It is the nice place that people come to visit every year and become more popular place that visitors never miss. Hugging the coastline of Australia’s Top End, the region encompassing the Northern Territory, Darwin has long been the most international of the country’s major cities. Its close proximity to other countries in the Indian Ocean has made the city a transportation hub since its earliest days. 

Devastated during World War II and again in 1974 when struck by Cyclone Tracy, Darwin is a resilient town with a spirit that can’t be defeated. Today, the city of around 75,000 people is a popular holiday destination.

Darwin’s main natural attraction is its wide sandy beach lined with open-air beer bars, seafood restaurants and multinational shops. Twice the size of Sydney Harbor, Darwin Harbor attracts travelers too. Cruises lasting two to 12 hours are available for explorations of the region’s mangrove forest, for fishing expeditions and for bird and marine photo opportunities. 

In the evening, locals and visitors stroll down the city’s esplanade to enjoy films at the Deckchair Cinema, a large open-air theater located on the banks of harbor.

Darwin is also the hub for tours to famous Kakadu National Park as well as Litchfield National Park and Katherine Gorge.

With people from more than 60 nationalities living in Darwin, it’s no surprise that the city’s cuisine is broad and varied. Darwin’s attractions are just as diverse. Whether watching crocodiles cavort in Crocodylus Park, cruising to the Aboriginal-owned Tiwi Islands or relaxing on the beach, there’s always something new to experience in tropical Darwin.

Thank your visit here!

No visit to Sydney is complete without a tour of the Sydney Opera House. Designed by Danish architect Jørn Utzon and completed in 1973, the sailing ship-inspired performing arts complex is considered one of the world’s most distinctive architectural structures. Sydney is very nice city in Australia


For adventurous visitors to Sydney, a heart-thumping climb on the harbor bridge is a must-do activity. For others, shopping at the historic Queen Victoria Building, hitting the clubs and restaurants the in Rocks district and visiting the world-class Taronga Zoo are can’t-miss activities. Visitors can count on cosmopolitan Sydney to accommodate every taste. Sydney is very nice city in Australia

Located on Australia’s southeastern coast, Sydney is the capital of the state of New South Wales. A modern city with a long history, Sydney is defined by its scenic harbor. The region’s first inhabitants, the Eora people, lived along the harbor’s bank for thousands of years. The harbor was also the landing site for convicts sent to Australia during the 1780s. Today, ferries take visitors for cruises under the famed Sydney Harbor Bridge and past the iconic Sydney Opera House. Sydney is very nice city in Australia

Adventurous travelers can take a ferry to Manly Wharf where they can rent kayaks to paddle the inlets of Sydney Harbor National Park or sign up for surf classes at Manly Beach. Ferries are available to Cockatoo Island too, where visitors can tour historical prisons and dockyards. Sydney is very nice city in Australia

Those who prefer to land explorations can enjoy exquisite vistas from the sandstone cliffs that rise up from Sydney’s harbor. The Federation Cliff Walk is a 5-km (3-mile) long walkway that starts at the Raleigh Reserve Park, providing spectacular views of the sea, harbor and the Macquarie Lighthouse, Australia’s first and longest operating lighthouse. Sydney’s beaches are the perfect place to spend a warm summer day, to swim or just relax on the sands. The most popular are Bondi Beach, Manly and Coogee, although many others have their own charms. Sydney is very nice city in Australia

Wow it look nice that more people come to visit and take some photos. And here I will share some meaning that it would be nice time to visit and know it.

North of the old mouth of the Singapore River is what might be termed Singapore’s Colonial District, peppered with venerable reminders of British rule set back from the vast lawn that is the Padang.

The area still feels like the centrepiece of downtown, even though modern edifices in the surroundings constantly pull focus from it – notably the towers of Marina Bay Sands and the Financial District, away to the south, and the Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay complex to the northeast.

Despite the district’s historical associations, there are not that many high-profile sights. Chief among these are the excellent National Museum and Peranakan Museum, both nestling beneath verdant Fort Canning Park – itself worth a look, as are the dignified St Andrew’s Cathedral and the diminutive Armenian Church of St Gregory the Illuminator. By far the district’s most famous building, however, is the grand old Raffles Hotel.

