Matters needing attention in Singapore tourism: a must-see for Singapore tourism.

If you like flowers and plants, there are some places in Singapore that should not be missed. If you decide to go to Singapore, there are some precautions you must know, otherwise you may not have a good time.

There are no four seasons in Singapore, and it is hot and humid all year round, divided into rainy seasons.

And the dry season. Choosing a good travel time is the most important. From June 165438+ 10 to March of the following year, there is more rain in Singapore, so it is inconvenient to travel. The best travel time is May to August. During my few days in Singapore, only one day was showered, and the rest of the time was sunny and very pleasant, mainly because it didn't affect taking pictures.

Although the weather in Singapore is hot, the indoor air conditioning is very powerful. Better wear a coat. If you are traveling with old people and children, you should pay more attention to beware of colds.

Besides the weather, other factors should also take into account the travel time. There will be holidays during the Spring Festival and Christmas. At this time, the ticket price is very high, which is not suitable for traveling. July and August are holidays for domestic students, and there are too many people, so it is not recommended. At other times, there won't be too many people and the air tickets are cheap. Especially June is the discount season in Singapore, so shopaholics should not miss it.

About Laws Singapore is one of the countries with the strictest laws in the world. Please be sure to observe local laws and regulations.

1) Drive on the left in Singapore. Be careful when crossing the road. Don't jaywalk, especially don't run a red light.

2) Singapore expressly stipulates that smoking, spitting or littering are not allowed in public places or air-conditioned places.

3) Chewing gum is not allowed in Singapore, or you will be severely punished.

4) Singapore has strict control over the entry of tobacco and alcohol, and heavy taxes will be levied on the excess.

5)

Visitors must hold their own passports and tourist visas to enter Singapore. Visitors are not allowed to overstay their stay in Singapore. When entering the country, the customs will stamp and sign the passport to prove the time of entry, and issue an entry card, which will be returned to the customs when leaving the country. So, remember to take care of this card.

As for transportation, Singapore's transportation, like many other places, is nothing more than subway, bus, taxi and hiking. But no matter what means of transportation, you must pay attention to civilization, don't eat, and you'd better not drink. Littering will be fined.

Subway: I don't think it's necessary to know all the subway lines. Just know if the subway is here, so I won't introduce the subway lines in detail here. Before going to Singapore, you can download an offline map from Baidu map, check it first, and use Google directly when you arrive in Singapore.

Map, just check the route. Be sure to look in the right direction when you take the subway.

Bus: There are many buses in Singapore, which is very convenient. You have to swipe your card when getting on and off, but buses in Singapore don't stop, which is the most deadly for foreigners. It's no problem to take fewer stops, but it's just a guess to take more stops, okay? Usually, I just take two stops from the hotel to Newton subway. Once I went to the Botanical Garden from Orchard Road. The name of the main station was not "Botanical Garden", and even Mongolia guessed that I got off at the last stop in advance.

Rent: Singapore is called "Texaco". In developed countries, Texaco in Singapore is still very cheap. Texaco will have a fixed website. Don't print in black. More expensive. Yellow and blue are common and relatively more expensive at midnight and rush hour.

Every Texaco will indicate the status:

Green taxi: You can park.

Green Kahlan: Only to places along the way.

Green class: I'm changing shifts. I can take it on the way.

Red Hire: Someone is riding a horse in it.

Red ONCALL: someone has called to make a reservation.

Red Busy: There are no passengers for the time being.

Other 1) sockets: The sockets in Singapore are British sockets, that is, three-pin sockets like those in Hong Kong.

2) Language: The official language of Singapore is English. At the same time, because there are many people in China, Chinese is also very common. Don't worry about asking for directions. The following conversations are often encountered.

Me: Sorry, how could I forget?

Passerby: Actually, you can speak Mandarin (Fujian Mandarin).

3) Time difference: There is no time difference between Singapore and China.

4) Singapore's diet has a strong flavor, so you can bring some standing medicines such as heat-clearing and antidote, granule, cold medicine, headache medicine and diarrhea medicine in case of emergency. If you eat seafood locally, please remember to choose a sanitary and clean restaurant.

5) Currency: SGD is commonly used in Singapore, and SGD 1 yuan is roughly equivalent to 5 yuan RMB. You can also carry UnionPay cards with you and withdraw new coins from ATMs marked with UnionPay cards, but you need to charge a certain handling fee and settle at the real-time exchange rate. The two of us exchanged 5000 RMB in cash, excluding the tickets, and finally left some souvenirs, which were all spent.

