Tips for Singapore Tourism: Must-see attractions in Singapore.

If you are a flower lover, there are many places you can't miss in Singapore. If you decide to go to Singapore, you must know some precautions, otherwise you may not have a good time.

There are no four seasons in Singapore. Hot and humid all year round, divided into rainy season and dry season. Choosing a good travel time is the most important thing. 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, there was only one shower, and the rest of the time was sunny and very pleasant, which did not affect the photo taking.

Although the weather in Singapore is hot, the indoor air conditioning is very powerful. You'd better have a coat. If you are traveling with old people and children, you should pay more attention to preventing colds.

Besides the weather, other factors should also be considered. There are also 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. 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 the weather

Singapore has one of the strictest laws in the world. Please be sure to observe local laws and regulations.

1) Drive on the left in Singapore. You should pay attention to safety when crossing the road. You shouldn't jaywalk, especially don't run a red light.

2) Smoking, spitting or littering in public places or air-conditioned places are explicitly prohibited in Singapore.

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 will impose excessive taxes.

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

About travel time

Traffic in Singapore, like many other places, is nothing more than subways, buses, taxis and hiking. But no matter what kind of transportation, we must pay attention to civilization. You shouldn't eat or drink, you will be fined for littering.

Subway: I don't think it's necessary to know all the subway lines. As long as you know whether the subway has reached the place you want to go, I won't go into details about the subway line here. Before you go to Singapore, you can download an offline map from Baidu map. When you arrive in Singapore, you can check the route directly with Google Maps. Be sure to look in the right direction when taking the subway.

Bus: There are many buses in Singapore, which is very convenient. You have to swipe your card when you get on and off the bus, but the buses in Singapore don't stop, which is the most fatal point for foreigners. It's a good thing to stop less, but it's just a guess to stop more, okay? Usually I take two stops from the hotel to Xincheng subway, no problem. Once from Orchard Road to Botanical Garden, the name of the main station was not "Botanical Garden", and even Dai Meng guessed that I finally got off early.

Taxi: Singapore is called "Tex". In developed countries, Tex in Singapore is still very cheap. Taxis will have fixed stops. Don't paint them black. A little more expensive. Yellow and blue are more common. Midnight and rush hour are relatively expensive.

Each taxi will display the status:

Green taxi: You can stop a car.

Greenkaran: Only along the way.

Shift change: it's shift change. You can get a ride on the road.

Red Hire: Someone is riding a horse in it.

ONCALL: someone has called to make a reservation.

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

About law

1) Socket: The sockets in Singapore are British sockets, like tripod sockets 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: Excuse me, how can I get there?

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 antipyretic or granule, cold medicine, headache medicine and diarrhea medicine for emergencies. 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 equivalent to 5 yuan RMB. You can also use UnionPay card to withdraw new money from ATMs with UnionPay logo, but you need to charge a certain handling fee and settle it at the real-time exchange rate. We exchanged 5000 yuan in cash, excluding the tickets. Finally, I left some souvenirs and spent them all.

Don't ask me how to book a plane ticket or a hotel, because I will only choose a semi-free package 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. Take me to Singapore.

This time, I was also looking for beehive goods. The scooter was used in Beijing Hotel for six days and four nights, including two mornings. The transportation of Beijing Hotel is very convenient, just on Newton Road. The bus stop is in front of the hotel and Newtown subway station is two stops away. If you don't want to go, you can take two buses and then take the subway. Not far from the airport, about 20 minutes, about 70 yuan RMB. The most important thing is that the whole journey is a fast lane, with at most one traffic light. It's also near Orchard Road. It's perfect.

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

Preparation before departure

Singapore visa. I also made a reservation at the Honeycomb Shopping Center. At that time, coupons were used, 600 for two people. This product can only get a 30-day round-trip visa, but because the information I provided is too comprehensive, I made an exception and got a one-year visa. Whether I will go to Singapore or not, this unexpected gain is a surprise.

For this special aspect of visa application, download a 100-city travel app. When you register in the visa hall, all the formalities and prepared materials will appear. You can upload the photos of the prepared materials to the space of the app, which will be reviewed by the customer service of the other party. After the approval, you can mail the materials with confidence, and don't worry about calling back because of information problems.

About hotels and air tickets

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 cheaper, but I found that the tickets for public comment were cheaper.

Because tickets for ifly and Universal Studios were very tight, I booked tickets on Taobao when I was writing the Raiders. The remaining tickets, such as the Marina Bay Garden and the skyscrapers on Sentosa Island, were booked on the public comment one day in advance, mainly for fear that it would be more troublesome to change the itinerary. Like tickets for the air corridor, you have to queue up at the scene to buy tickets. Generally speaking, there are not many people.

