Best time to travel: Singapore is suitable for traveling all year round. Probably the best time is winter, when it’s drier and the temperatures are cooler. In summer, the temperature is relatively high and it often rains.

Meals, accommodation, transportation, local food introduction:

Singapore is a multi-ethnic country, so you can taste delicacies, snacks and pastries of all ethnic groups in Singapore.

Fried kway teow looks inconspicuous, but it is missed by many people.

It contains rice noodles, noodles, fresh clams, fish cakes, and vegetables.

Laksa

A must-try Nanyang flavor. The main ingredients are rice noodles, a soup made with various spices and coconut milk, served with fresh clams and special spicy sauce. After eating it, I was deeply impressed.

Hotel accommodation recommendations:

Although Chinatown Chinatown is not as clean and luxurious as other places in Singapore, it is not far from the Singapore River and it is very pleasant to walk along the river at night. There are many bars with bright lights and convenient transportation. Among the budget hotels, Hotel 81 and A Travelers’ Rest Stop are more famous.

Little India is similar to Chinatown Chinatown. Although it is not luxurious, Serangoon Road (Serangoon), where hotels are concentrated, is also very lively and convenient for travel. Among the budget hotels, Fragrance Backpackers Hostel and Hangout Mt Emily are more famous.

Transportation:

Airplane

Singapore is the aviation center in Southeast Asia connecting Europe, America and Oceania, with routes reaching 54 countries (regions) and 127 cities. . From Beijing, Guangzhou, Xiamen, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Shantou, and Hefei in China (opened on August 28, 2010, the flight mission is performed by Hainan Airlines. From Dalian to Hefei and then to Singapore, there are two flights per week, now Special offer) and other cities can fly directly to Singapore. Singapore Changi International Airport is one of the busiest airports in the world and one of the largest airports in Southeast Asia.

The plane departed from Hangzhou, stopped in Fuzhou, and flew to Singapore. Xiamen Airlines, a 737 aircraft, is small, the food on board is not good, and the entertainment only shows a few old-fashioned movies. Choosing this flight is purely from Hangzhou, which is the most convenient.

Local transportation

Subway

Singapore’s subway is still very developed. It now has the East-West Line (green), the North-South Line (red), and the Northeast Line (purple). ), circle line (yellow) and so on. Moreover, each subway station has a numerical number. It is recommended to memorize the numerical number when doing homework, so that when taking the subway, you only need to recognize the number, and you don’t have to worry about such a long list of English station names (after all, there are many station names) They are all in Malay or Indian, I don’t know what they mean). Maybe it's because there are so few people in Singapore. The subway trains are not very frequent. During peak hours, they run every 5 or 6 minutes, and sometimes even every 15 minutes. After all, it is still different from the domestic ones.

For subway tickets, remember that "EZ-Link" is a transportation card, which can be purchased at the airport subway station. 12 Singapore dollars each, 5 of which is a non-refundable handling fee. You can refund the card at the airport when you are leaving. You can also take this bus. And they all have discounts. What should I do if I run out of money? Go to the ticket vending machine at any subway station to recharge. There are Chinese instructions. Just follow the prompts. It is very convenient. Each recharge must be 10 new coins or a multiple of 10 coins.

When taking the subway, make sure there is a balance of 3 yuan on your EZ-Link card. If you don't have it, you will not be able to enter the subway station and you will be asked to top up.

Bus

There are many buses in Singapore, but please note that all the stop names are in English. This is a big test. Paying based on mileage, it is very convenient to swipe the card. Just swipe it once when you get on the bus, get off the bus and swipe it again. If you don’t have a card to buy a ticket, just ask the driver and he will tell you how much it costs, usually 1 yuan or a few cents, so be sure to have change ready.

If you want to get off the bus, you must press the get off button on the bus to prompt the driver. If no one presses it and there is no one waiting for the bus at that station, the driver will just stop and stop.

The bus stop will not be announced, so you have to keep an eye on it at all times. What I do is write down the name of the penultimate stop before the destination you want to go to. Once you see this stop, you can prepare.
