Singapore Tourism Detailed Raiders 219 Latest Edition

Singapore is a very exquisite country, located at the mouth of Malacca Strait. Singapore is the only developed country in Southeast Asia, with a very high quality of life and environment, and is also a world-famous shopping, tourism and holiday resort. Here are some detailed strategies to share with you.

Singapore has concentrated scenic spots and convenient transportation, and TAXI is not very expensive. You don't need to consult a lot of strategies in advance, so you can easily visit the Lion City.

Three-quarters of Singapore's population are Chinese, and Chinese is fluent. Even Indian taxi drivers and Arab uncles who sell barbecues drag a few words of Chinese with you.

Singapore's diverse food culture can satisfy you. Malaysia, Indian hand-grabbed rice, Chinese bak Kut teh, and Singapore Chili crab ensure that you don't eat the same food every day!

Singapore has a variety of zoos, aquariums, water parks, theme parks, and Sentosa full of laughter, which ensures that the energetic troublemaker at home will have a good time! And all kinds of convenient and intimate supporting facilities also provide the greatest convenience for Bao Baba and Bao Ma.

Don't underestimate this pocket-sized country. Although it is only over 6 million square kilometers, the area is equivalent to a city as big as Chaoyang District and half of Fengtai District, it has incredible charm and attracts tourists from all over the world to visit again and again. Visa

Visa processing in Singapore is not expensive, and there are not many materials needed, but there are various strange regulations:

1.

Individual applications are not accepted. In order to improve the issuance efficiency, the Singapore Embassy and Consulate has simplified the issuance procedures. All visas are submitted by designated units/travel agencies, and individual applications are not accepted. You need to choose the corresponding consular district and the agency according to your permanent residence or passport issuing place.

2.

Submit the application one month before the trip. Singapore Embassy only accepts applications for materials submitted within 3 natural days before departure, and cannot submit materials in advance. As long as the materials are complete, the signing speed is very fast, and the results can usually be obtained within 3 working days.

3. flat fee 3 yuan. Since February 1st, 217, the Singapore visa fee has been uniformly fixed at RMB 3 yuan, including the visa fee of S $3 and the visa service fee charged by authorized travel agencies.

4.

Visa type spells personality. Although there is no difference between the delivery materials and the fees, the validity period and the number of entry depends entirely on the mood of the visa officer. The common validity period is roughly divided into 35-day single/multiple round trips, 63-day single/multiple round trips, and multiple round trips for half a year, one year and two years. Generally speaking, married people with big city hukou and stable jobs are more likely to get long-term visas.

5.

Single women hand in their signatures carefully. Because of the imbalance between men and women in Singapore, if older single young women hand in visas alone, the refusal rate is very high; On the contrary, high-quality single young men will get visas easily. If single women want to go to Singapore, it is recommended to hand in the visa with their parents or friends.

6. Singapore visa is electronic, and you need to print it yourself after you get the PDF version.

I personally applied for a Singapore visa twice. The first time was earlier, and I handed it in to the embassy myself. At that time, there were not many exit records. The second time was in 217, a travel agency found on a treasure; Both times easily won more than two years of round trips. Personally, Beijing hukou+married status is a great plus.

Candy is a foreign registered permanent residence, and she often travels to Singapore for work reasons. Every time she looks for a travel agency, she is given 35 days or 65 days. Later, the two of us applied for a visa together as husband and wife. It is estimated that we were touched by my light and actually got multiple round trips for two years.

My little girl at home went to apply for a visa alone. She is 2 years old and registered in Beijing. She provided our Singapore visas and some simple materials, and she easily won more than two-year round trips. The best travel season

is suitable all year round

Singapore is located near the equator, and the annual average temperature is between 23-31℃. There are no four seasons, only the difference between dry season and rainy season. December to March of the following year is the rainy season, with humid climate, usually with thunderstorms in the afternoon, and the average temperature is about 25℃. June to September is the dry season, and the climate is relatively dry, with an average temperature of about 3℃. Every year from April to May, and from October to November, the monsoon is alternating, the sun is very hot, and the highest temperature on the island can reach 35℃.

