A1 Singapore is a great place to visit all year round, although you should bring rain gear every day if you come during the rainy season (November-February).

April and July The annual World Gourmet Summit and Singapore Food Festival are held at this time and are perfect for travelers who want to indulge in good food.

June At the height of the Singapore Sale, this is the best time to go shopping in Singapore and you're guaranteed to leave with a full house.

November-December Singapore's tourist season is at its peak, with many coming to experience a tropical Christmas. This is the time when Orchard Road is decked out in lights and shopping malls across the island offer Christmas discounts, which is also great for shopping junkies.

Overall, perhaps the only times to visit Singapore that are less suitable are Christmas and Chinese New Year, when it's high season, when it's hard to get good hotel deals, and when some of the attractions won't be open.

PS: Singapore's weather is hot and humid, with very little variation throughout the year and no seasons. The average temperature during the day is 31?C and at night it drops to about 24?C. The climate is divided into rainy and dry seasons. From November to February, the rainy season dominates the island's tropical climate, with almost daily rain and cool weather, while the dry season, from March to October, can be very hot all over the island.

In fact, even for SIA, it is easy to wait for special round-trip tickets, you can always go to the official website, there is a special airfare in the airfare column, subscribe to it, if there is a low-cost ticket will automatically send you a notification.

PS: need to pay attention to the time to apply for a visa, because the Singapore visa is valid from 35 days to two years, so it is best not to book too early, the visa is recommended to start a month before the departure, the validity of the period refers to the period of time to enter the country can be entered into the entry is usually allowed to stay for 30 days, depending on the customs.

Q8What are the essential items for traveling to Singapore?

A8 Whenever you go to Singapore sunscreen is a must, it is recommended to bring a high multiples of sunscreen and sunglasses.

Short-sleeved clothes and pants are fine for outdoors, but indoors, including inside public **** transportation, the air-conditioning is usually turned down (locals joke that this is to experience a sense of temperature outside of the summer months), so it's recommended to bring a long-sleeved shirt just in case you catch a cold from too much of a change in temperature.

Long pants and skirts are also a must, and are required for beach walks and visits to and from religious sites. Flip-flops are perfect for the beach, but be aware that you'll need to dress appropriately for upscale restaurants and formal occasions.

An umbrella is also a must, for shade in the dry season and rain in the wet season.

Singapore is a small place and is ideal for walking, so a pair of good walking shoes will make your journey more comfortable.

Q9 What is the local currency in Singapore and can I use US dollars?

A9 The currency in circulation in Singapore is the Singapore Dollar. Abbreviated as SGD or SGD, it is the legal tender of Singapore, and it is possible to spend with US dollars in Singapore. If you want to exchange currency, you can choose money changers around Changi Airport, Orchard Road and the city center, which will be more cost-effective than exchanging at hotels or banks. However, make sure you look for a legally licensed money changer and ask for the exchange rate.

Q10 Is it cheaper to change money at home or in Singapore? Can I use my credit card to exchange money in Singapore or do I need to bring RMB cash to exchange?

A10 According to friends in Singapore, it is more cost-effective to exchange money at home than in Singapore; besides, it is also more cost-effective to withdraw money from ATMs in Singapore with a fee-free UnionPay card than to exchange money in Singapore. To summarize: changing money at home > withdrawing money at ATMs in Singapore > changing money in Singapore.

The key to changing money at home is to come directly to Singapore and use it in a really convenient way; it's better than finding a place to change money when you come to Singapore, which saves you a lot of time, and you can go to other places for a while. It is not cost-effective to change money for the sake of changing money, so it is recommended to prepare in advance. The first thing you need to do is to find a place to exchange your money, and you'll be able to do it at a price you can afford.

You need to bring cash to exchange money, not credit card.

Niucheshui exchange rate is good for inexhaustible new money back to the yuan, while the yuan for new money exchange rate is average. I know that the money changers in Suntec City near the Fountain of Fortune have better exchange rates than those in Chinatown, whether it's RMB, Baht, Yen, etc., they all have much better exchange rates than the ones in the Chinatown legend.

PS: New Zealand dollar bill denominations of 2 yuan, 5 yuan, 10 yuan, 50 yuan, 100 yuan, 1000 yuan; the most common is 50 yuan (including 50 yuan) the following denominations, but ATMs can only take 10, 50, 100 yuan; 100 yuan to go to food republic to eat, the majority of merchants are reluctant to accept, 50 yuan is no problem at all; from the domestic exchange of money is generally The only thing I can do is to change to 1000 dollars, which is not convenient at all in Singapore.

Q11 How is the consumption level in Singapore?

A11 from the clothing, food, housing and transportation aspects respectively:

Clothing: clothing and other certainly more expensive than domestic, daily necessities in the supermarket prices, some more expensive than domestic, some cheaper than domestic. Singapore shopping does not seem to be too necessary, Hong Kong is much cheaper than Singapore shopping.

Food: most of the food in the supermarket is cheaper than the domestic and good, see the psychological hate. Outside to eat, Singapore's food court price of 3.5-15 can eat and full and good, taste, hygiene and food safety are no problem.

Live: hotels are super expensive, better hotels (four-star, five-star), converted into RMB are at least 1,000 more, and many of them are relatively old, either the room is very small. The three-star hotels are less, and a bed in a youth hostel costs 100-200rmb. I think the cleaner and more affordable ones are ibis and days.

The hotel and the tickets are the most important thing when you travel to the country, so you can save a lot of money if you book a month in advance.

