Buddha Tooth Relic Temple
288 South Bridge Road, Singapore 058840
The Buddha Tooth Relic Temple is a five-storey Tang Dynasty-style Buddhist temple in the heart of Chinatown that was built in 2007 but looks and feels centuries old — a testament to the meticulous scholarship and craftsmanship that went into recreating the architectural vocabulary of 7th-century Chinese Buddhism in a 21st-century building.
Fort Canning Park
River Valley Rd, Tanglin, Singapore, Singapore
Fort Canning is a hilltop park in the centre of Singapore that holds more history per square metre than almost anywhere on the island — 700 years of it, from the 14th-century Malay kings who built a palace on the summit to the British colonial fortress to the underground bunker where the decision to surrender Singapore to the Japanese was made in 1942.
Haw Par Villa
262 Pasir Panjang Rd, Queenstown, Singapore, 118628, Singapore
Haw Par Villa is the strangest attraction in Singapore — a hillside theme park built in 1937 by the Aw brothers (creators of Tiger Balm) featuring over 1,000 statues and dioramas depicting scenes from Chinese mythology, Confucian moral tales, and the Ten Courts of Hell, rendered in a style that ranges from folk art to fever dream.
Henderson Waves & Southern Ridges

Henderson Waves is Singapore's highest pedestrian bridge — a 274-metre undulating steel structure that connects Mount Faber Park to Telok Blangah Hill Park at 36 metres above Henderson Road, and walking across it feels like riding a frozen wave through the forest canopy.

181 Lornie Rd, Central Water Catchment, Singapore, 297732, Singapore
The MacRitchie TreeTop Walk is a 250-metre free-standing suspension bridge suspended 25 metres above the forest canopy in the heart of Singapore — a swaying, exhilarating crossing that puts you at eye level with the treetops of primary and mature secondary rainforest, with long-tailed macaques, flying lemurs, and over 100 bird species for company.
Marina Barrage

Singapore Botanic Gardens
1 Cluny Rd, Tanglin, Singapore, 259569, Singapore

Sri Mariamman Temple
244 South Bridge Road, Singapore 058793