But even in the dry season, it rains almost every day, and every time it comes in a hurry, but it usually doesn't last long, about 15-3 minutes, so the season is not the main consideration. Go all year round if you want.

It is not recommended to visit Singapore during Christmas and Spring Festival. First, because it is the peak season, air tickets and hotels are more expensive. Second, during the Spring Festival, many Chinese shops will close and rest, so they can't enjoy themselves. Traffic Guide

External traffic planes

Beijing flies directly to Singapore, with Air China operating twice a day and Singapore Airlines operating three times a day.

Shanghai's direct flights to Singapore all start from Pudong Airport, and China Eastern Airlines and Singapore Airlines have four flights each day.

probably due to the fact that the visa can only be handed in one month before departure, many tourists are afraid to book air tickets before departure, so the price of booking air tickets in advance is particularly cheap. The direct flight of Singapore Airlines to Beijing is only 2,5 yuan, which is simply profitable!

subway MRTwww.smrt.com.sg

Taking the subway in Singapore is the most convenient and comfortable way to visit, with convenient lines, fast and convenient transfer and clean carriages, which is definitely the first choice for travel.

But the air conditioning on the subway is too full, so be sure to bring an extra coat.

Ticket price: .8-3 Singapore dollars

Although the Bus speed is slow, compared with the subway, it covers a wider area, has spacious space, has more seats and is cheaper.

The bus fare system is complicated. If you don't have a transportation card, be sure to consult the cost of getting to your destination before getting on the bus. The fare may be rounded off, so you can coin it yourself, and there is no change. If you have a transportation card, it will be more convenient. When you get on the bus, you will automatically deduct the highest cost of the whole line. When you get off the bus, you will brush it again, and the unused money will be automatically refunded.

Special reminder: When the bus enters the station, you need to wave to the driver to stop. Before getting off at the station, you need to press the red button next to the seat. If no one rings the bell and no one waves at the station, the bus will just stop. And most buses don't report to the station, and only some have electronic screens to display the name of the next station, which makes it easier to get off at the wrong station.

fare: .7-1.4 Singapore dollars without air conditioning; Air-conditioned car .8-1.7 How to choose a transportation card for SGD

1. Recharged card. Equivalent to Singapore's bus card, there are three kinds of cards: EZ-Link (Easy Pass Card), Nets

Flashpay, and KoolCard. The similarity of these cards is that the card fee of S $5 is non-refundable, and there is a discount for swiping the card regardless of taking the subway or bus. But because only EZ-Link can pay the entrance fee of Sentosa Light Rail, visitors will not hesitate to choose EZ-Link!

EZ-Link can be bought at TicketOffice and passenger services

centers in subway stations, and the price is S $12 (S $7 fare+S $5 card fee); You can also buy it at 7-eleven convenience store for S $1 (S $5 fare+S $5 card fee). When the balance in the card is less than S $3, you cannot swipe your card into the subway station, and you cannot take the bus when it is less than S $1. At least S $1 is required for each recharge. If the amount is not used up, you can return the card at the ticket

office between Terminal T2 and Terminal T3 of the airport, and the balance in the card other than the S $5 card fee will be refunded.

2. Secondary card Standard

Ticket. It can be purchased at any ticket vending machine in the subway station and can be used 6 times within 3 days from the date of purchase. Choose the place of arrival when purchasing tickets for the first time, and issue the card after successful payment; When buying tickets for the second time, you need to put the one-way ticket on the machine first, and then choose to pay after arriving at the place, otherwise you will spit out a new one-way ticket; The deposit of S $.1 will be returned automatically when using it for the third time, and S $.1 will be returned when using it for the sixth time. In fact, this way is equivalent to buying a one-way ticket every time, mainly for environmental protection reasons, reducing the paper waste of subway tickets.

