Suntec city mall is a shopping centre opened in 1995 in Singapore, located within the Marina Centre subzone of the Downtown Core Planning Area. together with initial phases of the Suntec City development, it was the largest shopping centre in Singapore with 888,000 square feet (82,500 m2) of retail space until the opening of VivoCity in 2006. It also offers a club house called the Suntec City Guild House located on the fifth storey.

This is one of the famous sites of tourism in Singapore. Many tourists visit that place when as they are attracted to the famous fountain of wealth constructed in Suntec City
The Fountain of Wealth appears like a golden ring in the palm of the hand. As the fountain is made of bronze, it is believed that the balance of metal and water paves the way for success. Further, the specially selected Chinese name, 新达, means "new achievement"
Tourist can also do a lot of shopping in this shopping mall as it provides a variety of shops.

  4. I agree with Vi Chien that this is a human-made attraction. Being one of the largest fountains in the world, one must definitely visit this bronze wonder if in Singapore. Its location in the bustling Central Business District also increases accessibilty to the fountain as well as its accompanying shopping centre.
