Singapore Tourism Detailed Raiders 20 19 Latest Edition

Singapore is a very delicate country, located at the mouth of Malacca Strait. Singapore is the only developed country in Southeast Asia, with a very high quality of life and environment. It is also a world-famous shopping, tourism and holiday resort. Here are some detailed strategies to share with you.

Singapore has concentrated scenic spots and convenient transportation, and taxis are not very expensive. You don't need to consult many raiders in advance, so you can easily play around the Lion City.

Three quarters of Singapore's population is Chinese, and Chinese is unimpeded. Even taxi drivers in India and Arab uncles selling barbecues are dragging a few words to tell you in Chinese.

Singapore's diverse food culture can satisfy you. Malaysian, Indian hand-grabbed rice, China bak Kut teh and Singaporean Chili crab guarantee that you won't eat the same thing every day!

Singapore has a variety of zoos, aquariums, water parks, theme parks, and Sentosa full of laughter to ensure that energetic troublemakers at home have a good time! And all kinds of convenient and intimate supporting facilities also provide the greatest convenience for Bao Dad and Ma Bao.

Don't underestimate this pocket country. Although it is only over 6 million square kilometers, its area is equivalent to that of Chaoyang District and half of Fengtai District of a city. It has incredible charm and attracts tourists from all over the world to visit again and again.

Visa Singapore visa processing fees are not expensive, and there are not many materials needed, but there are various strange regulations:

1.

Individual applications are not accepted. In order to improve the issuance efficiency, the Singapore Embassy and Consulate simplified the issuance procedures. All visas are submitted by designated units/travel agencies, and individual applications are not accepted. You need to choose the corresponding consular district and agency according to your permanent residence or passport issuing place.

2.

Submit the application one month before the trip. Singapore Embassy only accepts applications for submitting materials within 30 natural days before departure, and cannot submit materials in advance. As long as the materials are complete, the signing speed is very fast, and the results can be obtained in 3 working days.

3. 300 yuan for uniforms. From 20 17, 1, the Singapore visa fee is uniformly fixed at RMB 300 yuan, including the visa fee of S $30 and the visa service fee charged by authorized travel agencies.

4.

Visa type spelling characters. Although there is no difference between delivery materials and fees, the validity period and the number of entries depend entirely on the mood of the visa officer. Common validity periods can be roughly divided into 35-day single/multiple round trips, 63-day single/multiple round trips, and multiple round trips in six months, one year and two years. Generally speaking, married people with hukou in big cities and stable jobs are more likely to get long-term visas.

5.

Single women hand in their visas carefully. Because of the imbalance between men and women in Singapore, if older single young women pay visas alone, the refusal rate is very high; On the contrary, high-quality single young men can easily get visas. If single women want to go to Singapore, it is recommended to apply for a visa with their parents or friends.

6. The Singapore visa is electronic, and you need to print it yourself after you get the PDF visa.

I personally applied for a Singapore visa twice. The first time was earlier. I gave it to the embassy myself. There were not many exit records at that time. The second time was found on a treasure by a travel agency on 20 17; Both times easily won more than two years of round trips. Personally, Beijing hukou+married status is a big advantage.

Candy is a nonlocal registered permanent residence, and she often travels to Singapore for business reasons. Give her 35 or 65 days every time she looks for a travel agency. Later, the two of us applied for a visa together as husband and wife. It is estimated that we were moved by my light and actually took it back and forth for two years.

My little girl at home went to apply for a visa alone. She was 2 years old and registered in Beijing. She provided us with a Singapore visa and some simple materials, and easily won multiple round trips for two years.

The best tourist season is suitable for all seasons.

Singapore is located near the equator, and the annual average temperature is between 23-3 1℃. There are no four seasons, only the difference between dry season and rainy season. February 65438 to March of the following year is rainy season with humid climate. There are usually thunderstorms in the afternoon, and the average temperature is about 25℃. June-September is a dry season with a dry climate and an average temperature of about 30℃. Every year from April to May, June10-June10, the monsoon alternates, the sun is very hot, and the highest temperature on the island can reach 35℃.

But even in the dry season, it rains almost every day, and it comes in a hurry every time, but it usually doesn't last long, about 15-30 minutes, so the season is not the main consideration. All year round, you can go if you want.

It is not recommended to go to Singapore during Christmas and Spring Festival. First, because it is the peak season, air tickets and hotels are more expensive. Second, during the Spring Festival, many Chinese shops will close down and cannot enjoy themselves.

