Singapore Travel Guide 'Up' Nanny Level
📞About Phone Cards and Currency Exchange
Before the trip, for convenience, I decided to exchange currency in my home country. But in retrospect, I didn't really need that much cash. In Singapore, you can almost use credit cards, Alipay and other electronic payment methods, and you can enjoy discounts when using Alipay in duty-free shops at the airport. Therefore, I suggest only exchanging a small amount of cash, which can also be done at Changi Airport. At the same time, I also prepared a Visa chip credit card, which is convenient for payment and brushing subways and buses (although there are some fees, it is very convenient).
To meet the needs of short, medium and long-distance travel, I bought Singtel's 5G/4G Singapore SIM card on platforms like TB. These SIM cards offer different choices such as 7 days, 14 days, 28 days, which are very suitable for my travel plan. And, I can pick it up at the UOB window at Changi Airport, Singtel's signal is very good. In addition, these SIM cards also come with a transportation card, which can be used on subways and buses, and it has already been topped up with 3 Singapore dollars.
⛰About Attractions and Routes
My itinerary is as follows: Hotel-Singapore River-Merlion Park-Marina Bay Sands Hotel/Gardens by the Bay-Dinner/Bar. Alipay Gold and above members can apply for a membership card at the 'SANDS LIFESTYLE' counter next to the food court of Marina Bay Sands Mall or Marina Bay Sands Hotel, so that they can get two free tickets to the Sky Garden of Marina Bay Sands, just need to make an appointment in advance. Don't forget to visit the Flower Dome, Cloud Forest, Super Tree (two free light shows every night at 19:45 and 20:45) and OCBC Skyway (you can overlook the entire garden and Ice Bay).
Next is Sentosa-Universal Studios-Orchard Road. I remind everyone not to choose to go to Universal Studios on weekends, because Universal Studios in Singapore is very small, most of the projects have single-person channels, so even if you do not buy VIP channel tickets, you basically do not need to queue, very convenient. And, you can reach Palawan Island by walking over a suspension bridge from Palawan Beach, you can go to check in the southernmost point of the Asian continent, but remember to go early, because you can't go up the suspension bridge after five o'clock.
Fook Ning-National Museum/Art Gallery, Old Xi Street Police Station & Central Fire Station-Chinatown. When I was taking pictures in the popular tree hole in Fook Ning, the queue time was very long, so I suggest everyone to arrange time in advance. When we went, the art gallery was free, so remember to make an appointment to buy tickets in advance, the art gallery is very large, it is worth spending a whole day to visit carefully. To be honest, Little India is not highly recommended, I personally feel that Haji Lane is more worth visiting, and the Michelin restaurant is not as delicious as imagined.
Finally, it is New Changi. In fact, Changi Airport itself is a very fun place, I arranged it on the day of the return journey. The most famous is the indoor waterfall (HSBC Rain Vortex), the waterfall can be photographed from the viewing platform on each floor, but only the airport shuttle can be photographed passing in front of the waterfall in the bridge part. Each terminal has many fun and photogenic places, such as the Cactus Garden, Orchid Garden, Sunflower Garden, Dream Garden, etc., and they are connected by a small train, which is very convenient.
After eating crabs at Jumbo, we just caught the 20:00 boat. It was really nice to take a tour with the boat and see the scenery. The only problem was that the explanation was in English, which was not friendly to poor students. I could only understand some of it with difficulty. It would be better if I could plug in my own headphones and listen to the Chinese explanation like in the Night Safari.
visit this bar called iki at riverwalk. it has a really nice view of the singapore river. you can also walk further down to boat quay
A must visit when in Singapore. You can take a river cruise or stroll along the river to see Merlion, Jubilee Bridge, Asian Civilization Museum, Clarke Quay. Experience Singapore's culture and food all along the river too
The Singapore River runs from the source of the Jinsheng Bridge to the Marina Bay, and since 2008, the Singapore River has become a Vale after being built on the South Marina dike. The mouth of the Singapore River is the old port of Singapore, which originally developed around the port, so the mouth became a trading, commercial and financial center.
The route is quite unique, and you can see buildings of different styles. There are also some food streets by the river, making it convenient for finding food!
Nice view when walking to Clarke Quay river, see the Lion, beautiful Garden By the Bay Singapore, with big Casino, enjoy yummy famous local food ,curry laksa, fishball noodle, chilli crab, chicken rice, hokkien mee....
I think I highly recommend this trip to everyone. It’s really wonderful spots. The transportation is convenient and good to use.
Singapore River was an important trading center in Singapore in the early years. The busy scene of small ships loading and unloading goods here is gone. In its place, one side of the river has become a place for people to relax, eat and entertain. After ten years of renovation, the river has become a clean and hygienic river. On the other side are magnificent buildings such as museums and opera houses. Friends who come to Singapore for tourism must come and visit.