The Singapore Flyer is the world’s largest observation wheel. A one-of-a-kind experience and built over a three-story terminal building, the Flyer is 150 metres in diameter, 165 metres high, and travels at 0.21m per second (it is some 30 metres taller than the famous London Eye!) With breathtaking panorama views that are so radically different during the day and at night, it’s hard to choose the best time to take a ride.

Passengers will get to see such city sights as the Singapore River, Raffles Place, Marina Bay, Empress Place and the Padang. Each of Singapore Flyer 28 city-bus-sized air-conditioned capsules can carry up to 28 passengers and a complete rotation of the wheel takes approximately 30 minutes.

If shopping is your thing, there are plenty of opportunities here from luxury watches to jewellery but it’s not all about extravagance; you can sample various types of delicious food at many of the city-state’s restaurants as well as relaxing at a spa facility offering such treatments as a ‘Dr. Fish’ spa and foot reflexology. An activity not to be missed for those who love the idea of flying is to experience the flight simulator and be a pilot for a day in a well-equipped cockpit.

Raffles Place and its environs, situated right outside the entrance of Raffles Place MRT, are now occupied by skyscrapers such as the UOB Plaza and OUB Building. It is Singapore's business and financial centre, and is often known as the Central Business District. 

From the viewing room on the 28th floor of UOB Plaza One, which is open to the public, you can get a spectacular view of Singapore River, the civic district and its colonial structures and Boat Quay. Still there are some reminders left from when Singapore was a bustling colonial outpost.

Change Alley was the street where Indian money changers ran their businesses; today the Alley is tucked inside OUB Building but you can still change your foreign currencies and travellers cheques here. Further south along the waterfront is Lau Pa Sat, a Victorian-styled cast-iron structure that used to house a wet market. Now, it's a lively hawker centre with stalls that sell arts and crafts and show cultural performances.

Raffles Hotel and Museum

Raffles Hotel, a legendary property, consisted of only a few bungalows when it first opened in 1887. Nowadays it offers 103 suites with 65 boutiques and stores, as well as food and beverage outlets in the hotel’s arcades. The Raffles Museum is probably the highlight for none-hotel guests. It is a must for history buffs as the museum exhibits many period items from 1880 to 1939 including silver, china, letters and postcards plus many 19th century photographs of Singapore and Southeast Asia. The fabulous colonial-style hotel was built by four Armenian brothers (Martin, Tigran, Aviet, and Arshak Sarkies) and since its inception has weathered some difficult times including the Great Depression and WWII. Its biggest restoration was undertaken around 1989 and when it reopened in 1991 the hotel looked as elegant as it was in its early days.

With more luxury facilities added such as a spa, courtyards, a Victorian-style theatre and an events facility, Raffles has simply become one of the most desirable high-end hotels in Asia for elite sophisticated travellers. Over the years it has won many awards and has gained high respect from its hospitality industry partners. Authors Somerset Maugham and Rudyard Kipling were among the many famous hotel guests as well as Elizabeth Taylor, Queen Elizabeth II and the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson.

Many visitors come for the Long Bar experience and they can be sure to enjoy the best Singapore Sling in town. After all, it was invented here and they’ve had almost 100 years of experience at making them.

This may not be the highest view that you can get of the city, but sitting atop of such a famous hotel with the double view of the skyscrapers downtown and the boats below is well worth the trip up.

Marina Bay Sands SkyPark really offers a taste of the highlife by viewing Singapore from above. This large wooden decked area on top of iconic Marina Bay Sands hotel at the edge of the city’s harbour offers a 360-degree panorama, with nothing but a sheet of glass and a few wires between you and the view.

Sitting on top of the massive, three-pronged hotel that overlooks the bay and practically put Singapore on the map, Marina Bay Sands SkyPark has been one of the most popular attractions in Singapore since it opened at the turn of the decade. Entrance for adults starts at S$23 and there are discounted rates available for children and senior citizens. Read for more info at Marina Bay Sands SkyPark and Observation Deck in Singapore.

