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.
Singapore's iconic punch-in attractions, there are many people... It is recommended to go in the evening, or early in the morning, otherwise it will be very hot! I have been to Singapore three times (excluding transfers), so I didn't wait for the lights to turn on. It was not hot in the evening. I took two pictures. It was good! 📌 Starbucks 🐻 in my hand was brought by my colleagues. It will be two weeks, when I go, all sold out... only the same pendant with plush...
No need to recommend 😅 Whenever visiting the SG, it’s the landmark. Really love the sky, the natural and the view. We went there in evening and the weather so nice. But the main character “ Merlion” was under construction at that time 🥲.
Merlion Park, nestled at the waterfront of Marina Bay, is a Singaporean icon that beautifully combines tradition and modernity. The majestic Merlion statue, spouting water into the bay, offers a picturesque backdrop of the city skyline. The park provides a peaceful escape with its scenic views and waterfront ambiance. Whether it's a leisurely stroll, a photo op with the iconic statue, or simply enjoying the city lights in the evening, Merlion Park stands as a timeless spot that captures the essence of Singapore's charm.
Merlion Park is the smallest park in Singapore, located on the banks of the Singapore River and one of Singapore’s iconic attractions. The park has platforms, shopping shops and restaurants for visitors to take photos and rest, and the stands can be turned into a stage for 100 performers, with audiences sitting on the stairs, backing up Marina Bay, enjoying concerts and wonderful performances under the stars. The park's two Merlion statues, the size of which was made of concrete by the late Singaporean artisan Mr. Lam Langxin, one of Singapore's iconic attractions, spewed a powerful column of water on behalf of Singapore's image. The park is not big, and it is usually tourists from all directions. Because of the river and the sea, the breeze is slowly, it is very pleasant to walk in the park. In 1972, former Singapore Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew cut the ribbon for Merlion Park. The park has now moved to the new home of Flotton 1.
New Horse Tour - Merlion Like Park 47 Merlion Park is a symbol and symbol of Singapore. Crossing a road, you will arrive at Merlion Park. Many people take pictures here, and many people take pictures of the water that the Merlion sprays. There is also a small Merlion on the back of the big Merlion, and there are many small pigeons in the square. It is recommended to sit on the square and rest for a while.
The water sprayed Mermaid and Sphinx, half mermaid and half sphinx, is a mythical symbol of Singapore and the most sought-after spot for tourists to visit Singapore. The lion head, which represents Singapore's earliest name, "Singapura", in Malay, means "Lion City".
New Horse Tour - Merlion Like Park 45 In Merlion Park, I see the most tourists during the day. Don't rush into the crowd to take pictures. You may as well go to the right face of the Merlion with your back. There is a row of stairs. Sit down and feel the other side of the noisy crowd. You and the Merlion right half of the lion head fish tail alone.
