Summary

The fourth edition of the popular pictorial book contains over 120 new photographs with updates to existing places and also content on seven additional locations. These include the National Gallery, the National Stadium at the Sports Hub, the Asian Civilisations Museum extension, the Park Royal on Pickering Hotel. Also included are recently furbished spaces such as the Victoria Theatre and Concert Hall, Chijmes as well as the Capitol Singapore. As Singapore is constantly developing and changing, we have also included new photos for Pulau Ubin, The Esplanade, the Singapore Flyer as well as The Singapore Airlines F1 Grand Prix among others. Singapore is a truly cosmopolitan mix of East and West, past and present, and tradition and modernity. This is best seen in the many places showcased: from the majestic Marina Bay Sands Integrated Resorts to the stately, colonial-style buildings; from the dynamic pulse of the central business district to a tranquil stroll along the Southern Ridges Canopy Walk; and from the high-octane exhilaration of the Singapore F1 Grand Prix to the joyous festivities of the Chinese New Year. Filled with stunning photographs of Singapore’s vibrant yet harmonious blend of culture, cuisine, architecture, nature and the arts, Images of Singapore presents a panoramic look at the country, its people and their lifestyles. Images of Singapore is the perfect introduction for those keen on a visit to Singapore, and an excellent keepsake for tourists, locals and anyone with an eye for culture brought to life through the lens.
