From Singapore to China: Explore the Diverse wonders of Asia


SINGAPORE

 

Singapore is a fascinating city-state that boasts an impressive blend of cultures, mouthwatering cuisine and awe-inspiring architecture, despite being one of the smallest countries in the world. Immerse yourself in Singapore’s melting pot of cultures by exploring the colourful streets of Kampong Glam, to the aromas of Little India and vibrant Chinatown. The “Lion City”, as it’s often referred to, impresses visitors with its futuristic skyline that is adorned with architectural marvels like the Singapore Flyer, and the Esplanade.

An iconic gem that encapsulates both Singapore’s innovative architecture and lush green spaces is the breathtaking Gardens by the Bay. A peaceful night’s stay awaits you at M Hotel Singapore City Centre, just a short 5-minute drive from the serene gardens. Situated in the heart of the city, it is the perfect location to base yourself from during your stay in Singapore. A 5-minute walk takes you to Lau Pa Sat Food Centre where you can enjoy local dining delights, and Chinatown is a 15-minute stroll away. Enjoy the outdoor swimming pool where you can bask under the sun, and head to J Bar for drinks to wind down at the end of the day.

SUZHOU

 

Suzhou is a city renowned for its picturesque beauty and intriguing cultural heritage. It offers travellers a captivating glimpse into classical China. Suzhou is often referred to as the “Venice of the East” due to its intricate network of canals, exquisite gardens and charming water towns. During your stay, be sure to visit the highly regarded Suzhou Museum designed by the architect of the famous Louvre Museum, Mr. I. M. Pei. Suzhou’s culinary scene is equally enticing, with local delicacies like “Squirrel-shaped Mandarin Fish” and “Suzhou-style Mooncakes”.

Exploring the city’s UNESCO World Heritage-listed classical gardens, such as the Humble Administrator’s Garden and the Lingering Garden, transports visitors to a realm of tranquility and elegance. Beyond the gardens and ancient streets, the newly opened M Social Hotel Suzhou offers a refreshing modern take as a luxury lifestyle hotel in the city centre. During your stay, enjoy a meal at Beast and Butterflies, which offers Suzhou an international cuisine. The hotel is a stone’s throw away from the beautiful Jinji Lake and a short distance from the scenic Baitang Ecological Botanical Garden. These meticulously designed green spaces showcase the harmonious blend of nature, architecture and artistry that Suzhou is celebrated for. Its traditional houses, temples and stone bridges offer a glimpse into the city’s historical past. From meandering through the canals on a boat to appreciating the delicate beauty of classical gardens or savouring the flavors of local cuisine, a journey to Suzhou is a step back in time and an opportunity to immerse oneself in the timeless charm of ancient China.
