also enjoyed the history of religion in Singapore and the trade in Singapore. There was a free guided tour with a museum volunteer, who was just so delightfully, endearingly enthusiastic about everything. Really great visit, would wholeheartedly recommend.

Went up to the Marina Bay Sands Skypark to admire the view and enjoy a cocktail,following the advise of a colleague Trip Advisor review I purchased the ticket to get access to the Skypark terrace and used the fee paid to pay in part for a cocktail, the view is magnificent and the architecture is amazing. The restriction was to go to the pool area reserved only for guests, Enjoying a cocktail and the view and the people watching was fabulous , the weather was perfect and had a leisurely drink and edamame, there are two bars I spent my time closest to the infinity pool, the oposite side had a restaurant and a bar, Excellent time

Lau Pa Sat Festival Pavilion

Reviewed By 404kaelp - Williamstown, Australia

Lau Pa Sat has a vast array of food stalls offering cuisines from around the world. The prices are very cheap, and the food was still very tasty. I would recommend seating in the middle of the market, as if you're on the outer ring you may be pestered by people trying to push their stall/dishes.

Not a customer of UOB but dropped by the visit the UOB Painting of the Year Exhibition. Stunning works on display of various mediums - including leather - stunning work of faces by Somchai Sidamon. Another entitled wastescape depicts space waste - intriguing and masterfully created by Chaichana Luetralun. Plenty of other art works that are equally attractive. Clearly a lot of talent on display. Opposite on the ground floor is Paris Baguette - I had a nice lunch there. As you exit the building onto UOB Square you will see a massive sculpture by Salvador Dali - an artists delight. Great visit.

Marina Bay Golf Course

Marina Bay Golf Course is Singapore’s first and only 18-hole public golf course and one of Asia’s best public golf courses. The award-winning course is also the first to introduce the longest and only par-6 hole on the island. Located strategically in the heart of town, the course offers golfers great accessibility and a picturesque view of the city skyline, be it day or night. The design of the par-72 championship course attempts to connect to the history of golf; traditional links of Scotland and the beginning of golf - with its few water hazards and in particular, its 85 pot bunkers. The signature holes of the quality course include the 651-meter par-6 4th hole and the par-3 13th, complete with island green design. Its latest addition is the Marina Bay Putting Course which open for play in November 2017. The par-24, 6-hole putting course features 211 metres of natural grass putting surface and a spectacular view of the Singapore city skyline.

Although the course is a bit flat, numerous bunkers & water hazards have made up the challenges for the layout. With friendly staff and great facilities, it is no doubt one of the best public golf course in Asia.
