Singapore still a great place to stop

Every year, about 10 million visitors arrive in Singapore - but that is not where they want to be going. Singapore, for the bulk of them, is a place where they zip in and zip out on a stopover. mainly what they got to see on the free highlights tour offered to transit passengers at Changi Airport, shopping on Orchard Road or, worse, the inside of a hotel room. This is a pity because Singapore is a great place to get immersed in the Asian cultures. Singapore is a city eager to move into the future, but tradition and local cultures remain. Amid skyscrapers and modern shopping malls, visitors find temples and cultural hubs like Little India and Chinatown.