Prepare the hotel ticket before departure.

Regarding hotels and air tickets, don't ask me how to book air tickets and hotels, because I will only choose semi-free packages and don't have to spend my energy on unimportant things. The hotel is just an excessive place for me to rest at night. As long as the transportation is convenient, the flight is not important to me, as long as it can take me to Singapore.

This time, I also found the goods in the hive. Scoot+Jinghua Hotel for six days and four nights, including double breakfast. The transportation of Jinghua Hotel is very convenient, just in Newton.

The bus stop is in front of the hotel, and Newton subway station is two stops away. If you don't want to go, you can take the bus twice and then take the subway. And it's not far from the airport, about 20 minutes' journey, about RMB 70 yuan. The most important thing is that the whole journey is a fast lane, and at most you encounter a traffic light. It's also close to Orchard Road, which is perfect.

Of course, for the endless swimming pool of Jinsha Hotel, I am also very distressed to book a night's accommodation, so I won't say much, my heart is bleeding.

I also booked a visa to Singapore in the mobile phone mall. At that time, coupons were used, and two people ***600. This product can only get a 30-day round-trip visa, but I made an exception and got a one-year visa because the information I provided was too comprehensive. Not to mention whether I will go to Singapore again, this unexpected gain is quite pleasant.

Download a 100-city travel app in the special session of visa application, and all the processes and prepared materials will appear when you register and log in to the visa hall. You can upload the photos of the prepared materials to the space of the app, and the customer service of the other party will review them. After the approval, you can safely mail the materials, and you don't have to worry about being called back because of data problems.

Regarding the tickets for scenic spots, through this trip to Singapore, I found that public comment is a very good app. At first, I thought that the tickets on Taobao would be very cheap, but I found that the tickets for public comment were cheaper.

Because tickets for ifly and Universal Studios are very tight, I booked tickets on Taobao when I was writing the Raiders. The remaining tickets, such as the Marina Bay Garden and the skyscraper tower on Sentosa Island, were all booked on the public comment one day in advance, mainly for fear of changing the itinerary, and it would be more troublesome to change tickets. Tickets like the air corridor must be queued at the scene to buy tickets, and there are not many people.

Regarding the transportation card, Singapore is called Yitong Card, which can be used by subway and bus, convenience stores, Sentosa MRT and Texaco. Many parents of students in Singapore are afraid that their children will spend money indiscriminately, so they save money in their cards, which limits their consumption.

Singapore E-Pass card can be processed at the subway station, and the validity period is up to 7 years, 12 Singapore dollars, of which 5 Singapore dollars is the non-refundable card fee and 7 Singapore dollars is the available balance.

Here I recommend a very preferential method to the vast number of passengers. As for tourism, we can say that we will never go there again once, not to mention that S $5 (25 yuan RMB) is non-refundable. Therefore, if it is not for souvenir, we can rent the E-Pass card. I found a store in Taobao and rented a deposit from 7 yuan 93 yuan. You need to recharge yourself. As long as one person spends 7 yuan, he can use the card at will. Finally, you have to send the card back to the store, and the deposit is refundable.

Regarding mobile Wi-Fi, I don't buy a local calling card in any country. I like renting mobile Wi-Fi, so I won't go into details here, and it is also mentioned in other travel notes.

Necessary passport, bank card, cash, adapter, comfortable shoes, mosquito repellent equipment.

Be sure to write down the hotel information before you travel, so as to fill in the immigration card.

We set out from Tianjin Binhai International Airport. I'd like to remind you that you'd better bring more food when you take an international flight at Tianjin Airport. After passing the security check, there is a fast food chain, which has opened two, and there is no food for the rest. Many boarding gates are empty and there are few people.

Remember to take the map after security check. It is available in many languages and free of charge.

Jinghua Hotel can choose the airport bus from the airport to the downtown hotel.

This beautiful girl sat here early waiting for the Jinsha laser show, with invincible equipment, but the laser show at 9 o'clock did not appear, did not appear.

There are two laser shows in Jinsha Hotel in the evening, from Sunday to Thursday at 20:00 and 2 1:30, and there are three on Friday and Saturday at 20:00 and 2 1:30.

I stole the photo of the laser show below because I waited for two nights and there was nothing. Of course, I'm not the only one. Everyone is waiting for the laser show. Who can tell me why there is no laser show on 5. 1 and 5.2 at 9 pm, why, why?

Orchard Road

The most important thing in shopping at Orchard Road is to bring your passport and get a tax refund. If the single item exceeds S $65,438+000, the tax refund rate is 7%.

