Where is it cheaper to shop in Hong Kong and Singapore?
The main shopping spots in Singapore are around Orchard Road, the government building and Binhai Plaza, and around Scotes Street on the north shore of Singapore. Orchard Road is a high-end shopping area in Singapore, equivalent to Ginza in Tokyo. There are many commercial buildings in the whole street, which bring together world-famous goods. The shopping environment is elegant, but the corresponding price is also high. There is the largest shopping center in Singapore-Ian Shopping Center, which is known as the shopping pearl of Singapore. Eastman Orchard Store occupies half of the entire Wesma Square, with all kinds of high-end goods. It is worth a try in Ruixing Commercial Center. There are almost no first-class brand-name clothing stores here, but other goods are reasonably priced and readily available. However, if you want to buy brand-name goods, you'd better choose during the discount period.

Around the government building and Binhai Square, there are Binhai Square, Raffles Garden and so on, which are famous for their large scale. Chinatown, Little India, Wookiee Yala Street and Holland Village are places where all kinds of clothes or handicrafts with low prices and ethnic characteristics are sold. In addition, Changi Airport and Meinian City are famous duty-free shops. (Note: You can shop safely in Merlion Sign Store. Attach the basic knowledge of consumption tax rebate method and bargaining).

Special nursing tip: Singapore's big shopping malls are managed in a unified way, while domestic shopping malls are generally managed in a unified way, but managed by brands. This is the biggest difference between fitting and paying the bill. After browsing in the mall, you can choose your favorite clothes to try on in the fitting area, and each fitting can't exceed three pieces at most. There are generally more than 65,438+00 rooms in the fitting area, but you still need to queue up during the sales period. After the fitting, the clothes you don't like can be put on the hanger next to the fitting room, and you can leave. There will be no salesman urging you to pay, but the goods you like will be paid directly at the cashier.

Business hours: Most shops in Singapore are open from 10: 00 am to 9: 00 pm, and some shops are open until 10: 00 pm on weekends.

Receipt (invoice): department stores use cash register receipts to shop in small stores. Please ask the shopkeeper for the purchase receipt in person.

Commodity guarantee: Stores usually provide international guarantee valid for one year. Shoppers have to ask for their own purchases, and sometimes they have to pay extra fees. Remember to check whether all the information required in the guarantee has been completed and stamped with the store seal. Please do not accept incomplete copies or warranties.

Remarks: Since June 65438+10/October 65438, 2003, the GST has been adjusted to 5%.
