The Republic of Singapore is an island city-state in Southeast Asia, situated on the southern tip of Malay Peninsula. Once a British trading settlement self-government was granted in 1959; Singapore has subsequently become one of the world's most prosperous countries. Its combination of Western-style development and Eastern-style calm seems to present the best of both hemispheres. Within Singapore you will find Chinatown the city's cultural heart, Little India and Arab St a traditional textile district that is the Muslim centre. Places of Colonial interest in Singapore include the Empress Place Building that houses a museum, art galleries and a chic restaurant, Raffles Hotel and many churches. Other attractions include Orchard Road, Haw Par Villa, Jurong Bird Park, the Singapore Discovery Centre and Sentosa Island with its museums, aquariums, beaches, sporting facilities and rides.
