Why visit Singapore

Singapore is a city-state that works: the Gardens by the Bay supertrees, the Marina Bay Sands infinity pool and hawker centres where a Michelin-starred chicken rice costs three dollars. Chinatown, Little India and Kampong Glam sit minutes apart, and the airport itself is a tourist attraction. It is the cleanest, easiest first stop in Southeast Asia.
