Tips for traveling in Singapore: a must-see in Singapore.

If you are a flower lover, there are many places in Singapore that you can't miss. If you decide to go to Singapore, you must know some precautions, otherwise you may not be able to play happily.

There are no four seasons in Singapore. It is humid and hot all year round, and it is divided into rainy season and dry season. Choosing a good travel time is the most important thing. From November to March of the following year, there is more rain in Singapore, so it is inconvenient to travel, so the best travel time is from 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 prevent 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 is one of the countries with 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 the travel time

Like many other places, the transportation in Singapore 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, littering will be fined.

subway: I don't think it's necessary to know all the subway lines. Just know whether the subway has reached the place you want to go, so I won't go into details about the subway line here. Before going to Singapore, you can download an offline map from Baidu map and have a look. 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.

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

taxi: it's called "Tex" in Singapore. In developed countries, Tex in Singapore is still very cheap. Taxis will have fixed stops. Don't blacken them. Be more expensive. Yellow and blue ones are more common. Midnight and rush hours are relatively expensive.

Each taxi will show the status:

Green taxi: You can stop a car.

Greenkaran: Only go to places along the way.

shift change: it's a shift change, and you can take a ride on the way.

red hire: someone is riding a horse in it.

ONCALL: someone has called to make a reservation.

Red is busy: there are no guests for the time being

About the law

1) Sockets: The sockets in Singapore are British sockets, which is like the tripod sockets in Hong Kong.

2) Language: English is the official language of Singapore. 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 heat-clearing and antidotes or granules, cold medicine, headache medicine, diarrhea medicine and other standing medicines for emergencies. If you eat seafood locally, please remember to choose a sanitary and clean restaurant.

5) Currency: Singapore commonly uses Singapore dollar, and 1 yuan dollar is approximately equivalent to 5 yuan RMB. You can also use UnionPay card to withdraw new money from ATM with UnionPay logo, but you need to charge a certain handling fee and settle it at the real-time exchange rate. We exchanged 5 yuan in cash, not including tickets. Finally, I left some souvenirs and spent them all.

Don't ask me how to book air tickets and hotels, because I will only choose semi-free packages, so I 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. Just take me to Singapore.

This time, we are also looking for the goods of the hive, a scooter 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. And it's not far from the airport, about 2 minutes, about RMB 7 yuan. 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.

prepare a

Singapore visa before departure. I also made a reservation at Honeycomb Mall. At that time, coupons were used, 6 for two people. This product can only get a 3-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.

download a 1-city travel app for this special aspect of visa application. When you register in the visa hall, all the formalities and prepared materials will appear. You can take photos of the prepared materials and upload them 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 are very tight, I booked tickets on Taobao when I was writing the Raiders. The remaining tickets, such as the Marina Bay Garden and the skyscraper on Sentosa Island, were all 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 an electronic greeting 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 deposit money in their cards, which limits their consumption.

Singapore eEasy card can be processed at subway station, and the validity period is up to 7 years, and it costs S $12, of which S $5 is the non-refundable card fee and S $7 is the available balance.

here, I recommend a very favorable method to travelers. As for tourism, it can be said that we have been there once, and generally we will not go there again, not to mention the non-refundable 5 Singapore dollars (25 RMB). So, if it's not a souvenir, you can rent an eEasy card. I found a store 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 calling 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 started from Tianjin Binhai International Airport. I would like to remind you that you'd better take more food when you take an international flight at Tianjin Airport. After passing 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 the security check. It is available in many languages and free of charge.

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

Airport bus: S $9/person

When you leave the customs, you arrive at the arrival hall of the lobby, go to the ground transportation service desk to buy tickets, tell the staff where to go, and you will be given a sticker. 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 infinity pool.

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

Clark Wharf

Duck Boat

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

The 1 billion yuan super garden Marina Garden 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 seashore garden belongs to the southern seashore garden, where there are many huge super trees.

It is recommended to go to the Marina Bay Garden at 4 pm (9:-21:). 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 2:45 respectively. The best viewing position is at the end of the overpass behind Jinsha Hotel.

Double Spiral Bridge

Binhai Theater 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.

Double Spiral Bridge

Merlion Park Merlion statue is located in Merlion Park on the banks of the Singapore River in the city, which is a symbol and symbol of Singapore. The statue is 8 meters high and weighs 4 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 the Binhai Art Center, the government building, the High Court, the Victoria Theatre and the Raffles bronze statue.

This beautiful girl sat here waiting for the Jinsha laser show early, 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, with 2 shows from Sunday to Thursday at 2: and 21:3, and 3 shows from Friday to Saturday at 2: and 21:3.

I stole the photo of the laser show below, 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: pm on May 1 and May 2, why, why?

Orchard Road

The most important thing when shopping in Orchard Road is to bring your passport, which can be returned. If the single item exceeds S $1, the tax rebate rate is 7%.

It is recommended to go to Orchard Road after noon, because shopping malls usually open after 1 or 11 o'clock. It's not a waste of time to go to other scenic spots in the morning and then to Orchard Road.

Ion sky is on the 55th floor of the shopping mall, with a good view. Free from 15: to 18: .

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 will always convey 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 vivo city from Exit E. You can buy tickets on the third floor of vivocity. Entry fee is S $3.5/person. The station in 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 walkway on the first floor of vivocity, leading to Sentosa Island. There is an automatic sidewalk transfer elevator on the sidewalk. The walking distance is about five or six hundred meters. It takes ten minutes to get there. However, this is a text about strategy. We didn't take a transfer elevator at all. We just walked along the seaside for 1 minutes and we could enjoy the beautiful scenery. There are few pedestrians and it is very comfortable. Look at the raiders, you have to pay a S $1 landing fee, but you didn't pay it.

After registering at Universal Studios, you must bring a map and a program list. I want to tell you that the program is in English at the front and Chinese at the back. 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 big fright-heavy rain, so we must take an umbrella. The internal raincoat is S $5 and the umbrella is S $1. 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.

The opposite side of this suspension bridge is the southernmost part of Asia and the closest place to the equator in Asia.
