Wanna explore the city? Try riding using Singapore’s multitude of bike rental apps such as, SGBike or Anywheel. Prices start from $1.00 for the first 30 minutes for both apps so you aren’t limited to just one type of bike no matter which part of Singapore you may find yourself at. All it takes is some memory space that is being used on your phone. It’s a cheap way to explore Singapore’s landscape and can be great fun with friends too!

Street Art Trail In Singapore
This city has more to offer than meets the eye. There are lots of Insta-worthy urban artworks that steal our breath away among our gleaming skyscrapers and soaring metal cranes. There are still some things about our tiny city that could surprise you, from graffiti hiding in plain sight to pieces buried in the backstreets. One that I highly recommend you check out is the unique street art at Chinatown. Best of all it doesn’t cost you a cent (if you exclude transport fee that is)!

Explore Haw Par Villa
This incredible place was founded in the 1930s by the Haw Par brothers of Tiger Balm as a method to teach the public about the morals principles of Chinese mythology. The park is brimming with life-size sculptures and dioramas reflecting numerous Chinese legends. Despite the fact that the park has begun to show its age in recent years, the representation of the “Ten Courts of Hell” is worth a visit on its own.
