...my favourite sight is the Jurong Birds Park that is located north-west of Orchard Road (if you are not familiar with Singapore, Orchard Road is the main shopping area for tourists).
The Jurong Birds Park can be reached by bus or MRT (Singapore underground) but I suggest to us a taxi that is not expensive, it takes you directly to the entrance and can wait you as long as you like.
Some more advises.
You can visit the park by feet (walking) as I ... ...suggest a tour of the Jurong Birds Park to everyone who likes flora and fauna; to everyone who likes the wildlife, to everyone who likes to experience the jungle life without go to far away.
It will be a new experience. It will be an healthy day if you decide to walk instead to use the monorail. ...

Advantages: different type of exhibition, birds are cute as well Disadvantages: falling bird poo-poo in the open-air aviaries
The Jurong Bird Park, as its name ostentiably suggests, is located in Jurong as well. This bird park is home to probably the most number of species of birds around the world in the region's bird parks. It also boasts the highest man-made waterfall in asia, and maybe the world. I'm not too sure about that. But anyway, for all you bird-fans out there, you can visit it and enjoy the birds. There are bird shows that are held several times daily, and ... ...one. That's when the trainers take the birds of prey out and let them exhibit their hunting prowess to the audience. usually by throwing meat up in the air and letting them catch it. Me? Personally, I prefer owls. They look cuter and fluffier. And hence more fun to hug. It's easily accessible by train (Mass Rapid Transit) and bus. Alternatively, one can get a taxi, as it's cheap in Singapore as compared to London or Continental Europe. Entrance fees ...

Advantages: Nice to relax in Disadvantages: crowded in the evenings.
...Singapore is located in the Jurong area. This is a stretch of green with the Japanese garden and the Tuas Chinese City in Jurong. Jurong is the main industrial park in Singapore during the city planning stages in the early 1960s, but now there are other smaller industrial areas all over Singapore as well. In the middle of the chinese garden there's a chinese pagoda, much like the one in the English garden in Munich. And then again, most chiese pagodas ... ...as a location for a wedded couple to take their wedding photographs. Also, there is a nice pond in this garden where one can walk around and relax oneself after a long day's work. I believe buss route 66 still goes past the Chinese garden. Best of all, it's FREE!!! ...

Review of Jurong (Singapore)
Advantages: nice and soothing to visit Disadvantages: too many people at weekends
...Japanese garden is located in Jurong as well, next to its neighbour the Chinese garden. Many people prefer the japanese garden to the chinese garden because it looks nicer and the area is usually better suited for walks. Like the chinese garden, there are often people coming here for their wedding photos and for picnics in the early evening. Just have to put up with the mosquitoes during the rainy season!!! Bus route 66 also plies this area, I think, ...

Jurung is a industrial area as well as a tourist attraction. One of the tourist attraction that really attracts me is the Jurung Bird Park.
That is the best bird park that I have everseen. It is big and very well organised. I like the colourful and friendly parrots which are left in the open air, and they will not fly away! They are so faithful to their owner and they just perch on the low branches where you can touch them without any difficulty. ...
