After decades of development, the CBD in Singapore has become an area with many tall office buildings. These buildings comprise the skyline along the coast of Marina Bay and Raffles Place. The three tallest buildings in Singapore, namely Republic Plaza, UOB Plaza One and OUB Centre, are all 280 metres in height due to building restrictions.
On the foreground of this image are large cargo ships anchored a few kilometers off the coast. Slightly off the center(to the top of it), is Singapore's financial district and the Marina Bay. Near the top left is Singapore's seaport -- the world's busiest. To the left of it, cut off by the side of the frame is Singapore's resort island -- Sentosa.
First the bridge. Now, the train. Entrance to singapore's resort Island - Sentosa. Sentosa Island is singapores southernmost area, and part of the island is actually regarded as the southernmost tip of the Asian Peninsula.
Songs of the Sea is a multi-sensory spectacular with dramatic effects, engaging music, pyrotechnics and a live cast.
Songs of the Sea is a stellar combination of technology, imaging and live characters. Lights, lasers, fire effects and water jets create a stunning visual feast together with striking computer images projected on giant water screens. The attraction is unique because there are no barriers between the show and the natural elements.
The centerpiece of the show is a specially built 120m long kelong (fishing village in Malay) structure. The structure itself is a work of art wherein it truly resembles original Asian fishing village huts. Using modern inflammable materials, it is built to withstand roughest of weather conditions including strong winds, waves and high tides.
The different technological elements of Songs of the Sea that make it a not-to-be-missed extravaganza include a 40m high giant water screen flanked by two slightly smaller water screens, 69 water jets reaching as high as 40m, flames leaping up to 20m and lasers using the latest diode technology. The most remarkable logistics aspect of the show, however, is the daily display of pyrotechnics. The attraction runs two shows every night, 365 days a year. The open-air styled viewing gallery can comfortably seat 2,500 visitors. Each show lasts 25 minutes.
Penguin Expedition: There are more than 200 penguins living in this exhibit. The five species on exhibit are the Humboldt, the Rockhopper, the Macaroni, the Fairy and the King Penguin. Visitors can have a panoramic view of the birds 'flying' underwater.
Also in one of the show perfomed, this kind of bird can sing view songs in Mandarin and even Bahasa. |
