Tiring and happy 5 days of City Walk in Singapore
Preface.
To be honest, I have never included Singapore in the landmarks of my life. Because I have always had an inherent understanding of Singapore: it is both a country and a city, except for some island scenery, lack of natural landscapes, Singapore has a large proportion of Chinese, Chinese account for 70% of the total population, and the exotic style is not strong, because it is a city-state, cultural landscape, high-rise buildings in China, and I heard that Singapore has high income, expensive prices, things are not cheap at all, it feels a bit similar to Hong Kong, for those of us who grew up in big cities and like natural scenery, we are not interested in Singapore.
The three-year epidemic has prevented us from exploring the world, and when the ban is lifted, there are too many places we want to go, and Singapore is not in our travel plans. The reason why Singapore is made this time is mainly due to several factors, because the physical condition of the elderly at home is not too good, worried by the elderly, too long and too far travel is obviously not suitable, the near future can only travel around, the daughter and son-in-law are very filial, and have been planning to take the parents of both sides on a family trip, because we have been to Japan, South Korea and Thailand many times, and it just so happens that China and Singapore will be visa-free in both directions from February 9, 2024, saving the trouble of applying for visas, and you can go if you can say it. There are many direct flights from Shanghai to Singapore, the flight takes only five or six hours, and the key is that the air ticket to Singapore is also very cheap, less than 2,000 yuan round trip.
Singapore is a suitable place for parent-child travel, every winter and summer vacation is the peak of Singapore tourism, although we know that the temperature in Singapore in June is relatively hot, but in order to catch up with the students before the summer vacation, we quickly determined the itinerary, because we don't want to book red-eye flights and the like, and we don't want to waste time, at a glance at the Juneyao Airlines flight from Shanghai to Singapore, the time is also more suitable, the price is acceptable, and we immediately booked the Juneyao Airlines flight from Shanghai to Singapore at 9 a.m. on June 1, and the return flight at 4:30 p.m. on the 5th, starting the first family trip led by children.

About Singapore guides, experiences and precautions.
1. Entry
Singapore is now visa-free for China, but within 72 hours before entry, you need to fill in the electronic entry declaration form online or download the app MyICA Mobile, and the passport must be valid for more than half a year. It is super convenient to experience, more convenient than going to Hong Kong and Macau to enter customs.
2. Travel
Singapore is a city-state, small in size, very expensive, but public transportation is developed, we basically rely on the subway, bus and feet for this trip.
After reading the relevant Singapore public transportation guide, each of us applied for a single-channel chip visa or Mastercard international credit card (with wifi function) before going to Singapore, so as to save the trouble of buying a Singapore transportation subway transportation card to recharge and refund the card, just take the subway and bus directly to swipe the credit card.
Singapore has a total of 6 MRT lines and 3 light rail. Singapore Airport has four terminals: T1, T2, T3 and T4. To Singapore Changi Airport Terminals T2 and T3 can be directly taken by MRT Green Line, and the time to the city center is about 30 minutes. If you arrive at Terminal T4, you need to take the free bus to Terminal T2 or T3 and transfer to the subway, if you arrive at Terminal T1, you can transfer to the free train to Terminal T2 or T3 to transfer to the subway. It should be noted that the subway green line is a bit similar to the previous Shanghai Metro Line 2 transfer to the same line of subway at Guanglan Road, they arrive at EW4 (Tanah Merah, Tanah Merah station) after 2 stops, and then get off the bus and transfer to the subway green line subway in the direction of Joo Koon, otherwise they will take the subway back to the airport. Singapore The subway is clearly marked and convenient to take and transfer, but it should be noted that the platforms in different directions may not be on the same floor, and you must find out the direction before taking the platform.
