DESPITE having been placed in receivership last month (TTG Asia e-Daily, May 30, 2013, http://www.ttgasia.com/article.php?article_id=21093), the Singapore Flyer has captured the throne as Singapore's top landmark, while the Botanic Gardens was crowned Asia's number one park.

This was revealed in TripAdvisor’s inaugural Travellers’ Choice Attractions ranking, based on the quality and quantity of reviews on the TripAdvisor site.

With the Singapore Flyer in the top spot, the remaining nine Singapore landmarks are:

2. Orchard Road
3. Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and Museum
4. Singapore Cable Car
5. Bukit Brown Cemetery
6. Kranji War Memorial
7. Arab Street
8. The Helix Bridge
9. St Andrew’s Cathedral
10. Sultan Mosque

Other homegrown attractions also made a splash in regional lists: Universal Studios Singapore was ranked second among Asia’s top 10 amusement and water parks while the Asian Civilisations Museum took 12th spot in the list of top museums.

Regionally, Cambodia’s Angkor Wat was named the most iconic Asian landmark. The top five was rounded up by India’s Taj Mahal, Cambodia’s Bayon Temple, China’s Great Wall at Mutianyu in Beijing, and Myanmar’s Shwedagon Pagoda.

The complete list of 2013 Travellers’ Choice Attractions winners is available on TripaAdvisor’s website.
