Have you been to the Marina Bay hotel, the face of Singapore?
The Marina Bay Sands hotel is Singapore’s signature building. It is a grand hotel comprised of a large boat-shaped Skypark that is connected with three 57-floor buildings and a rooftop floor. The Skypark rooftop is the size of two soccer fields, from which you can enjoy the view of the entire city of Singapore. The Singapore Tourism Board introduces the Skypark as taller than France’s Eiffel Tower (about 300 meters) and longer than fourand-a-half airplanes.
Marine Bay hotel is the place every visitor to Singapore wants to see! This hotel was also made with the help of SsangYong, a Korean construction company, so it is a symbol of Korea and Singapore’s friendship.
There is also a symbol of Singapore’s traditional and modern culture called Peranakan. Today, you can easily find Peranakan designs in hotels, architecture, shops, restaurants, and streets all over Singapore. Peranakan refers to the descendants of foreign merchants married to local women.
Their mixed culture that is reflected in food, ceramics, clothing and performing arts has become representative of the culture of Singapore today. Similar to how Peranakan culture shows Singapore’s dream to become the world’s center of trade and finance, Korea also has something that shows their version of that dream.
Korea has the most efficient passageway that connects land and sea. With this, it has a political, geographical, and cultural advantage and will lead a worldwide economic cultural change.