Traffic guide foreign traffic aircraft

Beijing flies directly to Singapore, Air China operates twice a day and Singapore Airlines operates three times a day.

Shanghai's direct flights to Singapore all depart from Pudong Airport, and China Eastern Airlines and Singapore Airlines have four flights every day.

Probably due to the fact that visas can only be paid one month before departure, many tourists are afraid to book air tickets before departure, so booking air tickets early is particularly cheap. Singapore Airlines' direct flight to Beijing only costs 2,500 yuan, which is simply earned!

MRTwww.smrt.com.sg domestic transportation subway

Taking the subway in Singapore is the most convenient and comfortable way to visit, with extensive lines, quick and convenient transfer and clean and tidy carriages. It is definitely the first choice for travel.

But the air conditioner on the subway is too full, so be sure to bring an extra coat.

Ticket price: 0.8-3 Singapore dollars

Although the bus is slow, compared with the subway, it covers a wider area, has more spacious space and seats, and has cheaper fares.

The bus fare system is very complicated. If you don't have a transportation card, you must consult the cost of arriving at your destination before getting on the bus. The fare may be rounded off, so you can put in your own coin and have no change. It will be more convenient if you have a transportation card. When you get on the bus, you will automatically deduct the highest cost of the whole line. Brush it again when you get off the bus, and the unused money will be automatically refunded.

Special reminder: When the bus enters the station, you need to wave to the driver to stop. Before getting off at the station, you need to press the red button next to your seat. If no one rings the doorbell or waves at the station, the bus will stop. Moreover, most buses don't report to the station, and only some have electronic screens to display the name of the next station, which makes it easier to get off at the wrong station.

Ticket price: 0.7- 1.4 Singapore dollars excluding air conditioning; Air-conditioned car 0.8- 1.7 SGD

How to choose a transportation card 1? Top-up card Equivalent to Singapore's bus cards, including EZ-Link and Nets.

There are three kinds of Flashpay and KoolCard. The similarity between these cards is that the card fee of S $5 is non-refundable. Whether you take the subway or the bus, you can get a discount by swiping your card. But because only EZ-Link can pay the entrance fee of Sentosa Light Rail, tourists will not hesitate to choose EZ-Link!

EZ-Link can be found at the ticket office of the subway station and the passenger service office.

Center Flower 12 SGD (SGD 7 fare+SGD 5 card fee); You can also buy it at 7- 1 1 convenience store at the price of S $ 10 (S $5 fare+S $5 credit card fee). When the balance in the card is less than S $3, you cannot swipe your card into the subway station or take the bus when it is less than S $/kloc-0. Each recharge must be at least 10 Singapore dollars. If the amount is not used up, you can use the air ticket between Terminal T2 and Terminal T3 of the airport.

When office returns the card, it will refund the balance other than the card fee of S $5.

2. Auxiliary card standard

Tickets can be purchased at any ticket vending machine in the subway station and can be used 6 times within 30 days from the date of purchase. Choose the place of arrival when purchasing the ticket for the first time, and issue the card after the payment is successful; When buying a ticket for the second time, you need to put the one-way ticket on the machine first, and then choose to pay when you get to the place, otherwise you will spit out a new one-way ticket; The deposit is 0. 1, which will be automatically refunded for the third use and 0. 1 for the sixth use. This way is actually equivalent to buying a one-way ticket every time, mainly for environmental reasons, reducing the paper waste of subway tickets.

3. Day card. The official name is SingaporeTourist.

Pass), specially designed for tourists, can be divided into one-day tickets (10 SGD), two-day tickets (16 SGD) and three-day tickets (20 yuan), and can use basic public transport services for unlimited times. When purchasing a card, a deposit of S $ 10 is required for each card. You can return the card at the ticket counter and get the deposit back within 5 days after purchasing the ticket. However, the ticket counter of this TransitLink.

There are only the following stops:. SG/ place of purchase/

Note: If you take the subway less than 6 times during your stay in Singapore, it is recommended to buy the bid directly.

Tickets; If you take the subway and bus more often, it is recommended to buy EZ-Link, which can save the hard work of queuing for tickets every time, and the fare discount can almost offset the credit card fee; If you plan to travel to Singapore, you can buy a tour.

Pass, in fact, there are many scenic spots in Singapore. It is enough to take the subway two or three times a day. It is not recommended to take the day card.

Taxis Taxis are in Singapore. Taxis are called taxis. You can wait at the taxi stop, make an appointment by phone/online, or park on the roadside (except the central business district).

