Universal Studios Singapore is a theme park located within Resorts World Sentosa on Sentosa Island, Singapore. The theme park has 7 different themed areas and some of the most thrilling rides around.

After lunch, you will visit Chinatown, another area that exemplifies the racial harmony of Singapore. Singapore’s historic Chinatown is a bustling mix of old and new, filled with traditional shops and markets as well as cool stores and cafes. The cramped five-foot ways, dingy alleys and raucous street hawkers are relics of Chinatown’s past. Yet, pockets of history remain in Chinatown, along with more modern sights.

Thereafter, paint the town red and hit up Clarke Quay, Singapore’s most vibrant nightlife hotspots. If you are looking for a drink at the bar, you are guaranteed to find something that suits you. There are many cafes and restaurants in the area, promising an enjoyable night.
