Many of us can’t wait to hop on a plane for a quick getaway and finally unwind after 2 years of restrictions. With the relaxation of the procedures and testing requirements for the Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) between our country and Singapore, The Lion City is now a prime vacay destination for Malaysians.
Since the pandemic, Singapore has launched a slew of new attractions, ranging from immersive museums to outdoor sports activities like water biking and go-karting – all of which are eagerly awaiting visitors. So put these 8 newly-launched sites and activities on your must-see and do list while in Singapore:
SkyHelix Sentosa
This open-air gondola will provide you with front-row seats to a panoramic view of Sentosa and the surrounding waterfront, from 35 meters above the ground if you’re a sucker for a good view. Each ride lasts 12 minutes, including two minutes of ascent and descent and ten minutes at the top when the gondola slowly rotates to give you a bird’s eye perspective of your surroundings. So sit back, relax, and sip some refreshments while enjoying the scenery.
The good news is, unlike roller coasters, phones are permitted onboard, allowing you to take as many pictures as you want for Instagram. At SkyHelix Sentosa, swivel your feet to get a 360º view of Sentosa.
