yes, no more than 14 working days, that is, no rest time. 1. clothing, food, shelter and transportation

clothing: it belongs to a tropical climate, with a warm and humid climate. the average temperature at noon is 3.8 degrees. light summer clothes are more suitable for the local climate, and they are more casual to wear in informal occasions, but you must remember to bring trousers.

Food: Singapore is a multi-ethnic country, and its food is more expensive. Because there are more Chinese, everyone can find their favorite food. Drinking water: Singapore's water quality is clean and safe, so it can be drunk raw, and tourists can drink it without boiling.

Stay: The hotel industry in Singapore is particularly developed, from high to low, and everything is available, almost to the point of three-step hotel and five-step hotel! The service level of hotels is usually higher and the price is more expensive, which can be said to be the most expensive in Southeast Asia. Hotels can be divided into three types: high, medium and flat prices. When there are many tourists and the hotel is full, you have to pay sky-high prices to stay in a high-priced hotel room. In the off-season, big hotels will offer large discounts. Medium-priced hotels have the same discounts as cheap hotels, but the discounts are small, while the prices of flat-priced hotels are very stable. Because the three-dimensional traffic is very convenient, you can choose to stay in a hotel near the subway exit. If you like shopping, you can also choose to live on Orchard Road.

Raffles Hotel, the most famous hotel in Asia, is located on the banks of the Singapore River.

ok: if you stay for a long time, you can consider buying an ez-Link Card, the fare is SGD 15 yuan (including 5 yuan deposit), and you can take the subway or bus. The balance and deposit can be refunded before leaving Singapore. There is also a tourist card, which not only has the function of an ez-Link Card, but also can enjoy tickets, accommodation, shopping and other benefits.

1. subway: it coNSists of three liNEs: east-west (EW), north-south (ns) and northeast (ne). The fare starts from .8 yuan and runs every 3-8 minutes from 5: 3 to 12: 3.

2. Bus: The ordinary bus starts from .7 yuan, and the air-conditioned bus starts from .8 yuan. It is coin-operated. Remember to pick up the ticket at the ticket gate for enquiry.

3. Taxis: Taxis in urban areas are generally Crown 2.. 2.4 yuan takes off, and .1 yuan is added every 225m. 3 yuan is added when calling, and 5% is added from midnight to 6: am. Taxis at the airport are generally Mercedes-Benz, and 3 yuan is added from the airport, and 5 yuan is added from 5: pm to midnight from Friday to Sunday.

4. Tourist buses

Singapore dollar 14.9 for adults; Children Singapore Dollar 7 yuan. Service time: 9: -16: 3.

The sightseeing bus in Singapore has a strange appearance. It looks like an old coal car. The driving routes include: Colonial Administrative District, Central Business District, Chinatown, World Trade Center, Orchard Road, Tanjung Pagoda, Singapore River, Raffles Hotel, Clark Pier, Binhai District and other areas. Buses will stop at major hotels and interesting scenic spots, with convenient routes and easy to identify and find. Currency and exchange rate At present, the ratio of Singapore dollar to RMB is 1: 5. It is easy to exchange Singapore dollars locally, and MONEY CHANGEs opened by Indians can be seen everywhere, but the exchange rates of each money change are slightly different, so you might as well go around and compare them.

Singapore's laws are absolutely meticulous, and the following provisions need special attention: 1. Don't litter, which will lead to huge fines. 2. Don't take durian with public transportation, which will lead to a huge fine. If you really want to bring it, remember to tie the bag tightly. Don't eat, drink and smoke on the subway, which will lead to huge fines. 4. Don't download illegally, you will be dragged out and whipped. Singapore self-help tour (starting from Shanghai) Author: cali1979 Comments Return

I made an appointment with my friends to visit Singapore and share my experience with you.