3. Day card. The official name is SingaporeTourist

Pass, which is specially designed for tourists. It can be divided into one-day tickets (S $1), two-day tickets (S $16) and three-day tickets (2 yuan), and you can take the basic public transportation service unlimited times. When purchasing a card, you need to pay a deposit of S $1 for each card. You can return the card at the ticket counter and get the deposit back within 5 days from the purchase. However, the TransitLink

TicketOffices of this card only have the following stations:. sg/where-to-buy/

Note: During your stay in Singapore, if you take the subway for less than 6 times, it is recommended to purchase the Standard

Ticket directly; If you take the subway and bus more often, it is recommended to buy EZ-Link, which can save the hard work of queuing to buy tickets every time, and the discount of fare can almost offset the card fee; If you plan to visit Chehe River in Singapore, you can buy Tourism

Pass. In fact, there are many scenic spots in Singapore, so it is enough to take the subway two or three times a day. It is not recommended to take a day card.

TAXI taxi is in Singapore, and the taxi is called "taxi". You can wait at TaxiStand, make an appointment by phone/online, or stop at the roadside (except the central business district).

The taxi fare in Singapore is relatively cheap. The starting price (within 1km) is 2.8-3.2 Singapore dollars. After 1km, it will be charged .2 Singapore dollars every 21m. If the total distance exceeds 1km, the excess will be .2 Singapore dollars every 175m, and it will be charged .2 Singapore dollars every 25 seconds. In fact, if many people travel together, taking a taxi is faster and cheaper than the subway.

There are seven Texaco companies in Singapore, each with different colors and charges. Usually, yellow and blue are cheaper, red, white and silver are a little more expensive, and black is the most expensive. At the same time, it depends on the model. The price of BMW Mercedes-Benz is definitely more expensive. When waiting in line at the airport, if you are assigned to a black car or Limo, you can refuse. Tour route

Sentosa: 2 days

The famous Sentosa Island has gathered the most essential play facilities in Singapore, making people feel like they are in a sea of joy.

It will take a whole day just to go to Universal Studios, or go to maritime museum and the S.E.A Aquarium to have a close contact with underwater creatures, then stroll around the island, and then go to the beach to step on the sand, and the day will pass quickly. There are also many wonderful entertainment projects to choose from on the island, such as a water adventure park with various top water slides, a dolphin park where dolphins can get in close contact, an exciting and interesting dragon adventure park, and a crane ballet light water curtain show that can't be missed.

marina bay: One day

marina bay is an area built by reclamation in Singapore, where all kinds of buildings full of design sense are scattered like building blocks.

The tour route of marina bay can start with Merlion, and first punch in the Merlion Park to take photos; Then go to Binhai Bay Garden to visit the two "big shells", the flower dome and the cloud forest, and then look at the super tree like Avatar jungle; Next, you can go shopping in Jinsha Shopping Mall, or go to the "Pomelo Peel" Art and Science Museum to see an exhibition, and go to the "Big Durian" Binhai Art Center to see a performance. The best place to watch the sunset is the Jinsha Hanging Garden, with a panoramic view of marina bay. The best place to see the night scene is the Singapore

Flyer, a ferris wheel. After enjoying the night scene, you can also have a snack at the roadside stall below. Although I was in a hurry, I punched out almost all the scenic spots in marina bay.

Administrative District: .5 days

This area is not only the most historic area in Singapore, but also the center of art and culture.

This is a route suitable for hiking, starting from Raffles Hotel, passing through Capital Theater, St. Andre's Church, National Art Gallery, Novo Court, Victoria Theater, MICA

Building, Barge Pier, Gavina Bridge, and finally reaching Merlion Park. It will be a meaningful trip to walk all the way through those old buildings in Singapore and enjoy the scenery in the high-rise buildings.

Chinatown: .5 days

This is Singapore's Chinatown, which is made up of many shops with China characteristics and specializes in selling all kinds of authentic China goods.

In fact, there is not much to visit in Chinatown, that is, to feel the special atmosphere in Chinatown, and the things sold are no different from those in Yiwu Commodity Market. The main purpose of coming here is to taste all kinds of delicious food and visit three religious temples, the Longhua Courtyard of Foya Temple (
