This is Singapores latest and most talked about venue. It appears that Singapore is always under construction with improvements and this is no exception. The performing arts centre stands out from the crowd of building because of its "spiky" domes and the building is affectionately known as the "DURIANS", a spiky and pungent fruit which is also known as the "KING OF FRUITS" by your friendly local Singaporians.

Esplanade & Merlion are beautiful by night.
Take a look at the pic and you will agree.
You can take a nice stroll from the Esplanade to Fullerton Hotel. Hunt for the mini-merlion. Leave a Comment

You wont be able to miss this magnificant 2 dome shaped architecture on the bay near the Merlion Walk.
The Esplanade - Theatres on the bay building has a nickname which is "Durian" (King of the fruits). It is suppose to look like the a microphone.
The arts land food lover will love this place. It also houses many restaurants and the glutton bay where they serve all the local hawker fares is just next to it.
Look out for the "I WAS HERE" and take a picture ;p Leave a Comment

A beautifully designed unique architecture for the theatres and the art.
The "thorny" roofs of the buildings resemble the thorns of a popular local seasonal fruit called "durian". Hence it has been fondly called "Durian".
Even if you are not going to see a concert or recital, it is a great place to walk along the river promenade to see across the Fullerton and Merlion and city skyscrapper skyline.
At night, the place has an special glow about it.

The Esplanade is a theatre complex (not cinema) with restaurants and shops, too. It's located close to the City Hall MRT and connected to that station. The building looks like 2 durian fruit.
The name of the building is pronounced "esplan-ade" like "lemonaide", not "espla-nahd".
Often there is outdoor music being played between the Esplanade exit and the river. If you look closely toward the central business district, you will see the Fullerton Hotel (with it's columns) and the Merlion statue. Consider walking toward those sites from the Esplanade. Leave a Comment

Singapore is also becoming the most influentian city of culture in SE Asia.
This is a new theatre and concert house. it is located between the business and entertainment district on the one side and the old city on the other, at the point where the Singapore River flows into the open sea.
The building itself looks like a giant fly's eye or to me, it looks like a much-loved fruit in singapore - durian. Leave a Comment

This building was built for the purpose to gather performance arts together with exhibitions to be the biggest Arts theature in Singapore.... But to a scenic minded person like myself, it is a magnificent place to enjoy a nice breeze and a breath-taking view of SG's wonders, our harbor, Central Business District... our strong architectures and Sheares Bridge... n much more....
Its also a nice place to sit down n relax to nice music.., a great cup of coffee.. and a nice meal... after a day of heavy shopping at the City Hall area.... Leave a Comment

The merlion is just a short walk from the esplanade. Leave a Comment

After a busy day if you need to relax, have some good time with your beloved or just want to get rid of the stress, this is the best place in Singapore. U can enjoy theater or u can sit by the river. You will find peace over there. At night the real beauty comes out.