Travel: bus, subway, taxi are very convenient. We recommend that you buy a metro card, which gives you a discount on every ride, and a discount on buses after you take the metro. Cabs start at a relatively high level, about 8-10 yuan, the average trip does not exceed 20 yuan. The longest trip is only 50-60 RMB, which is slightly more expensive than at home. There are also increases for phone calls, getting in and out of the airport, and during rush hour, so sometimes it's a few dollars more than the meter shows.

Q12 Do I need to tip in Singapore?

A12 Not in restaurants as you will find 10% service tax and 7% GST on the bill when you are done eating, so there is no need to tip.

Hotels and hostels in general, if you think the person who carries your luggage is nice, you can tip 10 or 20 Singapore dollars, but if it's a five-star hotel, of course, you have to tip more, but if you think you're tipping too little, you might as well not tip at all. The hotels don't use it at all.

Q13Is it necessary to buy overseas insurance when traveling to Singapore?

A13 Singapore visa, crossing the border are not required to produce insurance policy, so this can be voluntary purchase. If you take a small child must buy, small children out of the possibility of illness is relatively large, the adult will depend on their own wishes, the general conditions abroad or recommended to buy insurance, flight delays, medical, accidents and so on are included, more convenient and assured.

Q14 How to solve the problem of Internet access when traveling in Singapore?

A14 Phone card In fact, it is quite convenient to buy a card when you arrive:

1. 8 SGD singtel card with 10 SGD balance, you can use 7 SGD to open a 7-day 1GB traffic package (you can ask the clerk to set it up), you can open a hotspot, and you can top up when you run out.

2. 15 SGD traveler card, SIA aircraft sales, 5-day package with 100GB traffic, 30 minutes of international long distance, 500 minutes of local calls, 100 local SMS (this offer is currently known to the end of February 17, 2016, why is said currently known because previously said that to the end of the end of 2015 to the end of this offer, that day to answer the question of the query site found to extend the time of the offer, so it is not good to say that after the end of the time of the offer, I can't say that I have to go back to the end of the day. (The reason why I say currently known is because the offer was said to end at the end of 2015, but I checked the website the other day and found that the offer was extended, so it's hard to say if the offer will be extended again.) If you top up, it's SGD3 a day (including 500M traffic, 100 minutes of local calls, 5 minutes of IDD, and 100 local SMSes).

3. Depending on how many days you're traveling, if it's a short period of time, it's good to have international roaming, which is like 30 days for mobile. If you're going for a longer period of time, I think it's better to buy a local phone card, after all, it's less than 40 RMB for 8 Singapore dollars.

It should be noted that in the airport counter may not be able to buy small-denomination phone cards, if the airport did not buy small-denomination phone cards, then go to the 7-11 to buy, Singapore phone card real-name system, you need to carry a passport to buy, Internet packages, etc. The clerk will help to set up.

Taobao to pay attention to a friend to go to Singapore is Taobao to buy phone cards, most of the phone card is Hong Kong's telecommunications company, the price is higher than singtel, the use of it is no problem.

Rental wifi Taobao can be rented, usually deposit 500, and then the cost is about 40 yuan per day, a device can be used by 3-5 people, the general airport also has a rental wifi site, the price is more expensive.

Q15 Is the local security in Singapore good?

A15 Singapore is one of the safest cities in the world, with a very low crime rate.

Singapore's law and order situation:

Under the Singapore Internal Security Act and the Penal Code, the Singapore Police Force has the power to detain political prisoners and vigilantes who jeopardize national security and social stability, which is an effective deterrent to crime.

Q16 Is Singapore suitable for traveling with children?

A16 Singapore is the most family-friendly country in Asia. The city is clean and very safe for traveling with children, even the smaller babies are not afraid; there are good facilities for children, whether it is a baby stroller seat, or free children's playgrounds everywhere; the flight is not too far, and the city is relatively small, so it does not need to travel; there are countless attractions that can be played with children, such as botanical gardens, zoo, amusement parks, water worlds.... ...

The choice of travel mode: 1-3 years old baby's work and rest time is more regular, is not suitable for the itinerary of the compact with the group line, to free behavior preferred.

A18 Singapore is a clean and tidy multi-ethnic city, and pays a lot of attention to environmental protection and respect for the ethnic groups. If you don't pay attention, you may offend the locals or even get a hefty fine.

Respect Islamic customs: take off your shoes when entering a mosque; try not to eat pork in front of Malays; it is best not to drink alcohol when eating at the same table as Muslims.

Q19 What about local transportation when I get to Singapore?

A19 The price of the subway in Singapore and China is still similar, according to the distance of the card billing. My friend in Singapore six days, travel all rely on the subway, also spent about 100 yuan. And Singapore's subway is quite developed, almost everywhere you go, but also very fast, enough.

The subway's sample paper is similar to that of the domestic one, and it's completely understandable! I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get a good deal on the E-link card, but I'm sure I'll be able to get a good deal on the bus, and the price is about the same as it is at home.

Lastly, I have to say a few words about airfare, direct flights to Singapore are not cheap, and I suggest that you start staring at the official websites of Tiger Airways, SIA and other airlines half a year ahead of time, so that the probability of getting a special offer is relatively high. The closer the time, the more expensive the airfare, oh, early action!

PS: If you want to cut down on expenses, don't take a taxi in Singapore.

Not long after returning, the money will be refunded to the credit card, very convenient.
