2. Transportation: At present, there is no discount for travel tickets on the ez-link card in Singapore. Moreover, the 5 yuan deposit for card purchase after June 165438+ 10, 2003 cannot be refunded. With this card, you can basically get a 20% discount on public transportation, and the subway price is the same as zero ticket. The starting price of buses in 0.8 yuan is not cheaper than that of air-conditioned cars, but they all seem to be air-conditioned. We haven't met anyway. Coin-in the bus. there will be no changes. No one rang the bell on the suburban line, so the driver quickly left the station without entering the station. Subway tickets are contactless cards. When purchasing tickets at the ticket vending machine, a deposit of 1 yuan is charged for each ticket. After leaving the station, insert the card into the ticket machine and withdraw 1 yuan. The ticket machine only accepts zero tickets below 5 yuan. If there is no change, you can buy tickets at the manual ticket office, but people there will call later.
3. Eat: Hainan chicken rice in Singapore tastes terrible. We ate a famous snack bar (Yiqun Chicken Rice) recommended by Singapore Tourism Board, on Purves Street. There are many Chinese restaurants in that street, commonly known as Hainan Second Street, but this is the cheapest meal we have ever had. Adding a drink only costs S $4.70. On the last day, the Chinese food we ate in the underground of the shopping center on Orchard Road was even worse. We added one or two bowls of noodles.
Recommended: Old Bazaar Food Center. The cooking there is only 3-5 yuan, and it is fresh and delicious. Better than Chinatown Night Market. The worst is Orchard Road. However, Orchard Road has the best environment, with air conditioning, and the other two places have no air conditioning.
The pepper crab at the barge dock is worth a try. This is a live sea crab. It's just a little more expensive, S $40/kg, generally around 1.5 kg. This kind of pepper crab in Chinatown is much cheaper, S $25/kg, about 0.5 kg. But when I took it out, all I saw were dead crabs. It's small. The taste is ok, but the meat is much worse.
Generally speaking, eating in Singapore is expensive and the food is not delicious.
4. Play:
Three zoos in Singapore are now selling joint tickets to 30 yuan. You can also visit them all. The bird zoo is small and far away. Take the subway to NW27 Wenli and transfer to 194 or 25 1 to the gate. 194 running back and forth in front of the subway station and zoo. There is a timetable at the station, and the entrance and exit of the zoo are one stop. The zoo and the night zoo at the same time. 947 subway stations are all departure stations, with a long interval of 20 minutes, but they walk very fast. The time interval of 138 is a little shorter, but it is a large community near the subway station. There are many stops, and they never stop. It's just unpleasant anyway.
Sentosa can go by cable car. The subway line leading to NE 1 Haibin is newly opened, and the transfer distance with other lines is very long. After leaving the station, follow the instructions to find the cable car. The ticket office only shows three kinds of joint tickets. Note: The best second-class joint ticket can only be admitted after 4 pm. In fact, you can buy the lift ticket alone, 10.9 Singapore dollars per person (including Sentosa tickets of 2 Singapore dollars per person). The cable car can take you to Huibai Mountain and Sentosa. There are four sections on the ticket, namely, going upstairs to Faber Mountain, going upstairs to Faber Mountain, going upstairs to Sentosa, and going upstairs to Sentosa. Every time you sit, the staff will tear a hole. There are many people going to Sentosa from the building, and there is a need to queue up, but there are few people going to mount faber, so it is better to go directly to mount faber without queuing. You don't have to get off the bus when you come back from Huibai Mountain and pass by the building, just let the staff tear up the tickets. Sentosa's toll attractions are too many and too expensive, and the content is average. If you have been to Ocean Park in Hong Kong and Zoo in Singapore, don't go. It is better to play more on the beach and watch the music fountain at night.
Museums in Singapore are free from 6 pm to 9 pm on Friday. The layout of the museum is very interesting, and the interactive multimedia is novel and worth seeing. However, the museum itself has very little content, which can't be compared with domestic museums.
The night on both sides of the Singapore River is very lively, with restaurants on one side and places for tourists to rest on the other. It's good to see Raffles landing at night. It's also good to visit the Singapore River at night. There are several boarding points along the river, and there is one next to the Merlion.
5. Shopping: Chinatown is run by China people, and it is cheap, all in Chinese style. Rheumatoid drugs for treating traumatic injuries in Singapore are well-known, and can be bought in pharmacies in Chinatown, which is cheaper than supermarkets and other places. Everything on Orchard Road is more expensive, and there is nothing worth buying. The prices of things at the airport are basically the same as those at Orchard Road, except for the 5% consumption tax.
6. Service: Generally speaking, Singapore's tourism is not bad, but the information update is slow, and people often look for information online, even the local tourist map is not updated. Sentosa is being repaired everywhere, and the repaired road sections are not marked on the map. I found it impossible when I walked over. Sentosa's scenic spots are too expensive, and the toll booth is understaffed, so there is a long queue, and the two windows are not marked with how to arrange them, which is not good.
Chinese in Singapore can basically speak Chinese, but in many places, there is one member of each ethnic group on duty, not necessarily Chinese. Road names, stops, tourist attractions and performances are often only in English, so it is more convenient to know some English. I feel that the service staff in the night zoo are the most enthusiastic and the service is the most in place. There is also a special person at the bus station to guide you to change trains, which deserves to be the top tourist attraction in the world. Sentosa is poor. There are many places to get tourist materials, but although the materials are beautifully made, they often lack the most important point "how to get there", which is regrettable.
The check-in counter of China Eastern Airlines at Changi Airport is very annoying. Check-in is not allowed until more than 2 hours before departure. As a result, the queue was very long, and it was not in front of the check-in counter, but outside, and then it was put in one by one, which reminded people of the railway station in China. The hand luggage was checked at the boarding gate last time and said it was oversized and had to be checked. Tell the young lady that if she can't do it, she should tell us from the beginning. She just said that she didn't know what happened before, and now she must find out. There is no apology at all. As a result, the card on the luggage fell off. If I didn't personally guard it on the baggage conveyor belt, when I was in Shanghai, the staff inside would take it down as transit baggage. I wonder how the service of the second living room dedicated to Singapore Airlines is? I don't think so, otherwise Singapore Airlines won't flaunt itself as a service winner.
