This route through Singapore in 3 days It will take us to know Chinatown, one of the best-known neighborhoods in the city and of course, one of the essential places to see in Singapore that we are safe, will surprise you and hook you in equal parts.

Today we start the day a little earlier than usual in this Singapore in 6 days to work a little and take advantage of the infinity pool of the Marina Bay Sands, our accommodation in Singapore these days.
We are very lucky that the sky is very clear so after finishing what we had pending work, while enjoying the views of the room from the 54th floor, we went up to the infinity pool and took a couple of hours of relaxation , which we enjoy with a breakfast on the sun loungers, for 25SGD.

Infinity pool at Marina Bay Sands

With the batteries already charged to start the Singapore route in three days, at 9:30 a.m. and after a shower, we leave Marina Bay Sands, with a small change of plans that will take us first to tour the entire area around the hotel, on a circular route of about 4 kilometers, to be able to see other perspectives of the hotel during the day and learn more about the places that surround it.

Event Plaza: This is the place where we recommend you start the route, which is the same from which you can see the Spectra show we saw last night after the route through Singapore in 2 days.
Singapore Museum of Art and Science: Known for being one of the most incredible museums in the city and the world, the Museum of Art and Science is another of Singapore's essentials. We visited him on the route through Singapore in one day, but if he didn't give you time or did another itinerary, this may be a good time to meet him.

Singapore Museum of Art and Science

Helix Bridge: For us, one of the most spectacular bridges we have ever seen. With a design that mimics the structure of DNA and several viewpoints, from which you can see the skyline of Singapore and the Marina Bay Sands, on the opposite side, this is one of the walks you can not miss.

Helix Bridge

Esplanade - Theaters on the Bay: Inaugurated in 2002, the Esplanade Opera Theater is another of the city's icons, not only for what it represents for the city, but also for its daring architecture, in which two domes stand out with more than 7000 panels that have earned the nickname "durian" for its resemblance to the famous fruit.

Esplanade

Merlion: Half lion and half fish, this sculpture is the image of Singapore and one of the areas you cannot miss in the city. We were the first time, when we arrived from the airport, the first day of the trip to Singapore and we can only recommend that you make a visit during the day and then at night, as it changes completely.
The Promontory:
This is the area where Singapore's famous lyrics "Dream" are located. If you only want to come here and stay at the hotel, it is best to arrive on the opposite side, since it is much closer. If you have time, we recommend you to make the complete detour to be able to enjoy several perspectives of the skyline and the hotel, in addition to this area with the lyrics.
In addition, from here you can continue the Singapore route in 3 days approaching Chinatown, less than 2 kilometers.

Dream Singapore

We leave you the map with the route to follow around the hotel, from which you will have different perspectives of one of the most famous areas of the city and one of the most famous hotels in the world.

After taking the whole walk of almost 4 kilometers, which takes us about an hour and a half, including all the stops we take to take pictures and enjoy the views, we continue with the Singapore in three days, making way to Chinatown, one of the city's best known neighborhoods, from which its heart, is located less than 2 kilometers from where we are.

Chinatown, one of the neighborhoods to travel on the route through Singapore in 3 days

Divided into 4 districts, Chinatown is one of the best known neighborhoods in Singapore, where in addition to all the places of interest, you can enjoy its excellent cuisine that also includes the cheapest Michelin-starred restaurant in the world.
Created in 1821 in the southern part of the river by a group of men from Xiamen, it is a neighborhood that highlights the cultural variety, visible not only in its inhabitants, but also in many of its buildings that coexist with respect despite their religious and cultural differences.

Buddha Tooth Relic Temple

Known for being the place where one of the tooth-shaped Buddha relics is located, this is one of the places we recommend visiting in Chinatown.

Buddha Tooth Relic Temple

Al Abrar Mosque, Jamae Mosque and Sri Mariamman Hindu Temple

Located on the same street and next to each other, this image is one of the signs that in Singapore all religions live together in peace. Although you do not visit its interior, we recommend you approach this street to also know another perspective of Chinatown.

Chinatown

Pagoda Street

Without a doubt, one of the best known streets of Chinatown and therefore, one of the visits that you can not miss in the neighborhood. It is here that you will be aware that you have reached the Chinatown of Singapore since it will be the red lanterns that welcome you accompanied by shops, restaurants and smells that evoke the most authentic China.

Smith Street or Food Street

Next to Pagoda Street is this street known as Food Street where there are countless food stalls and restaurants where you can continue tasting Chinese cuisine.
The curiosity of this street is that you can see the stalls to the right of the street and the tables to sit right on the opposite side.

Smith Street or Food Street

Maxwell Food Center

This is one of the most famous food courts in Singapore. If you are in the area at lunchtime, it is worth a stop as some of the most famous food stalls in the city are located.

Thian Hock Keng Temple

Although it is not the best known temple in Singapore, we recommend you spend a few minutes at Thian Hock Keng, the place to which the locals will thank the Goddess of the Sea for having had a safe and safe journey.
As an extra curiosity, it is said that the temple is built without using a single nail.

The cheapest Michelin star restaurant in the world

If you are a gastronomy lover, your route through Singapore in 3 days will probably include a visit to this restaurant. Known for being the cheapest Michelin star in the world, Soy Sauce Chicken Rice & Noodles has managed to be one of the most frequented restaurants thanks to the chicken served by its chef, Chan Hon Meng for only 3.80SGD.
Although we are not much less experts, we have to say that after the experience, we do not understand the reason very well since it is not a place to which we would return either for food or especially for cleaning.
That said, as a curiosity, it is worth a visit.

Soy Sauce Chicken Rice

After practically two hours touring the Chinatown neighborhood, we make a stop on the Singapore route in 3 days, approaching the Soy Sauce Chicken Rice & Noodles, the cheapest Michelin Star restaurant in the world, where we eat your star dish, the marinated chicken, for 3.80SGD each.
As we discussed earlier, although as curiosity and experience it can be interesting, if you only look gastronomyAt least to us, Liao Fao's restaurant has not convinced us.

Chinatown neighborhood in Singapore

After this stop and tour again the most famous streets of Chinatown, which take us to Pagoda Street and Food Street, where we have coffee in one of its premises, it is 5 in the afternoon when we leave the neighborhood, to continue the route of the Singapore in three days heading to Boat Quay, where we were yesterday and where we enjoyed a ride and the evening-night atmosphere, which yesterday, when we went sooner, we couldn't see.

Boat quay

With the idea of finishing the route through Singapore in 3 days again watching the night show at Gardens by the Bay, we decided to approach DePizza, one of the most recommended restaurants in the city where we ordered a cheese pizza and a pepperoni pizza more Beer and water for 55SGD that become one of the best pizzas we have eaten since we were traveling in Rome a few months ago.

And so, after a most enjoyable dinner and a walk through Boat Quay, we approach to Gardens by the Bay where from one of the viewpoints, we return to see the light and sound show for later, return to the Marina Bay Sands, where we ended this day in Singapore in 3 days, taking a dip in the infinity pool, with stunning views of the city skyline.
