Ultra-sophisticated, Singapore is the only place in the world that is a city, a state, and an island. Sang Nila Utama, a prince from Palembang, named the island of Singapura, which means "Lion City" in Sanskrit, after seeing a creature he thought was a lion. Comprised of Malaysians, Chinese, Indians and Europeans, Singapore is diverse in its culture, and richly varied in its heritage, culture, art and architecture. Known as Southeast Asia's "City in a Garden" because of the many skyscrapers with vertical gardens, and home to an incredible number of sizeable parks and green spaces.
