: Recommended attractions in Singapore

1. Sentosa Island

Sentosa Island Map

Sentosa is worth spending at least one day Time to watch and play. If you only have one day in Sentosa, take the best of it. After a hearty meal in the morning, you can start your entertainment trip at Resorts World Sentosa. After having fun at Universal Studios (which can take a full day) and the aquarium, you can walk all the way to Sentosa's 3.2 kilometers of beach and relax. There is Siloso Beach here (the sand is very fine, perfect for enjoying beautiful sunsets). We played until 7:30 and watched a famous performance of "Wings of Time". This was the end of a perfect day trip.

2. Universal Studios

This is a must and really fun. It can be seen from the facilities that so much money was not wasted. The project is mainly for entertainment with less stimulation. If girls like to take pictures, there are too many scenes for you to take, and you must have fun.

The most exciting project: the red and blue roller coaster. Red roller coaster ride on cars. The track doesn't flip over, but it climbs significantly and descends quickly. The blue roller coaster is similar to a suspension, and the track has several turns, so it is more exciting.

The most fun item: It must be Transformers, because we went on the weekend and there were so many people! However, I bought an express ticket in advance. It’s really witty, hahaha, so I played Transformers three times. The game uses a 3D high-definition script, combined with special effects and robotics technology. We boarded a scooter and were taken to the battlefield between Autobots and Decepticons, and our hearts and eyes were violently impacted by their transformation.

Address: 8 Sentosa Gateway, Singapore 098269 Opening hours: 10:00 to 19:00 How to get there: Take the Sentosa Express from Vivocity, or walk along the boardwalk, or take the cable car from Harbourfront.

Tips:

1. When visiting Universal Studios, be sure to avoid statutory holidays unless you buy express tickets. If a girl has long hair and wants to play some thrilling events, it is recommended to tie her hair up if she doesn’t want to be dumped like Mei Chaofeng. It is best not to wear short skirts. It’s okay to run naked.

2. Universal Studios also has various performances. Check the time in advance so you don’t miss it.

3. Sentosa Beach

From the entrance to the right is SilosoSileso Beach, and to the left is Palawan Beach.

The sand on the beach is white, and the sand on Siloso Beach feels more delicate. The color of the sea water is divided into three layers, from light yellow to blue to green, which is particularly beautiful. Palawan Beach feels quieter. After walking across the suspension bridge, I felt like I was in another world. I prefer Palawan Beach. Very beautiful.

Tip: Renting a Segway and playing on the beach is a great experience. Many Singaporean locals ride their balance bikes and play leisurely on the beach. It is safe when there are few people and it is flat.

4. An aquarium

It is indeed the largest aquarium in Asia! Families with children or friends who like marine life cannot miss it. There are many kinds of marine life, the design is well maintained, and the room is relatively cool, which is very suitable for afternoon play. This is a big aquarium. This is based on personal preference. Some people find it boring. If you like marine life, it’s quite nice. But several people in the same company were hungry and said they wanted to go back to eat fish for dinner. In addition, there was a 4D storm and shipwreck experience, which was also very good.

Tips:

1. The tour time is about two and a half hours. The indoor air conditioning is sufficient, so it is recommended to prepare coats in advance.

2. Note, don’t miss the Nyonya-style lunch before 2 pm. Oh, we'll miss it.

3. Try not to go on weekends and holidays. There are so many people.

If you think this is just a garden with nothing to see, you are totally wrong. . Personally, I think it deeply embodies Singapore's admiration for technology, uniqueness, small but exquisite.

7. Singapore Flyer

The Singapore Flyer is one of my favorite Ferris wheels. It is said to be the best in the world (or Asia). the most). However, the design is different from a regular Ferris wheel. Each box is embedded in a steel beam instead of hanging, so it will not shake. I'm not afraid of this acrophobia.

Singapore is located in the heart of Singapore and is the best place to watch the sunset at night. With stunning views of Marina Bay and towering skyscrapers, you can take in it all in 37 minutes. From Changi Beach to Sentosa Island, you can even enjoy the beautiful scenery of some islands in Malaysia and Indonesia.

8. Singapore Zoo

If the Beijing Zoo is at the kindergarten level, the Singapore Humanized Zoo must be a master's degree.

One of the unique features of the Singapore Zoo is that there are no cages, only a canal, a river or trees. Zoos create natural living environments for various animals, and visitors no longer condescend to watch lions, tigers, black bears, etc. Trapped in a pit.

After passing it, you will instantly understand: what is humanity, what is respect for animals, and the harmony between man and nature is wonderful.

9. Night Safari

It is said to be the first night zoo that can satisfy urbanites' curiosity about the wild jungle. The design of this zoo is very interesting. The fun is not in seeing animals, but in discovering them. In dim light, try to tell where and what the animal is.

The zoo is overcrowded at night, it can be said to be comparable to Universal Studios. After practice, I believe that the best sightseeing sequence is to walk through four trails after entering, have close contact with various nocturnal animals, and then watch a show at a certain time (on the right side of the entrance), and then take a few people on the sightseeing bus. The train route at night does not overlap with the walking route in the zoo, and the things you see are different. A short train trip takes more than 40 minutes.

Bibles in various languages ??are provided for people to read for free at every seat here. An old man is slowly sorting them out, very peacefully.

12. Gampang Genan

This is a gathering place for Muslims in Singapore. As a characteristic neighborhood in Singapore, it is naturally home to gourmet shops, and a variety of exquisite handicrafts and fragrances abound. Although it is a Muslim-inhabited area, here you can see gorgeous Indian saris, exquisite Nyonya costumes and unique orchid gold ornaments. Personally, I feel it is better than Little India, with fewer people, diverse architectural styles, and a fresh feel.

Mrbugis station is available. This is a Malay cultural area with the iconic Sultan Mosque (the largest mosque in Singapore), which can accommodate up to 5,000 Muslims to pray collectively in the mosque at the same time.

13. Chinatown

Niu Shui, in fact, its English name is Chinatown. It is also the Chinese district of Singapore. Niushui is very close to Karamay Pier, and it only takes about 10 minutes to walk. Here you can buy Mei Xiangzhen and Lin Zhiyuan’s butcher shops. Lin Zhiyuan's stores were few and unique, so the queues were long, so he had to choose Mei Zhenxiang, which had fewer queues. In addition, I went to visit a street stall, which is similar to the domestic small commodity market. Here, you can buy 12 refrigerator magnets for 10 Singapore dollars, which is not a little cheaper than souvenir shops. You can also see the largest Hindu temple in Singapore in Chinatown, which is even grander than the one in Little India. Take off your shoes when visiting. Indian temples and Buddhist temples are completely different styles. There is an original museum of Chinatown, hidden among a bunch of shops. It's worth taking the time to go in and have a look. You can go to the food court in Chinatown for dinner.

China Plaza Central Flea Market: Located in China Plaza, it is open on weekends and sells toys, handicrafts, art, old furniture, etc. This is the best place to find bargains. You can spend hours shopping and maybe you'll find a gem or two.

Smith Street: The best recommendation in Chinatown is this authentic open-air dining street. The best snacks are fish ball noodles, thin-skin rolls, fried noodles, carrot cakes and Rojak, etc.

Most stalls are open from 11:00 am to 23:00 pm, and the prices are very affordable.

14. Orchard Road

Cosmetics are still cheap in HK, and clothing is pretty good, but there are also domestic brands, and luxury goods seem to be more expensive than in HK. There is CK in Singapore, but there are no stores in other countries. It sells bags and shoes, super cheap. Three to four hundred is a good package and worth it!