Singapore is called e-card. You can take the subway bus, convenience store, 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 eEasy 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 favorable method to travelers. As for tourism, it can be said that I have been there once, and generally I will not go again, let alone the non-refundable S $5 (25 RMB). So, if it's not a souvenir, you can rent an easy card. I found a shop in Taobao and rented it with a deposit of 7.93 yuan. The amount you spend is what you need to recharge, and the rest can be used casually as long as one person spends 7 yuan. Finally, you have to send the card back to the store and the deposit can be refunded.

About visas

I won't buy a local phone card when I go to any country. I like renting mobile Wi-Fi, so I won't go into details here. It is also mentioned in other travel notes.

About scenic spot tickets

Passport, bank card, cash, adapter, comfortable shoes, mosquito repellent equipment.

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

About the transportation card

We set out from Tianjin Binhai International Airport. I want to remind you that you'd better take more food when you take an international flight at Tianjin Airport. After the security check, a fast food chain opened two, and the rest had nothing to eat. 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 is free of charge.

Beijing hotel can choose the airport bus from the airport to the downtown hotel.

Airport bus: S $9/person

Arrive at the arrival hall of the lobby when you leave the customs, buy tickets at the ground transportation desk, tell the staff where to go, and give you a sticker to stick on your body. Here comes the driver, let you get on.

Hotel Sky Garden Jinsha Sky Garden is located on the 57th floor of the hotel, just like a surfboard above the hotel. It has a good view. You can see Singapore Marina Bay Garden, CBD Financial District, Ferris wheel, South China Sea and so on. Next to the hanging garden is the infinite swimming pool.

If you don't stay in Jinsha Hotel, you have to buy tickets on the basement of Jinsha Hotel and queue up.

Clark wharf

duck ship

This ship was used in the Vietnam War. During the trip, the tour guide will tell you some interesting things that happened during the Vietnam War. Land travel will pass through landmark buildings, such as parliament building, high court and government building. When a duck boat entered marina bay, the water journey began with a splash. In beautiful marina bay, you will see Marina Bay Garden, Jinsha Hotel, Spiral Bridge and Water Platform one after another. The most anticipated thing is that you will see the Merlion sculpture in the shape of durian shell at the estuary of Singapore, Singapore's landmark building and marina bay Art Center. On the way back, you will also see the world's largest Singapore skyscraper viewing wheel.

Marina Garden, a super garden costing 654.38 billion yuan, has become the latest landmark in Singapore. It consists of three gardens: Binhai South Garden, Binhai East Garden and Binhai Central Garden. Among them, the largest seaside garden belongs to the South Seaside Garden, where there are many huge super trees.

It is suggested to go to Binhai Bay Garden at 4 pm (9:00-2 1:00). After visiting two cold rooms, wait until it gets dark and go to the air corridor to watch the light show. The time is 19: 45 and 20:45 respectively. The best viewing position is at the end of the overpass behind Jinsha Hotel.

Binhai Theatre in Binhai Art

Binhai Art Center is Singapore's leading art performance venue, and its unique dome has won the title of "Big Durian". Binhai Art Center is adjacent to marina bay. There are concert halls, theaters, concert halls, rehearsal rooms, outdoor performance spaces, shopping centers, restaurants and the library of Binhai Art Center. Local and international performances of Binhai Art Center include musicals, concerts, dances and dramas, as well as outdoor performances and lunch concerts.

Merlion Park Merlion statue is located in Merlion Park on the banks of Singapore River in the city, which is a symbol and symbol of Singapore. The statue is 8 meters high and weighs 40 tons. The lion's mouth spouted a stream of clear water. It was carved by sculptor Nan Lin and his two children. There are many famous landmarks in Singapore around the park, such as Binhai Art Center, government building, High Court, Victoria Theatre and Raffles bronze statue.

This beautiful girl sat here early and waited for the Jinsha laser show, with invincible equipment, but the laser show at 9 o'clock didn't come, didn't come.

There is a laser show in Jinsha Hotel in the evening, two from Sunday to Thursday at 20:00 and 2 1:30 respectively, and three from Friday to Saturday at 20:00 and 2 1:30 respectively.

I stole the following photo of the laser show 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 at 9: 00 pm.1and 5.2, why, why?

Orchard Road

The most important thing in shopping at Orchard Road is to bring your passport, which can be returned. If the single item exceeds S $65,438+000, the tax rebate rate is 7%.

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

The 55th floor of the shopping mall is Ion sky, with a good view. 15:00- 18:00 is free.

Sentosa Cross-sea Trail Singapore's most popular tourist destination is Sentosa Island. Sentosa is only half a kilometer from the main island of Singapore. It is connected to the main island 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 Harbor Station, get off the subway and go to Sentosa MRT in vivocity from Exit E. You can buy tickets on the third floor of vivo city. The registration fee is S $3.5 per person. The station of vivocity is called Sentosa MRT Station, and the stations on Sentosa Island include Binhai Station, Imbio Station and Beach Station. Sitting back and forth between any three stops on Sentosa Island is free.

