I still remember Li Daren and Cheng Youqing from the TV series "I May Not Love You". A large part of the reason why they pay attention to Singapore is because they want to walk the path they have walked and the scenery they have seen.
Apart from that, Singapore is also a place that I like very much.
This trip was very short, with only four days from departure to return. For someone like me who only has five days of annual leave, I had to combine several annual leaves + statutory holidays to take my vacation.
I learned at the beginning of the year that this year would be very busy, and according to the plan, only the Qingming Festival was suitable for traveling. When I had an idea in mind, I looked at the air tickets and found that the prices were pretty good, so I immediately asked my boss for instructions.
Although the leave was approved and we set off on time, it still made me complain a bit. Talking about this later will bring tears to my eyes.
When it comes to air tickets, I always like to take an early morning flight and come back on an evening flight. I feel that time will not be wasted, and of course I have to do so when my physical strength is limited.
This time I chose Singapore Airlines. I compared the prices and found they were no different from Air China. There was no reason not to choose better service.
What’s also eye-catching is Singapore Airlines’ baggage limit. There is no limit on the number of pieces per person, 30 kilograms, while Air China only has 20 or 23.
At the beginning, I thought I would spend up to 30 kilograms, but things in Singapore are really expensive.
.
.
This was in vain. When we came back, Anpanman and I weighed only 35 kilograms together.
I chose two flights departing at 08:55 in the morning and returning at 16:50 in the afternoon. They departed on March 31 and were booked more than a month in advance. The price was 2657rmb/person including tax.
When I looked again the next day, it was seven dollars cheaper.
However, I advise everyone not to wait and wait for these seven dollars. As long as it is around 2,700, you should act quickly.
If there are friends like me who like to leave at this time, then I have two recommendations, one is mine, and the other is to leave at 00:05 and return at 16:50, but the last time I went to Taiwan, I chose an early morning
After setting off, I didn’t get a good rest, and I will never choose this kind of travel time again. It all depends on the individual.
The hotel I chose is the Carlton Hotel Singapore. It is really not an advertisement and I highly recommend it to everyone. The location is very convenient.
Some people say that if you don’t stay at Sands for one night in Singapore, it’s like you have never been to Singapore. But when I saw the price of Sands, I really felt sorry for my hard-earned money.
Considering the location and price, I finally chose Carlton.
Take the subway and get off at City Hall. There are two routes. One is to exit B, then turn right and you will see the Carlton building. It takes 5-10 minutes to walk there.
The other is to swipe your card to exit the station, get on the elevator, walk to Raffles City, go to the entrance of the high-end Nescafe coffee, and then cross the road to the right.
Stayed for three nights, the price per day including tax is 3165rmb.
This is about the same price as one night at Sands.
When I was very confident about the visa, I booked the air tickets first and then applied for the visa.
300rmb/person.
I prepared various materials and asked a courier to submit them. I submitted the materials on February 22nd and the visa was issued on March 3rd. Personally, I think it is quite slow, but I still have plenty of time before the departure date, so it’s okay.
This time, I did not choose the cumbersome portable wifi. Anpanman used Xiaomi roaming, which cost 9.9rmb/day.
I just use his hotspot directly. There is no traffic limit every day, which is very convenient.
I booked two tickets this time, one for the Ferris wheel, 157/rmb per person.
Just print out the confirmation slip and redeem your tickets in a small room next to the ticket window.
The other is Universal Studios. I bought tickets + express tickets at tb. The tickets are 276rmb/person and the express tickets are 280rmb/person.
Don’t be afraid of spending money, you must buy express tickets.
When others watch you walking past, they feel secretly happy.
And there are many games that require you to deposit packages. You can play them quickly with a quick ticket. Depositing packages is free. Otherwise, it is common to spend 4 Singapore dollars to deposit packages.
The two of us exchanged money for 600 Singapore dollars in four days.
If you just want general transportation + meals + drinks, it is definitely enough.
But there is one more thing to remind everyone, it is best to bring a UnionPay debit card, or your credit card is single currency and only UnionPay.
In some places, if your credit card has both UnionPay and Visa, they can only swipe Visa and cannot use UnionPay, saying that the system is incompatible.
I want to know how much RMB I spend at any time. Some things are brought for others. It is inappropriate to charge more or less. However, the gift shop in Universal Studios does not accept UnionPay, but there is Alipay.
During the New Year's payment, my boss came with the baby and gave me her MRT card. Each card seemed to have a deposit of SGD 5, and the money deposited was non-refundable even if the card was returned.
So before setting off, ask around if anyone has one and borrow it, which saves a lot of trouble.
I recharged each card with 20 Singapore dollars, which I used just enough in the past four days, and only one was left.
If you are not very familiar with the bus, it is recommended not to take it.
If you want to take a taxi, you need to get off the MRT and take a bus to attractions such as the zoo. If there are many people, carpooling is very suitable. For other attractions, it is recommended to take the MRT. After all, taking a taxi is also very expensive.
Attached is a saved picture of the MRT in Chinese and English. I have been looking for it online for a long time.