The observation deck takes up one side of the rooftop area of Marina Bay Sands, high above the city and the docks including an impressive bird’s eye view of Gardens by the Bay, Singapore’s futuristic park and the amazing metal tree structures. The best time to come up to the SkyPark is early evening, meaning you get to see Singapore by both day and night, and if you are lucky perhaps even a sunset. The park is open from 09:30 till 22:00 (at 23:00 at the weekend). Getting here is easy, take the MRT, the closest stop is Bayfront, and from here you can walk via the luxury mall directly into the hotel’s gigantic lobby. Head to the registration desk at the bottom of tower three, there is a separate lift to take you to the 56th floor and the outdoor viewing area.

It is worth considering taking the guided tours of the SkyPark, which happen at 10:00, 14:00 and 21:00 every day. Instead of just gazing at the city you can get a much deeper insight into all the amazing sights, as well as a potted history of Singapore. You also get to access the pool area, which is usually reserved for guests only. Sadly they don’t give you enough time for a quick dip! Each tour can only take a limited number of people around and registration starts from 09:30 on a first-come-first-served basis. Don’t worry too much if you don’t manage a tour, there is plenty to look at; be sure to take your camera so you can take plenty of shots. These are pictures that will make everyone at home jealous.

When we come to visit in Singapore, we will know old districts of Singapore called Little India.

Of all the old districts of Singapore, the most charismatic has to be Little India. Here Indian pop music blares from shops, the air is perfumed with incense, spices and jasmine garlands, Hindu women promenade in bright saris, a wealth of restaurants serve up superior curries – and there are a couple of busy temples to visit, too. 

Though the remaining shophouses are fast being touched up from the same pastel paintbox as that which restored Chinatown to its present cuteness, the results seem to work better in an Indian context.

The original occupants of this convenient downtown niche were Europeans and Eurasians who established country houses here, and for whom a racecourse was built in the 1840s on the site of today’s Farrer Park. Many of the roads in Little India started out as private tracks leading to these houses, and their names – Dunlop, Cuff, Desker, Norris – recall these early colonial settlers. Only when Indian-run brick kilns began to operate here did a markedly Indian community start to evolve. 

Indians have featured prominently in the development of Singapore, though not always out of choice: from 1825 onwards, convicts were transported from the subcontinent and by the 1840s there were more than a thousand Indian prisoners labouring on buildings such as St Andrew’s Cathedral and the Istana. Today, migrant Tamil and Bengali men labour to build the island’s MRT stations, shopping malls and villas, and on weekends they descend on Little India in their thousands, making the place look like downtown Chennai or Calcutta after a major cricket match.

The district’s backbone is Serangoon Road, dating from 1822 and hence one of the island’s oldest roadways. Its southwestern end is a kaleidoscopic of Indian life, packed with restaurants and shops selling everything from nose studs and ankle bracelets to incense sticks and kumkum powder (used to make the red dot Hindus wear on their foreheads). 

Here you might even spot a parrot-wielding fortune-teller – you tell the man your name, he passes your name onto his feathered partner, and the bird then picks out a card with your fortune on it. To the southeast, stretching as far as Jalan Besar, is a tight knot of roads that’s good for exploration. Parallel to Serangoon Road is Race Course Road, at whose far end are a couple of noteworthy temples.

It looks so nice when the night time that you can see picture above. And it is very nice view.

Nightlife in Clarke Quay is what this party hub of Singapore is really famous. Dazzling lights, beautiful people and buzzing nightclubs – these are some of the things that imprint themselves on your mind the first time you visit Clarke Quay, Boat Quay and a kaleidoscope of concept bars and pubs along the Singapore River. A mind-boggling selection of themes and attractions round out your choice of after-sunset indulgence.

Originally a centre of commerce along the Singapore River, Clarke Quay is nowadays a labyrinth of restaurants, concept bars, retail stores and recreation outlets. Try Bar Cocoon or Bamboo Bar at The Forbidden City, Lunar Asian Fusion Bar for great shows, or Bar Opiume at the Empress Place by the riverside and then Attica or Canvas for an after-hours rave.

This comprehensive Clarke Quay nightlife section has all the best bars, pubs and clubs to hit - don't forget to check out our 'Top 10 nightlife in Clarke Quay' guide too.

There are many nice places in Singapore and I will share about Chinatown that it becomes more and more attractive place.

