Five 'A' Approach to Travel and Tourism

Attractions
Cultural:
Singapore Flyer- This is the largest observation wheel in the world! Built over a three-story terminal building, the Flyer is 150 metres in diameter, 165 metres high, and travels at 0.21m per second. This structure has attracted millions of tourists to Singapore for chance of riding the Flyer.
Asian Civilizations Museum-  What once used to be a Empress Place Building named in honour of Queen Victoria, this museum holds ten thematic galleries that explore the traditional aspects of Asian culture, religion and civilization. With beautiful and well currated artifacts from Southeast Asia, China, India, Sri Lanka and Turkey the ACM is a must see while in Singapore.
Chinatown/ Little India - These are the best places to start learning about Singapore’s Chinese/Indian culture and history. At these ethnic enclaves you’ll experience a mix of heritage, by visiting museums, shopping and tasting a variety of delicious foods.

Biophysical:
Singapore Zoo- the zoo is the first in the world to offer tourists the experience of going on a night safari tour with an optional buffet at the end, or a morning tour with an optional jungle breakfast amonst orangutans.

Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve- Home to various species of butterflies, mud skippers and lizards, this natural park attracts many tourists interested in bird watching, aquaculture and fish farming. 
Singapore Botanic Gardens- A national landmark and is also the only few pieces of original jungle left in Singapore. It features a small tropical rainforest, a ginger garden and an orchid garden. The gardens are known to hold more than 300 types of flora with the tallest trees standing about 40 metres high.

Access
In Singapore the methods I would use of getting around are taking the Mass Rapid Transit system (MRT), taking a taxi, or simply walking.
