Beautiful Place Saffire Freycinet – Australia

Sure most people can relax on any old beach in front of any old hotel, but Saffire Freycinet, a soaring architectural and sustainable wonder, is the ultimate retreat for lovers of food, relaxation, and nature. The luxury  resort that just-opened on Tasmania’s East Coast in Australia, is reminiscent of a bird in flight or a stingray gliding across the seabed. Its organic roof is constructed of curved Tasmanian wood, and sits atop huge windows looking out to the low-lying coast.




Housing just 20 intimate suites, sustainability is an important amenity at Saffire. Though guests won’t miss a single thing in rooms that are modern-yet-cozy, and offer complementary mini bar. Yes, a complementary mini-bar. From your room you can soak up the breathtaking vistas, but the resort encourages you to see it all up close and personal too. Saffire offers a host of unique outdoor excursions, including bike tours, visits to the resort’s marine farm and camping adventures to experience the amazing nighttime sky.

World's Largest Fountain of Wealth in Singapore

This is the largest fountain in the world, with a base area of 1,683 sq. m. The fountain is a brilliant architecture’s work fused with modern concepts. It is anchored by a convention center – Suntec City that forms the wrist of the left hand. The five office buildings represent its thumb and fingers.




Four 13 m high bronze legs support a huge bronze ring measuring 21 m in diameter. It weighs a hefty 85 tones. The ring shoots water inwards into the reservoir below while at the heart of the fountain, water shoots up to 30 m into the air.