Chinatown, with its colourful Peranakan shop-houses and handful of historical attractions, makes for a pleasant stroll. It is divided into four main districts, namely Kreta Ayer, Telok Ayer, Tanjong Pagar and Bukit Pasoh, but the centre of activities revolves around Smith and Pagoda Streets. Chinatown offers a lot more than just the restored shops and ethnic places of worship, such as the old Hokkien temple Thian Hock Keng, Sri Mariamman Hindu Temple and James Mosque, it’s a haven for hawker food lovers.

There’s also a good mix of hotels here, from heritage shop-house hotels to five-star luxury boutique accommodation. The Chinatown MRT Station brings you to the doorstep of Pagoda Street.

I will share about a place located in Australia and most people around the world already know and want to visit and used to visit there.

 We already know where is Sydney when we talk about Sydney city that located in Australia. Sydeny is the most great city and famous place in Australia.

There are many becautiful places to visit and more people around the world come and visit Sydney in Australia. 

Sydney, Australia is the largest city and tourism place that more people keep increasing come to visit this great city. 

Sydney is the great place and become more popular place that attract more visitor come and come every year and generate million dollars every year. If you have a chance to visit Australia, don't forget to come to Sydney and see more great view as we share some pictures.

When we see these pictueres, I believe the readers will think to go someday to see these great place. There are more great place that can see when you are here in Sudney and will experience many thing in the great city.

For those who want to get away from – and above – the city and a little closer to nature, the Southern Ridges is a great place to explore. As a bonus, you will also get one of the best panoramic views of the city, harbour and the Southern Islands.

The Southern Ridges is a 10-kilometre stretch of green open spaces spanning the hills of some of Singapore’s most popular parks and gardens, connected by picturesque ridges and pathways.

Imagine walking across a bridge 36-metres above the road connecting two hilltops. You can perform this exhilarating high-wire act at Henderson Waves, a distinctive wave-like structure consisting of a series of undulating curved 'ribs', also Singapore’s highest pedestrian bridge.

The Southern Ridges is made up of Mount Faber Park, Telok Blangah Hill Park, HortPark, Kent Ridge Park and Labrador Nature Reserve.

Bird-watching enthusiasts will be able to catch their favourite creatures in their natural habitat along these trails, while photographers will never run out of picture opportunities of the beautiful flora and fauna found here.

Themed as the "Play Centre in the West", West Coast Park is a large regional park located in the southwest of Singapore. A linear park comprising 50 hectares of park land, the park runs parallel to West Coast Highway.

Standing at the centre core of Area 3 is the Adventure Play Area that caters to people of different age groups, from toddlers to young adults. This is the heart and most active zone of West Coast Park. If you like a quiet and peaceful environment, the eastern portion at Area 1 would be a good choice for park users to rest and relax. The western portion of the park has been transformed into a haven for park visitors who enjoy challenging and adventurous activities.

Singapore has an estimated 23,000–28,000 species of terrestrial organisms and 12,000–17,000 marine organisms, making up over 40,000 kinds of non-microbial organisms.

Some groups are more easily discernible, with very accurate species counts. We have recorded a total of 404 species of birds and at least 2,172 native vascular plants, of which 384 and 1,416 species respectively are still found in Singapore. In contrast, the diversity of life in freshwater and marine habitats is less, especially the smaller aquatic organisms, on the numbers of bacteria, fungi and single-celled organisms in Singapore.

Singapore’s native species were thriving even before the arrival of man or flourished after coming from elsewhere in the region under their own powers of dispersal. A continuing process, colonisation brings new species, either temporarily or permanently to Singapore.

Examples include the introduced or ‘alien’ species that are accidentally or deliberately brought in by humans such as exotic pets, food materials, soil, or escaped or released wildlife. These ‘aliens’ often compete with native species, and can cause significant damage while others can be benign or even beneficial. However, the effects are normally only realised many years later, making it too late to introduce any preventive measures.

Singapore is responsible for the conservation and good management of its native flora and fauna. This is especially true of our endemic species, which are unique to the country. Scientists and naturalists contribute sightings and other information that help to evaluate the status of animal species, indicating where conservation actions are needed to assist threatened and endangered wildlife.
