Singapore - A City Within Nature

Known as a ‘City Within a Garden’, Singapore boasts a wealth of verdant gardens and green public spaces. Wander the grounds of Singapore Botanic Gardens, see the National Orchid Garden, and visit the expansive Gardens by the Bay complex. Marvel at the flourishing greenery beneath the vast canopy at Jewel Changi Airport, including its Shiseido Forest Valley. We also explore the Chek Jawa Wetlands, one of Singapore’s richest ecosystems, which lies on the untouched island of Pulau Ubin.

You will be met at the airport and transferred to your hotel. This evening, enjoy a Welcome Dinner at 6.30pm. There will also be a welcome lecture on Singapore’s ‘City Within a Garden’ plan, presented by a local representative.

Visit Fort Canning Park, an iconic hilltop landmark that has witnessed many of Singapore’s historical milestones. The hill was once the site of the palaces of 14th-century kings and also served as the Headquarters of the Far East Command Centre and British Army Barracks. The decision to surrender Singapore to the Japanese on 15 February 1942 was also made on the hill, in the Underground Far East Command Centre, commonly known as Battle Box. Today, Fort Canning Park features nine historical gardens - the Pancur Larangan, Artisan’s Garden, Sang Nila Utama Garden, Jubilee Park (Phase 1), Raffles Garden, First Botanic Garden, Farquhar Garden, Spice Garden, and Armenian Street Park. Fort Canning is also Singapore’s first botanic garden. Afterwards, we stop in at the National Museum of Singapore, where we learn parts of Singapore’s intriguing history, in a manner both fun and rewarding. Enjoy a Farewell Dinner this evening.