It is recommended to go to Orchard Road after noon, because shopping malls usually open after 10 or 1 1, so it is not a waste of time to go to other scenic spots and then go to Orchard Road in the morning.

Ionsky is on the 55th floor of Ion Mall, with a good view. 15: 00 to 18: 00 is free.

Sentosa cross-sea passage

The most popular tourist attraction in Singapore is Sentosa Island. Sentosa is only half a kilometer from the main island of Singapore and is connected by a causeway bridge. There are different series of scenic spots here, which can cater to all kinds of people's needs. Universal Studios and skyscrapers are world-famous attractions. If you want to have a leisurely holiday, you can bathe in the sea breeze on the beach, climb the mountain and look out, explore the mysterious natural world and enjoy the novel sensory stimulation. No matter day or night, Sentosa always conveys all her beauty and happiness.

There are many ways to get into Sentosa Island.

Method 1: Take the subway line to Gangwan Station and get off the subway, then take the vivocity E exit of Vivo City to Sentosa MRT.

Buy a ticket on the third floor, the ticket is 3.5 Singapore dollars/person. The station of vivocity is called Sentosa MRT Station. The stops on Sentosa Island are Binhai Station, Imbio Station and Beach Station. Sitting back and forth between any three stops on Sentosa Island is free.

Method 2: Walk. There is a Sentosa cross-sea trail leading to Sentosa Island on the first floor of vivocity. There is an automatic sidewalk on the sidewalk.

Transfer to the elevator, the walking distance is about five or six hundred meters, and it takes more than ten minutes to walk slowly. However, this is the text in the guide. We didn't take the transfer elevator at all, but walked along the seaside for 10 minutes, and we could enjoy the beautiful scenery. There are few pedestrians and it is very comfortable. Looking at the raiders, I was supposed to pay the island fee of 1 SGD, but I didn't pay it.

Binhai railway station

After you have just checked into Universal Studios, be sure to bring a map and a program. What I want to tell you is that the program is in English at the front and Chinese at the back. There is Chinese! There is Chinese! I was so stupid that I looked up my English notes all the way, but I didn't understand what the program was, so I didn't watch any programs. When I got home, I found China people behind me. I was really upset.

Just after watching Transformers, Singapore gave us a great shock-the rainstorm was particularly heavy, so we had to take an umbrella, with an internal raincoat of S $5 and an umbrella of S $ 10. I was forced to buy an umbrella and take it home with a sign on it as a souvenir.

The beach station comes out from Universal Studios and takes the MRT to the beach station. After coming out of the beach MRT, Bala Bay Beach is on the left and Siroso Beach is on the right.

There is a free minibus between Bala Bay Beach and Siroso Beach.

Opposite this suspension bridge is the southernmost tip of Asia and the closest place to the equator in Asia.

Sentosa Merlion Tower

The legendary Merlion is the guardian of prosperity, with the shape of half lion and half fish, which is the embodiment of Singapore's history as a port city. The lion depicts Prince SangNilaUtama rediscovering the lion and the city.

The fishtail symbolizes Temasek, an ancient fishing village.

Temasek (Temasek) means "ocean" in Java. Today, the magnificent Merlion is a symbol of Singapore, attracting tourists from all over the world. Myth is still the truth. Come and have a look, listen and feel for yourself, and feel the majestic posture of this statue of the king.

Skyscraper Tower is the highest scenic spot in Sentosa and the highest independent observation tower in Asia. The giant cable car can take 72 tourists to the altitude of 13 1 m at a time to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

You can just go to the skyscraper because you can watch the sunset.

Little India

Little India is a gathering place of Indian ethnic groups in Singapore, just like the epitome of India. It is full of car horns, bicycle bells and residents' noise, and it is one of the most attractive areas in Singapore. In Little India, you can choose carefully in ancient shops and stalls; You can go to Zhenlong Road, which is shrouded in spices and flowers, and get drunk. You can also go to humble shops to taste hot Indian food. During the Lantern Festival, Little India will be decorated into a splendid mythical world, which is particularly charming.

Little India is busy every Saturday and Sunday night, because Indian workers in Singapore like to eat, shop or get together with friends here. The working hours from Monday to Friday are quiet.

Many raiders say it's best not to go to Little India, because it's not safe, but it's not that serious. As long as it is not an important festival, there are very few people in Little India, so don't worry.

Gamboninan Gamboninan's name comes from the grand tree that once flourished here.
