Everything to know about Singapore
Here is
how to plan the best possible trip to this impressive city-state.
When to
go
Positioned
just one degree north of the Equator, Singapore is consistently tropical. So it's
more a matter of when not to go. Namely: the monsoon season between November and
January when the city is blanketed in regular rainfall.
What to
celebrate
Singapore
celebrates its independence in an annual celebration known as National Day. Every
year on August 9, the holiday is marked with great excitement that extends into
the evening, ending in a massive fireworks display over Marina Bay.
What to
eat
Hainanese
chicken rice is considered the national dish of Singapore, as you can find it just
about everywhere. If you are looking for something a bit spicier, try laksa--a coconut
curry-based noodle soup.
Souvenir
to take home
The Merlion
is Singapore's official mascot(吉祥物), a mythical beast with the head of a lion and the body of a fish. Many
local salesmen offer hand-carved figurines that fit easily into carry-on luggage
and will serve as a lasting symbol of your time here. Anyone who's ever visited
this place directly connects the symbol to the city.
Travel trip
Hawker centers
are open-air food markets featuring delightful street food. Eat at these as much
as possible to support local business and for a true taste of Singaporean dining
customs. While each has its own charm, Maxwell Road Hawker Center in Chinatown is
the most famous.
Instagram-worthy
view
A photo
from the world's largest rooftop infinity pool-- connecting the three towers of
the Marina Bay Sands-- is a must for many tourists here. But back on the ground,
Merlion Park affords a more impressive view of the hotel itself.