1. Visa

We chose our own visa. The address of the Singapore Consulate is No.89 Wanshan Road (near Loushanguan Road) in Shanghai. You can take the subway line 2 to Songhong Road and get off at Loushanguan Road. It takes 1-15 minutes to walk south along Yanloushanguan Road.

visa time: Monday to Friday from 8: 3 to 11: 3, and visa collection time: Monday to Friday from 15: 3 to 16: 3;

materials to be prepared: passport issued in Shanghai: one 2-inch color photo with white background, one application form (which can be collected on site or downloaded online), passport (valid for more than half a year), 12 RMB (with 2 yuan change);

Passports of other provinces and cities: one 2-inch color photo with a white background, one application form (which can be collected on site or downloaded online), passport (valid for more than half a year), 12 yuan (with 2 yuan change), original and photocopy of household registration book, and proof of employment and income in Shanghai;

Generally, you can get a visa the next afternoon. Generally, Shanghai passports are issued with two-year multiple-entry visas, while others are issued with 35-day multiple-entry visas.

experience: friends who don't speak English don't have to worry about how to fill out the visa application form. There are templates in the window of the consulate, so just fill them out. My friend didn't prepare a household registration book when applying, but the staff accepted her visa application and didn't look at the household registration book when she received the visa. I wonder if everyone has such good luck. Visa application is actually very convenient. I suggest you do it yourself.

Second, air tickets

We booked round-trip air tickets through Ctrip. However, it's time-booked, not an Open ticket, so the price is cheaper. For the sake of departure time, I want a round-trip ticket from China Eastern Airlines, Shanghai-Singapore at 1: 4 and Singapore-Shanghai at 1: 1.

experience: if it is not a particularly busy season, we can book the air tickets later, and the price of the air tickets we booked one week in advance will drop by 8 yuan/ticket in a few days. You can also book directly from the airline, and the price is slightly more expensive. It is said that SIA's on-board facilities and diet are better, but SIA's flight time is earlier, so how to choose depends on personal situation.

Third, hotels

Originally, we wanted to book air tickets and hotel packages through mango net, but when we booked the network, we said that there was no air ticket, and the hotel we wanted to book was gone. But in fact, through our own booking, we booked both air tickets and hotels, but the price was more expensive than the online quotation, so I guess the network deliberately said nothing because of the loss, but still allowed you to book, strongly condemning mango net's behavior.

PS. I later tried to book a Shanghai hotel through mango net, and was told that there was no room. Similarly, I contacted the hotel directly and booked it. I would like to remind all the friends who want to try to make a reservation in mango net to be careful.

to get to the point, the hotel we booked is Holiday Inn Atrium, which is a four-star hotel. We chose this hotel because we believe in the quality of Holiday, because many friends wrote on the Internet that the hotel standards in Singapore are somewhat uneven.

Book directly through their website, or you can call. The room rate varies with time. For example, we booked two nights on Friday and Saturday at S $183 a night, and on Sunday at S $243 a night (including breakfast), and we have to pay 16.65% tax.

There is a Travelhotel website with many hotel choices, so you can go and see for yourself.

experience: I won't say much about this. Everyone has different requirements, but we still need to compare more and choose a company with a good reputation.

IV. Access to Singapore Airport

Except for Singapore Airlines, Malaysia Airlines, Air Canada and other airlines, all other airlines land at Terminal 1. After entering the country, you can take a taxi to the hotel directly according to the signs, or you can transfer to the free Skytrain (just follow the signs) and then transfer to the subway. There are clear signs in both Chinese and English for this transfer, so it should not be a problem.

remember to take a free map of Singapore when you leave the airport, which is very helpful for traveling (especially for free travel).

5. Subway, bus and taxi

Subway: You can buy a one-time bus ticket directly by coin or an ET (multiple round-trip ticket). Similar to the Shanghai bus card, this card can also be used on buses). One-time tickets are sold in the automatic ticket vending machine, and each ticket contains a deposit of S $1. Remember to put the tickets back into the automatic ticket vending machine and get the deposit back when you leave the station. In addition, banknotes or coins below 5 yuan should be prepared, and large banknotes are not accepted on the ticket vending machine.

The stored-value card should be purchased in the manual window, which contains a non-refundable deposit of S $5 yuan. However, when taking the bus, you can get a larger, more convenient and convenient coin-operated fare, such as S $.9, and only S $.65 will be fine if you use the card. And it only costs S $.25 to transfer to the second bus. But there is no discount for taking the subway. If you stay in Singapore for a long time, it is more economical to buy this kind of ticket.

