- Forest City Johor  - Tuas Second Link  - Raffles Marina Lighthouse - Dubbed as one of the best spots to watch beautiful sunset in Singapore, from the pier at Raffles Marina Yacht Club, the  panoramic view of  a number of iconic structures standing against the radiant evening sky can be enjoyed without blockage.

The pier is 2-3 minutes walking distance from Tuas Link MRT station, the last stop of the East-West MRT Line at the western end of the island. It is open to the public.

 Christ Church & The red-radiant sky Christ Church & The sunrise watchers  The popular image of the Red Square is that of  the Christ Church 's bold red facade sparkles in sharp  contrast   against the bright  blue  Malacca sky. However, there is another look of the building that is more interesting and stunning. It can only be seen when the sun casts a reddish glow in the misty sky at dawn. At that moment, what will be revealed is a dramatic urban landscape of transcendental beauty - a scene evocative of the feeling of the sublime. Metal cage & the revealing shadow: Metal cage at St. Paul Cathedral A ray of sunlight shines through the round arch opening into the inner chamber of St. Paul Cathedral. The shape of the shadow casted on the floor is indistinguishable in the beginning. However, the shadow gradually transforms itself into an intricate lattice pattern that finally encircled a metal cage at its center as the sun moves. The final sh...

Old Chasms + New Visions    Kuching City Center: The layback characteristic and easy-going charm of the City Center of Kuching, Sarawak is still very much alive despite of its ambitious developmental push for modernization in recent years, an outcome largely due to its urban planning strategy that is culturally inclusive and progressive, that keeps its multifaceted traditions and development outlooks in delicate balance, that welcomes modernization with indigenous pride and confidence.   As can be seen in some of the recent urban redevelopments like the on-going Kuching River Waterfront project, the new Borneo Cultural Museum, the Mural Paintings on the walls of traditional shop houses etc., great sensitivity has been exercised to carefully recreate a new City Center that embraces traditions and modernity with cultural, environmental and technological appropriateness.
