2009 Singapore-Indonesia Joint Issue - Tourist Attractions


This was released 28 October 2009, featuring tourist attractions. The 2 Indonesian spots are Singaraja City in Bali and the Beautiful Indonesian Miniature Park (Taman Mini Indonesia Indah). Singaraja City is represented by the Singa Ambara Raja statue, featuring a winged lion grasping an ear of corn. The Miniature Park is featured with an overview, seen from a cable car. The 2 Singapore scenes are found on the Sentosa Island, an integrated tourist spot, one showing the tourism mascot of Singapore, the Merlion, the other a view of the Central Lagoon, with a suspension bridge dividing it; the train is one of the means of transport to access the island from the main land.
