Singapore and Malaysia are connected by a causeway spanning the narrow Straits of Johor. At the southern border, the country is separated by the Straits of Singapore from Indonesia, which connects the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea. Most of the country's population lives here.

The symbol of Singapore has become a mythical animal with the tail of a fish and the head of a lion, and Singapore is called the "City of the Lion. For a long time this state was a British colony. During World War II the Japanese occupied Singapore. After it ended, the state became independent.

Today, the former British colony has a highly developed industry and a high standard of living. Singapore is the gateway between Australia and Europe. Its inhabitants have made it the cleanest and greenest city in the world.

This state is called the "East Asian tiger" for its very rapid spurt of economic indicators to the level of developed countries. There are many things to do and see in Singapore. There is a magnificent zoo, a beautiful orchid garden, a business center with modern skyscrapers, the Arab, Indian and Chinese quarters, the oceanarium on the island of Syntosa, Mount Faber and much more.

The attraction of Singapore is a very high Ferris wheel, the total height of which is 165 meters.

The state of Singapore is multinational and it does not have its own cuisine. However, in the numerous cafes, bars and restaurants you can taste the national dishes of Malay, Arabic, Chinese and Indian cuisine. There is a huge choice of various exotic fruits, juices and cocktails. Seafood and fish are the base of the dishes. There are special "tasting routes" developed for the city guests, where you can not only have a delicious meal, but also to adopt the experience of cooking exotic dishes.

In July, Singapore hosts the world-famous National Cuisine Festival, which turns the entire city into a gourmet paradise.
