Singapour
Singapour is an island city-state off the coast of southern Malaysia. This global financial center is blessed with a tropical climate and a multicultural population. Its colonial heart is centered on the Padang, an 1830s locust land surrounded today by towering buildings like the City Hall, adorned with 18 Corinthian columns. Singapore\'s Chinatown, which dates back to around 1820, features the red and gold Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, believed to contain one of Buddha\'s teeth.
