The new Ma 8, self-tour documentary — Lion City impression

Singapore is a tourist city, but I feel its a small part of the famous attractions and, therefore, can only say on Singapore have an initial impression.

1 attractions

1. Sentosa

Sentosa is a famous scenic spot of Singapore, Sentosa "not tantamount to Singapore" theory.

Advance online at Sentosa, on one of spots have a preliminary understanding. Therefore, plan to take the tramway to spend Cedar Mountain (Mount Faber.), and then from there enter Sentosa remoteness. In the mountains, you can see the appearance of the city, Singapore will also see opposite the Sentosa Island. But the way the last cable car ride, you can see in practice the busiest port in the port of Singapore.

Personal opinion, Sentosa Island is worth to visit attractions are: Images of Singapore (wax museum, learn about the history of Singapore), Underwater World (Sea World), Dolphin Lagoon (pink dolphin show), Music Fountain (music fountain), etc.

Entrance free maps can take, depending on the itinerary on your own schedule.

Note: 1, dolphin show 5: 30 p.m. admission and stopped and the underwater world is-tail, these two places are far away, it is necessary to pay attention to calculate time.

I just because the dolphin show place too late to lead to wasted ticket. 2, music fountain and two performances in the evening, 7: 8: 40 and 40, in addition, you also need good weather conditions. Want to see the scene you want to advance a number of seats, or there is no place to hide.

Other attractions, Sentosa is picking the right, you can bring a swimsuit at the beach in the Sun, or a water bubble.

3, the Presidential Palace

Located near Orchard Road, Metro up to, but only the public holiday is only open to the public.

Just catch the labour day, we also had the privilege to 1 may enter the presidential tour of noon.

The Presidential Palace are referred to as the "White House" in Singapore, is the President's life and work.

Enter the Presidential Palace, like a security check on the aircraft, after all, not a general Park. Enter the gate is open lawn, like a big garden, this reminds me of the Imperial Palace in Beijing + Summer Palace. In the Presidential Palace are open to the public areas of the deepest, Conference, Banquet Hall, is exhibiting at a dinner meeting with the President, as well as guests of furniture gifts of States.

In fact, the scenery of the Presidential Office there is nothing special, but the tiny in Singapore have such a big I was so amazed many Presidential Office.

If we also come up with a similar Garden, I'm afraid people would certainly not satisfied.

4, other attractions

Botanical Gardens, zoos, Bird Park, because of the time did not, nor is my interest.

China Town in the vicinity of our hotel.

Singapore itself more Chinese, China Town is sensible not anything special.

Singapore River and Kramer head (Clarke Quay), me hotel is beside the River, next to Clarke Quay, in the evening after the river there are many open-air bars on each side, feel and new world some similar.

Little India is India's ghettos, arriving there, the City State sent a lot of pedestrian crossing the street is not so comply with the rules of the road.

I also saw an indoor market, basically as we here in the vegetable market, filled with the smell of aquatic products.

Second, the Singapore domestic

Traffic

MRT (subway) should be the main means of transport, inexpensive, individuals feel that cheaper than Shanghai, generally within 1 block.

Buy a ticket, but also contains 1 Yuan deposit, outbound to go to the ticket refund on.

MRT's transfer station has two, one is larger, you need to walk a long channel and up and down stairs several times; another is the same platform change, or just upstairs/downstairs just upstairs/downstairs you can transfer.

MRT train generally quiet, returned to Shanghai after think Shanghai subway particularly noisy.

Maybe the long-standing habit, in many details we do need to learn from others.

3 Changi International Airport

Singapore Changi International Airport is the world's largest airport, facilities are also available.

Check-in, if you have baggage to check, need to go through prior to check-in at the counter and directly.

Unlike in China by the check-in counter for check-in baggage. This change greatly accelerates the speed of the check-in.

Completed check-in, you can enter the terminal building.

Since Singapore is not present, the domestic flights entering the terminal building to go through border inspection before.

Next, you can stroll around the Terminal duty-free shops.

Duty-free shops are many, variety, various gifts, food, alcoholic drinks, cosmetics, electronic products, software, almost nothing.

Enter the appropriate flight Terminal, is the final inspection.

This change greatly improves access to Terminal waiting time.

Fourth, the overall impression

Singapore to my overall impression is good, overall leader in Shanghai for several years.

Urban environment is very good, the roadside are basically green, particularly in and out of the airport Expressway, tree-lined. Cities in general living consumption is not very high, where people should say is live and work.

Of course, Singapore also has a relatively poor, such as the previously mentioned little India, overall environment compare chaos; suburb of urban landscape and town centre are not small in comparison.

5. reminds the

To Singapore is 5 am, after various procedures done, 6 points on the MRT downtown.

May is near the equator, Singapore dawn very late, because there is the MRT to the ground, it is still very dark. However, I walked out of the MRT station, although just after half past 7, is the head, very hot in the Sun. According to the map view in advance, I want to go to the hotel should be along the road to the North, so I looked up the Sun, the decision to move towards the Sun in the opposite direction to go. Go for a while, come to a junction, suddenly found the way and I should see. At this point, I took out the map, is found to reverse. And with the watch on the compass direction, found the Sun is shining from the North. This is my response here, Singapore is 1 ° North latitude, the sun beating down at this point really should have been in Singapore to the North, a phenomenon that is always met in Shanghai.