Bus: If it's coin-operated, the starting price of an ordinary air-conditioned bus is S $.9, and there will be signs on each bus stop to tell you how much it will cost. In addition, the bus stop signs in Singapore are all in English. If you don't know English, you must be fully prepared or ask passers-by waiting at the bus stop or ask the driver how to take the bus. The name of the stop sign in Singapore is named after the street where you are driving. On the other hand, there are signs on the right to tell you about the landmark building or the horizontal road. In fact, it is also very convenient to take the bus. There is not much traffic jam in the local area, and the driving speed is relatively fast. It should be noted that you must ring the bell before you get off, otherwise the car will not stop. If you use a stored-value card, you have to swipe it when you get on and off the bus, just like taking the subway, the system will automatically deduct the money according to the length of your ride. If you forget to swipe your card when you get off the bus, you will be charged the full fare.

Taxi: There are special taxi waiting points in the city to queue up for boarding. The starting price of taxis is S $2.4, some are S $2.5 and some are S $2.6, which varies according to different models. Ordinary taxis are Toyota's and Mercedes-Benz's. However, there are many surcharges for taxis. For example, there is a surcharge of S $5 for taxis from the airport, and there is also a surcharge during busy hours. We called there twice, once it was only 1.4 kilometers, and the charge was S $6, and once it was a little more than 2 kilometers from the hotel to the factory, which was S $17.4. Therefore, I personally suggest that you don't need to take a taxi unless you get lost.

VI. Diet

Most of our diets for the past few days are settled in the big times. The cost of a meal for one person is about S $5 (excluding drinks). The food in the airport is a little expensive, but generally S $1 can be eaten well. If you go to a restaurant to eat, the cost will be higher, about 5~1 Singapore dollars for two people. This depends on everyone's choice.

VII. Shopping

Singapore is a shopping paradise. You can find whatever you want, whether it's luxury goods or general products. Needless to say, Orchard Road. Robinson Mall near Francis Blackwell Forbes is also good. As long as you spend more than S $1 shopping in a shopping mall, you can get different amounts of tax refund as long as this shopping mall participates in tax refund. Tell me about my own shopping experience. If you want to buy skin care products and colorful clothes, it is recommended to set aside 1-2 hours to buy them in the duty-free shops in the airport when you take the flight home, which is about 3% cheaper than the duty-free shops in the city, and the goods are relatively complete. I remember the most exaggerated thing is to see a bottle of LA MER's 5ml cream. The price is about S $2,9, or about RMB 1,6. Is it about 15, or 2, in China? That's enough for the plane ticket and hotel. I just suffered a loss this time. I bought a lot in the city. When I saw the price at the airport, I fainted, and a bottle of things lost 8~1 Singapore dollars. There is no careful comparison between alcohol and tobacco, but it is certainly not a loss to buy at the airport. Luxury brands such as LV or watches equivalent to several thousand yuan are recommended to buy in the city. On the one hand, the styles and goods are new and complete, on the other hand, they can enjoy tax refund. However, you can also go to several stores to compare, and the prices of products of the same brand and style are also different in various shopping malls. It is good to buy clothes and the like in shopping malls, but the prices of different brands will be different, and they are generally cheaper than domestic ones. When I went there, Robinson was having a discount. Many men's T-shirts and shirts only cost about S $2 (including well-known brands such as Camel Active). If you want to buy Clarks shoes, don't miss it. The original price for buying them there is about S $15, which is more than half cheaper than that in China. Still, the prices of jewelry and golf equipment are about half or 7% of those in China. My friend is very familiar with golf equipment. According to her comparison, a set of golf equipment that sells more than 9, in China is more than 4,. Finally, I have to mention small souvenirs, many of which are chic and inexpensive. If you see something you like, buy it, because many things will be gone if you miss other places. Recommend the souvenir shop in the botanical garden and the souvenir shop in the museum. The price is reasonable.