Taxi fares in Singapore are relatively cheap, ranging from S $2.8 to S $3.2 (within 1 km), starting at 1 km, and then charging S $0.2 every 2 10 m. If the total distance exceeds1km, the excess will become 0.2 per 175 m.

There are seven Texaco companies in Singapore, each with different colors and charges. Usually yellow and blue are cheaper, red, white and silver are slightly more expensive, and black is the most expensive. It also depends on the model. The price of BMW Mercedes-Benz is definitely more expensive. When queuing at the airport, if you are assigned to a black car or a luxury car, you can refuse.

Sentosa tour route: 2 days

Sentosa Island, a famous island, has the best facilities in Singapore, which makes people feel like they are in a sea of joy.

Just going to Universal Studios will take a whole day, or going to maritime museum to have a close contact with the S.E.A Aquarium and underwater creatures, then strolling around the island, and then stepping on the sand at the seaside, and the day will pass in a blink of an eye. There are many wonderful entertainment projects to choose from on the island, such as a water adventure park with various top water slides, a dolphin park where dolphins can get close to each other, an exciting and interesting dragon adventure park, and a crane ballet light water curtain show that should not be missed.

Marina bay: 1 day

Marina bay is an area reclaimed from the sea, where all kinds of buildings with a sense of design are scattered like building blocks.

The tour route of marina bay can start with Merlion, and first punch in the Merlion Park to take photos; Then go to Binhai Bay Garden to visit two "big shells", the flower dome and the cloud forest, and then look at the super trees like Avatar jungle; Next, you can go shopping in Jinsha Shopping Mall, or go to the "Pomelo Peel" Art and Science Museum to see an exhibition, and go to the "Big Durian" Binhai Art Center to see a performance. The best place to watch the sunset is Jinsha Hanging Garden, with a panoramic view of marina bay. The best place to see the night scene is the Singapore Ferris wheel.

Leaflets, enjoy the night view, and have a snack at the roadside stall below. Although I was in a hurry, I punched out almost all the scenic spots in marina bay.

Administrative district: 0.5 days

This area is not only the most historic area in Singapore, but also the center of art and culture.

This is a more suitable route for hiking, starting from Raffles Hotel, passing through the Capital Theatre, St. Andre's Church, National Gallery, Novo Court, Victoria Theatre and MICA.

Buildings, barge docks, Gavina Bridge, and finally to Merlion Park. It will be a meaningful trip to walk all the way through those ancient buildings in Singapore and enjoy the scenery in high-rise buildings.

Chinatown: 0.5 days

This is Singapore's Chinatown, which consists of many shops with China characteristics, selling all kinds of authentic China goods.

In fact, there is nothing to visit in Chinatown, just to feel the special atmosphere of Chinatown and sell the same things as Yiwu Commodity Market. The main purpose of coming here is to taste all kinds of delicious food and visit three religious temples, namely, Longhua Temple in Foya Temple (Buddhism), Hindu Temple in Amman, Mali, and Jammeh Church (Islam). * * * isomorphism has become a landscape of national integration and peaceful coexistence of religions.

Little India: 0.5 days.

This is the gathering place of all ethnic groups in India, just like the epitome of southern India.

I really can't find a reason to come here if it wasn't for a hand-picked rice or an Indian flying cake. This is probably the noisiest area in Singapore, with car horns, bicycle bells and Indian noise coming and going, and so is the so-called Indian style.

Gambangnan: 0.5 days

Named after the lush GelamTree growing in this area, the bustling Bukit business district is also here, which is a favorite nightlife destination for local Singaporeans.

What you can visit here is that the Sultan returns to the church. Hazi Lane, covered with graffiti, is a street among network celebrities. Crowded with tourists who come to take selfies in concave shapes. It takes a long time to take a picture of no one.

Jurong Bird Park: 0.5 days

This is the largest open bird park in Asia, and you can see almost all the rare and endangered birds in Southeast Asia.

Although there are different opinions about the Bird Garden on the Internet, if there is enough time, I still suggest going to see it. It's more natural to go shopping for one less day.

Singapore Zoo: 1 day

Singapore Zoo is recognized as one of the most beautiful zoos in the world and one of the top ten zoos in the world. Here, animals can roam in open habitats, instead of being piteously caged for tourists to watch.

Singapore Zoo, River Ecological Park and Night Zoo are all in one place. If you move quickly, you can visit them in one day. If you see animals that can't pull their feet like this, you just have to abandon the river ecological park after visiting the zoo and closing the park.

Food Singapore's food is so rich that it needs to be simple. See the link.
