Sentosa Palawan Beach - Singapore

The size of Singapore compared to its neighboring countries is way too small. However, its economy is one of the strongest in the world. Its mixed culture, rich economy, man-made wonders, or modern skyscrapers for that matter does not make Singapore a great nation alone. It's beaches, though not that famous, are things people like to experience as they can be weekend getaways and great escape after all in a days work.

One such place that is ideal for relaxation while watching the sunset is Palawan Beach. Its suspension boardwalk leads you to Southernmost Point of Continental Asia, known as the closest point to the Equator in Asia. The tall shady coconut trees scattered around the place makes the place even more fascinating.

Local bars are something not to be missed. If you are into some chatty atmosphere, make your way down to Club Islander, Singapore's first beach club. Or if you prefer a different ambiance where French and Latin Jazz goes all night, have a look at Bora Bora Beach Bar.

The list of activities while being at Palawan Beach is endless. And oh, just for the record, The Philippines has a province called Palawan which is considered to be the last frontier. Did you know that? Bet not!

Jurong Falls - Singapore

The tallest man-made or artificial waterfall in the world is Jurong Falls which is standing at 30 meters high within the African Waterfall Aviary at Jurong Bird Park in Singapore. It looks very natural and does not come close to being artificial.

The various species of free-flying birds that roam freely with their different colors are like rainbow that moves. The different species of plants found in the area and the sound of the water plunging down are also relaxing. As Wikipedia puts it "The water plunges over the top of a towering cliff at a rate of140 liters (31 imp gal) per second. The water is recirculated through a meandering stream, that cascades down over a series of levels". Coolness!

The Waterfall Aviary Area is an ideal nesting ground for birds, plants and other living creatures. If you are into bird watching, this is the place to be.

Also, the Jurong Falls is just but one of the things you can enjoy at the park. There are several more which will take your breath away. Visit Singapore and have a first hand experience of its wonders.
