⛱️Must-visit spots: Little India, Haji Lane, Chinatown, Merlion Park, Gardens by the Bay
🌄Travel tips: This trip to Singapore 🇸🇬 was booked through Trip.com as a 6-day, 5-night private tour. From the moment we landed, a driver picked us up and arranged all the following activities. If you love traveling with friends 🧑🤝🧑 but don’t like planning, consider booking a private tour!❗️❗️On Day 1 💡, upon arrival in Singapore 🇸🇬, the driver waited for us at the exit. Then we were taken to our hotel, the Raffles Singapore. Since our flight arrived early at 7 AM, we checked in and went straight to sleep 💤 because we were so tired. On Day 2 💡, the driver waited for us in the hotel lobby 🏨. Our first stop was Little India, full of rich Indian 🇮🇳 vibes, with a curry aroma—just kidding 😄, it’s actually the smell of spices. Both the architecture and the people give a strong Indian 🇮🇳 feel. If you’re interested in India, start your Singapore trip here [Awesome][Awesome][Awesome]. Next stop ➡️ Haji Lane, which has many unique shops selling clothes 👔, jewelry 💍, drinks, and more ➡️ Chinatown 🐂, named because there was no running water back then and water was transported by ox carts. Here you can try local specialty restaurants and buy unique crafts. ➡️ Merlion Park ⛲️, Singapore’s most iconic spot—strike a pose for photos! ➡️ Gardens by the Bay. Everyone knows Singapore 🇸🇬 is a garden city, so you must experience being surrounded by greenery and flowers! That’s the itinerary for Day 1!
🏨Accommodation tip: Raffles Singapore is well located, right below is Raffles Place, making dining and shopping 🛍️ very convenient.
🍽Dining recommendation: Song Fa Bak Kut Teh. Singapore 🇸🇬’s bak kut teh is super delicious and a bit different from Malaysia 🇲🇾’s. If you visit Singapore, you must try their bak kut teh!
💗Other tips: Singapore 🇸🇬 is a tropical 🌴 country, so remember to use sunscreen and mosquito repellent. Also, the weather can change suddenly with rain, so bring an umbrella ☔️! The temperature difference between indoors and outdoors can be big, so bring a light jacket [Smart].
