Suntan City is a ring of high rise office blocks containing lower storey shopping malls surrounding the Fountain of Wealth.The Fountain of Wealth was in the Guinness Book of Records as the largest fountain in the world in 1989. At night it has laser shows which change colour. The fountain is surrounded by restaurants, some outdoors and indoors at ground level, others higher up to get a view.
Five office towers are easily reached from the nearby MRTs (train stations). The numbers of each of the towers are in large letters on the side of each building.
Can you see the numbers ONE on the block on the left? TWO is on the middle block. THREE is clearly on the block on the far right.
From underneath one of the blocks you can catch tours around Singapore in buses with guided commentary.
The office blocks and shopping malls all link up so you can go shopping or dining out on the way back home or to your hotel if you are a visitor. Remember which station you started at. I arrived at Promenade on one line, saw a sign to the MRT, went down to the platform, then discovered I was at a different station on another railway line.

Here's the top of the middle block.
Grass and large pots of plants are all around at ground level. Look up. Those two horizontal darker green lines on the block slightly to the left of the centre are trees.Do you see the number five on the block on the far left? The letters ON, almost obscured by the foreground block, stand for ONE and are just visible as you walk towards the distant block on the right.
