fried fruit strips

fried fruit strips look unremarkable, but they are missed by many people. There are rice noodles, noodles, fresh clams, fish cakes and vegetables.

Lesha

The Nanyang flavor that must be tried. The main ingredient is rice flour, a soup made of various spices and coconut milk, with fresh clams and special hot sauce. After eating it, I was deeply impressed.

Hotel accommodation recommendation:

Chinatown in Chinatown is not as clean and luxurious as other places in Singapore, but it is very pleasant to walk along the river at night because it is not far from the Singapore River. There are many bars, bright lights and convenient transportation. Hotel 81 and A Travellers‘Rest Stop are more famous in economy hotels.

Little India is similar to Chinatown in Niucheshui. Although it is not luxurious enough, both sides of Serangoon, where hotels are concentrated, are also very lively and convenient to travel. Fragrance Backpackers Hostel and Hangout Mt Emily are famous among the economic hotels.

Transportation:

Airplane

Singapore is an aviation center in Southeast Asia connecting Europe, America and Oceania, with routes reaching 127 cities in 54 countries (regions). From China's Beijing, Guangzhou, Xiamen, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Shantou and Hefei (opened on August 28th, 21, Hainan Airlines carried out the mission. From Dalian to Hefei and then to Singapore, there are two flights a week, and cities such as Dalian and Hefei can fly directly to Singapore. Singapore changi airport is one of the busiest airports in the world and one of the largest airports in Southeast Asia.

The plane started from Hangzhou, stopped in Fuzhou and flew to Singapore. Xiamen Airlines, 737, the plane is small, and the food on board is poor. The entertainment is only a few old-fashioned movies. Choosing this flight is purely from Hangzhou, which is the most convenient.

local transportation

subway

The subway in Singapore is still very developed. Now there are several lines, such as the east-west line (green), the north-south line (red), the northeast line (purple) and the ring line (yellow). Moreover, each subway station has a number. It is suggested that you remember the number when you do your homework, so you just need to recognize the number when you take the subway, regardless of such a long list of English station names (after all, many station names are Malay or Hindi, and I don't know what it means). Maybe it's because there are few Singaporeans. The subway frequency is not very dense. It runs every 5-6 minutes during peak hours, and sometimes even every 15 minutes. It's still not the same as that in China.

subway tickets, remember that "EZ-Link" is a transportation card, and you can buy it at the subway station of the airport. 12 Singapore dollars each, of which 5 yuan is a non-refundable handling fee. You can return your card at the airport when you leave. This card can also be taken by bus. And they all have discounts. What if the money runs out? The ticket vending machines at any subway station are all in Chinese. Just follow the prompts, which is very convenient. Each recharge must be filled with 1 Singapore dollars or multiples of 1 dollars.

Take the subway, make sure you have a balance of 3 yuan on your EZ-Link card, otherwise you can't get into the subway station, and you will be asked to recharge it.

Bus

There are many buses in Singapore, but notice that all the station names are in English, which is a big test. Charge by mileage, and it is convenient to swipe your card. Just swipe it once when you get on the bus and once when you get off the bus. If you don't have a card to buy a ticket, just ask the driver. He will tell you how much it costs, usually a dollar and a few cents, so you must have the change ready.

If you want to get off, you must press the get-off button to remind the driver. If no one presses it and no one is waiting for the bus at that station, the driver will just stop.

there will be no stop announcement on the bus, so keep an eye on yourself at all times. My practice is to write down the name of the penultimate stop before the destination I want to go to, and I can get ready when I see this stop.
