About Singapore
Singapore is a city-state at the tip of the Malay Peninsula, where the country and its capital are one and the same. Perched beside one of the world's busiest shipping straits, this Southeast Asian island nation transformed from a colonial trading post into a gleaming financial hub. Its multicultural mix of Chinese, Malay, Indian, and expatriate communities is reflected in four official languages and one of the planet's most celebrated food scenes.
- Singapore's name derives from the Sanskrit for 'Lion City', though lions never lived there — legend says a visiting prince probably spotted a tiger.
- Beyond its main island, Singapore includes some 60 smaller islands and islets.
- The Rain Vortex at Singapore's Jewel Changi Airport is one of the tallest indoor waterfalls in the world, plunging about 40 metres.
