What should I pay attention to when traveling to Singapore?

1. Tip: Tipping is not encouraged in Singapore, and 10% service charge is listed on the bills of hotels and restaurants. Tipping is forbidden at the airport.

2. Except for the food court and hawker center, most other restaurants in Singapore will charge 10% service fee and 7% consumption tax.

3. Beware of some surcharges: Pay attention to some inexplicable surcharges when eating in restaurants in Singapore. For example, some restaurants will give customers a side dish or tea when they sit down, but they will not tell them that they are charged.

Second, the traffic:

1. Singapore is very small and many maps look far away. In fact, it's only a short walking distance, so pay special attention to the ruler when reading the map of Singapore.

2. When stopping a taxi, first observe whether there are taxi stops around. Most tourist attractions and shopping malls have their own taxi stands. In Singapore, if there are taxi stops around, especially in the city center, taxi drivers will not stop along the road.

In Singapore, you need to wave before the bus stops-even if there is only one bus at this station, the bus will go straight away. There is no stop announcement system on the bus. If you are not sure at which station to get off, you can find a seat closer to the driver and ask him to tell you when to get to the station. Generally speaking, they will help you enthusiastically. Remember to ring the bell and swipe your card before you get off.

1. Dress: When visiting temples and going back to church, you must dress appropriately and cover your hands and feet with clothes.

2. Take off your shoes: When visiting Indian temples and going back to church, you should take off your shoes before entering the door, and visiting local people is the same home.

3. Eat: Please use your right hand when eating Indian or Malay food.

Local regulations should also be taken seriously: 1. Singapore is one of the cleanest cities in the world, and tourists must always pay attention to protecting the environment and hygiene. Spitting and littering will be fined S $65,438+0,000.

2. Singapore advocates smoking ban. Buses, theaters, cinemas, restaurants, air-conditioning shops and government offices are all non-smoking areas, and offenders will be fined S $500.

3. Pedestrians must take the crosswalk. There is a fine of S $50 for climbing over the railing. If there is no crosswalk within 50 meters, you should cross the road at the traffic lights.

Chewing gum is not allowed to be imported, carried or eaten, and offenders will be fined.
