It has several faces. In the daytime, the colorful buildings are shining along the river, and the restaurant and stalls are packed with local people and visitors. At night, the vibrant area turns into romantic spot where many couples are gathering and having a wonderful dinner in terraces.
In the daytime...

Over the three levels allows you to get excited all the time. In the 1st floor, it tells us trade having history from 9th century.

Suspected attraction is climbing, lifting and dropping, so guests should be in good physical. It's available until the near restaurants are closed, so why don't you try it in both daytime and night? It must give you drastically different feelings.

The Central
There is a outstanding shopping mall, overlooking the Singapore River modeled after Harajuku, Tokyo where the trendy fashion are creating endlessly and young people are gathering and spreading them all over Japan. You can feel Japan in independent boutiques, restaurants and discount store. Among them, I was surprised that DON DON DONKI (called Don Quijote in Japan) is more familiar with local people than I'd expected. The composition of the store is almost the same with Japanese one. It sells food, daily necessaries, and clothing. It provides high-quality Japanese food. Therefore, some people often go there to eat them, not in Japanese restaurant.

The bungy looks so attractive and fantastic! Although I've never tried this type of attraction, I want to ride it very much. What's more, I was really surprised to know there is Don Quijote in Singapore. So could you tell me both the similarities and differences between the shop in Japan and Singapore one.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment, Saki. I think both Donki are almost the same about the goods and stalls. Although local people say its price is low, it's relatively more expensive than Japanese Donki.
DeleteThank you for keeping the Singapore information interesting and enjoyable to read. Hopefully you will try to embed a video in your blog soon. One thing I would like to suggest is that when you have two pictures side-by-side, you should center align them rather than left align. If the pictures don't stretch across the whole post field, they create a visual imbalance. Alternately, you could separate the pictures and have one left aligned and the other right aligned.,
ReplyDeleteI also want to suggest that you try to increase your readership. One good way to do this is to link your blog posts to your favorite social media. Check out the page LInking Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc. to Blogger on the pukblogtips.blogspot.com page.
DeleteThank you for your advice. I've never realized that how important the balance is. I should check the center line all the time.
DeleteI was interested in this attraction. I don't think I can get on because I'm afraid of high places, but I want to see it nearby. I didn't know that there was something like this, so I became more interested in Singapore!
ReplyDeleteJust try everything that you're interested in. I'll introduce Universal Studio Singapore and other outdoor activities.
DeleteI think this is my favorite post of yours so far. I have seen many aesthetically pleasing pictures of the country myself, and once again I was reminded me of how gorgeous Singapore is. You are really making me want to visit the country! I was INSANELY fascinated by the first picture from how beautiful it looks! I am also a massive fan of attractions like swings, which is another appealing point of the city for me. I was surprised too, that Singapore has a city modelling harajuku. Would be really fun to explore and find differences there. You keep improving the content, please keep it up!
ReplyDeleteI was delighted to hear that you're also getting into Singapore. As I said before, Singapore is multicultural country and every trend is mixed up and gradually it becomes its own culture. I'm trying to attract readers' attention.
DeleteThere are so many attractions in Singapore! I read your blog and you want to go to Singapore more and more! The one that attracted me the most is bungee jump. I want to do it once. Thank you for the interesting information.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to your next post!
When I saw the bungee jump, I was trembling unconsciously. If you want to try it in Singapore, you should practice the similar one in Japan.
