In the mid-to-late twentieth century, Singapore, the garden state of Southeast Asia, became world-famous for its cleanliness and hygiene in all seasons, is this really the case?

As a traveler, I have traveled to Singapore many times in recent years, walked through the main attractions and famous streets, and penetrated into the local baksha deli centers, I have some say.

Traveling to Singapore by plane from China, the first to arrive is Changi Airport, into the airport sightseeing area, was shocked by the beauty of the place, it is like a miniature forest park, green trees, flowers, waterfalls rumbling, the ground is nearly spotless.

Some of you may say that airports around the world are basically clean, and that the cityscape is what really reflects the civilization of a city.

So, let's take a look at Singapore's downtown.

Singapore, as a country with a Chinese population of nearly 70%, has many attractions that bear the imprint of Chinese culture, and one of the more representative places is Chinatown.

Walking through the streets of Chinatown, you can see that the stores and eateries are in good order, the roads are narrow but not crowded, and the ground is nearly spotless at all times, with at most a few leaves falling from the trees, which are quickly cleaned up by the sanitation workers as they work.

The situation is similar on the other main roads, where apart from no trash visible on the ground, all cars go their own way without any competition.

The roads in Singapore's historic districts are not wide, but all other roads are spacious. The mix of old and new buildings, clean main roads and lush green grass against each other is a landscape in itself, and many tourists marvel at the cleanliness and beauty of Singapore's cityscape, and take out their cameras or cell phones to record the real thing.

It's hard to see garbage cans in Singapore's business districts and modern neighborhoods, but the ground is still very clean, and there are relatively more garbage cans in historic neighborhoods like Kampong Glam and Little India.

Little India is Singapore's ethnic Indian cultural district, which sells a variety of products related to Indian culture, as well as Indian restaurants, Indian temples, and a small number of Chinese doing business in the neighborhood. Little India's architecture is colorful, different styles, in recent years the tourism fever is very high, some like humanities tourism tourists will make a special trip to here. It is especially popular with female tourists because it looks good for photos.

To Little India excursion, the biggest impression is the street everywhere in the garbage cans, some places next to each other put three or five. Why are there so many garbage cans in Little India? The main reason is that this neighborhood is dominated by wholesale stores, retail stores and restaurants, and there is more trash than anywhere else.

In many parts of the world, the area around garbage cans is dirty, but Singapore's garbage cans are clean, as is the neighborhood. The locals are very conscious of their surroundings, and it's natural for tourists to maintain good quality when they arrive.

The high quality of Singaporeans is actually related to the strict regulations, which have been implemented for a long time, and the citizens have naturally formed an inertia mindset, and it is this strict system that makes this country develop rapidly and present the best face to the world's tourists.

To what extent is Singapore's fine system strict?

Littering, spitting, going to the toilet without flushing the toilet, etc., the fine of S$ 500 to S$ 2,000, which is converted into RMB about between 2500 yuan and 10,000 yuan. In the face of huge fines, who else would litter? After all, it's not that difficult to get the trash to the right place to throw it away than to pay the fine. If tourists in Singapore littering, usually by the local people's contempt, serious points affect the country's image, disgrace disgrace to foreign countries.

Singapore is a developed country with a highly educated population, which makes it easier to implement various civilization measures.

Walking in the streets of Singapore and tourist attractions, looking at the beautiful scenery and clean ground, the mood of the tourists is naturally better.
