Product Description

Synopsis

Singapore is a cosmopolitan city with towering skyscrapers and state-of-the-art buildings. Nestled within its modern architecture are vestiges of its British colonial past and its rich cultural history. From its sparkling new waterfront to its quaint shops and from its temples to its mosques and churches, Singapore is as multifarious architecturally as it is culturally. Architect G Byrne Bracken captures with its sketches the unique diversity that defines Singapore. Covering favourite places such as Chinatown, the Civic District and Orchard Road, this charming sketch-cum-guidebook will enrich your understanding of Singapore. This revised edition includes new drawings and texts for several sights in Singapore including Esplanade Theatres on the Bay and One Fullerton. Pertinent data such as phone numbers and URL addresses has also been dated. Three new maps have also been added to this new edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Very Clever Concept 31 Jan 2004
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
What a nice idea! Easy-to-follow walks through the different parts of the city, plenty of advice on what to see and do, as well as a wealth of architectureal and historical information, and all accompanied by delightfully hand drawn sketches by the author. A lovely, useful guide, and very pretty too. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars a gem of a book 1 Mar 2004
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This is a charming walking tour/guidebook that really enhanced my recent trip to Singapore. The layout of the book is easily accessible and the line drawings throughout are a beautiful touch. The walks themselves are well thought out and obviously meticulously researched and planned by the author himself. I especially liked the Did You Know? sections dotted throughout which contain little tidbits of unusual facts and information not often found in other guidebooks. This is definitely a must for any visitor who wants to see more than just the tourist side of the city. I highly recommend it. Also worth checking out are the other guidebooks in this series that do walking tours of Bangkok and Hong Kong.