Method 2: Take a walk. There is a Sentosa cross-sea trail on the first floor of vivocity, leading to Sentosa Island. There is an automatic sidewalk on the sidewalk to transfer to the elevator. The walking distance is about five or six hundred meters. It takes ten minutes to get there. However, this is an article about strategy. We never took the transfer elevator. We just walked along the seaside for 10 minutes, and we can enjoy the beautiful scenery. There are few pedestrians and it is very comfortable. Look at the raiders, you have to pay 1 SGD to land on the island, but you didn't pay it.

After registering at Universal Studios, be sure to bring a map and a program. I want to tell you that the front of the program is English and the back is Chinese. There is Chinese! There is Chinese! I foolishly looked up my English notes all the way, and finally I didn't know what the program was, so I didn't watch any programs. When I got home, I found Chinese in the back. I was really upset at that time.

Just after watching Transformers, Singapore gave us a great shock-heavy rain, especially heavy, so we must take an umbrella. S $5 for internal raincoats and S $0 for umbrellas 10. I was forced to buy an umbrella to take home. There is a sign on it as a souvenir.

Take the MRT from Universal Studios to the beach station. After the MRT from the beach, 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.

Ifly ifly is at West Rosso Beach.

Sentosa Merlion Tower

The legendary Merlion is the guardian of prosperity, half lion and half fish. It embodies the history of Singapore's port city. The lion depicts the folklore that Prince Sunnilautama rediscovered the lion and the city, while the fishtail symbolizes the ancient fishing village Temasek, which means "ocean" in Javanese. Today, the magnificent Merlion is a symbol of Singapore, attracting tourists from all over the world. This is still the truth of myth. Come and have a look, listen, feel and feel the grand gesture 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 carry 72 tourists to the height of 13 1 m at a time to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

It is good to go to the skyscraper at this time, because you can watch the sunset.

Little India, the gathering place of Indian ethnic groups in Singapore, is like a microcosm of India. It is full of car horns, bicycle bells and residents' noise, and it is one of the most regional features in Singapore. In Little India, you can choose carefully in old shops and stalls; You can go to the real cage road 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 especially busy on Saturday and Sunday nights, because Singaporean Indian workers 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. 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.

The name of Bangbanggunan Gambanggunan comes from the big trees that once flourished here. It used to be the activity center of the Malay royal family, but now it has been transformed into a cultural heritage museum to show the rich history of the Malay ethnic group in Singapore. The main tourist attractions are Sultan Mosque, Basola Street, Arabian Street and Haji Lane, all of which are places to experience ethnic customs.

Singapore changi airport

There are many kinds of direct drinking water like this in Singapore. Better bring a cup. After all, prices in Singapore are high.

Local restaurants in Singapore will charge 10% service charge and 7% consumption tax.

1. Wine and cheese bar:11:30-12: 00.

If you like cheese, come to this house and watch the cheese slowly form. Eating vegetables and meat is a different experience.

The first floor of the 2.2 floor. See things in a blur cafe, Congress Shopping Center.

There are two dazzling cafes in Singapore. Somerset's gateway is Dream Purple, and I went to the other one. Tiffany is blue, the decoration is very girly, and the afternoon tea is still great.

3. Sentosa Island Food Street, Malaysia

This is the cheapest meal in Singapore, because there are all kinds of local food in Singapore, as well as Indian-style food such as roadside stalls. I love Indian flying cakes, not made in China, but made in India. They are so delicious that they can fly. I didn't try Satay for fear that it was too strong. My mother and I eat lightly, and Fujian shrimp noodles are light and delicious.

4. Pudding Dog Theme Restaurant is in 4. Po Mpopurin Cafe (4th Floor, Orchard Middle Road)

Super cute. This is a western restaurant dealing in pudding dogs.

5.orchard road plaza ice cream

Ice cream is very popular all over the world, but if I don't want cold food, I won't buy it. It's just opposite GUCCI, Belle Palace, Orchard Road at the gate of Aon City.

6. Hoshino Coffee Xingnai Coffee Shop

I want to eat every dish in the restaurant. Fruit tea is especially delicious.

7. Hana Restaurant on the first floor of Orchard Road Plaza Shopping Center

It is a Japanese food, but the food is very unique and delicious.

8. Close to the open farm community botanical garden

Monday to Friday12: 00-15: 0018: 00-22: 00 Saturday 1 1: 00-22: 00.

It is characterized by a good environment, many people and long queues.

9.DC superhero cafe

Many babies can't sit still, can they? The DC theme restaurant tastes good, but there are too many dishes.

Finally, I really don't have time to eat Yakun and Songfa Bak Ku tea.

I am not a shopaholic. I bought a pair of Dr.Martens and a bottle of Lancome cream in Singapore because I was afraid of being overweight. I really don't pay attention to other brands of goods, and I don't have any substantive suggestions and opinions.

The trip to Singapore is over, but the flower viewing tour is not over. I hope mom will be as happy next time.
