Sentosa Island
Useful Sightseeing Tips to Tour Sentosa Smartly
Most tourists visit Sentosa Island. Even locals like my family and myself pay a visit to Sentosa at least once a year. It's definitely an ideal playground for people on family vacation. Plan for at least a day's sightseeing in Sentosa. There are plenty of attractions and I am here to help you choosing the right ones. What not to MissThree things we always do when visiting Sentosa: Take the Luge and Skyride and see the amazing sea creatures at the Underwater World. The last thing is to have a nice picnic at one of the three Sentosa Beaches. For a first-time visitor, I would suggest that you pay a visit to the Images of Singapore, one of the top Sentosa Attractions. This award-winning museum gives you an insight into the old times as well as modern days of Singapore all under one roof.
One of the over-rated show, Song of the Sea is a must-see water show by the sea located at Siloso Beach. Formerly known as Musical Fountain, it is a complete change after a major renovation. I used to end my trip with the show, where the hightlight is on fountain-like water spray dancing harmoniously with the background classical music. In addition, it was enhanced with colorful lighting which changes constantly with the rhythm of the background music. Now filled with lasers, pyrotechnics, bursts of fire, water jets, pop music and a live cast, the show has become more like a state-of-the-art entertainment. I wasn't impressed with all the new additions. However, it's still a good experience if you have not yet seen it.
