Extremely chill place whereby you can enjoy a relaxing day of sightseeing ! Chill out on the grass patch where many Singaporeans and tourists alike love going to fly kites especially during the weekends. During the national day periods you might even get to enjoy occasional display of fireworks during the rehearsals (which my friends & I got to experience... More

Hidden away at the edge of the city center, accessible only by vehicles, for MRT is a long long walk. The complex act like a Dam to control water flow from Singapore River to the Singapore Sea. There is a Conserve Water interactive Museum for everyone, quite fun to learn how Singapore manage her water resources. Take a walk on... More

I like the Barrage. No glitz, no hard sell. A reservoir right in the heart of a vibrant city, trapping a not insignificant portion of the rain that falls on the island. Here local people can wander around enjoying the views or maybe flying a kite. Technology that you can touch and feel. This is what keeps Singapore ahead of... More

You get the best view of the central business district, including all the latest Singapore iconic buildings and structures from here. Definitely worth a visit if you like landscape photography. You can also have a pinic of fly kites in the evening. More

Marina Barrage is set along the southern coastlines of Singapore. With its clean cut architecture it is also a choice place for wedding photoshoots. One of its main features is a grass lawn rooftop where you can lounge for a afternoon picnic and kite flying or view the distant Singapore Skyline at night. Though not perched up very high like...

Most part of the marina bay area is still under construction so the entire area is very dusty and inaccessible. Cabs seldom come in unless you call. The barrage is quiet and has a few shops. Nice to come and feel breeze and chat. More