Singapore cars are right-hand drive cars like Hong Kong and Macau, the bus stop is on the left side of the road, the opposite of China, and Singapore has many one-way streets, and even a six-lane road It may be a one-way street, so when looking for a bus stop, please remember to observe on both sides of the road. Just get on and off the car and swipe the card, be sure to remember to get on and off the car to swipe once, so that it will be calculated according to the mileage, if you forget to swipe when you get off the bus, you will be deducted according to the longest mileage. When you see a bus entering the station, you have to wave to get on and ring the bell when you get off, and the bus in Singapore does not stop at every stop, and the driver will stop when he sees someone getting on and off.
There are three ways to get to Santosa Island: walking, MRT, and cable car.
Walking: From Vivocity, walk along the cross-sea trail, the whole journey is about 500 meters, and it takes about 10-15 minutes. There are awnings along the trail, and the whole process is free of charge.
Sentosa Express: This is a small monorail that connects Vivocity and Sentosa. Take the Purple or Orange Metro Line to Harbourfront, then go up to the 3rd floor of VivoCity to find the MRT ticket office, the fare is S$4, children are free, and the MRT is free when leaving the island.
Cable Car : There are two lines: the Faber Hill Line and the Sentosa Line. They have a total of 6 stations: Faber Hill, Harbour Station, Sentosa Station, Merlion Station, Siloso Station and Imbio Station. You can choose to get on and off the cable car at any stop. The Sentosa Line cable car is a loop line, as long as you don't leave the station, you can ride back and forth unlimited times, it should be noted that the line transfer is carried out at Sentosa Station. On the Faber Hill line, you need to walk from Sentosa Station to the Imbio Lookout; On the Sentosa line, you need to walk from the Imbio lookout to the Sentosa station,
Once on Sentosa Island, the island's MRT light rail, beach train, and AB bus are free.
3. Stay
It is said that Singapore is expensive, it is indeed reflected from the aspect of living, it is difficult to find a more decent hotel below 1000 yuan, we spent a lot of energy looking for a hotel before traveling, a good location, a 5-star hotel, below 2000 basically cannot be found, and finally we found a four-star, located slightly southwest of the city center, about seven or eight minutes walk from Tanjong Pagar Station on the Green Line of the MRT Green Line M Motel Singapore City Centre, this hotel is an old hotel, but the room area should be relatively large in Singapore hotels, and you can also see the sea view, which is similar to the grade of Ramada and Courtyard by Marriott in Hong Kong. Because most of the hotel policies in Singapore are after check-in at 15 o'clock and before check-out at 11 o'clock, in order not to toss, we stayed in the same hotel for 4 nights in Singapore.
4. Food
Because the income level is here, the price is indeed relatively expensive, in my experience, according to the domestic price multiplied by 2, it may be the price level here, alcoholic beverages are particularly expensive. Of course, there are also many specialties in Singapore. Because our hotel does not include breakfast. We tried several local specialty breakfast shops in Singapore.
Yakun: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Singapore's national breakfast Yakun is also quite famous among tourists, with a classic combination: kaya toast + double egg + iced coffee. Yakun's toast is sandwiched with the secret recipe of coconut coffee sweet sauce, the crust is crispy, but the double eggs are not my thing, they are both sugar eggs...... There are many chain stores in Yakun, and it is said that there will be a long waiting time for many stores, but we went to this one on the second floor of Tanjong Pagar Square, not far from where we stayed at the hotel, and there were not many people. We also had breakfast at a Cantonese tea restaurant in Tanjong Pagar Place, and it tasted quite good.
The most distinctive place is the so-called Singapore National Canteen Food Center, also known as the Hawker Center, also known as a market in the local population, all over the city, from the more high-end Sands Food City and VivoCity Food City similar to the big food generation, to the old market located in the financial district, a large food stall city, similar to our community canteen, Maxwell Food Center with many authentic foods recognized by locals.
Sands Food City: ⭐⭐⭐
We arrived in Singapore and went to Sands Food City for our first meal of the evening. Because we were going to watch the light show at Marina Bay that day, we had dinner at the Sands Food Pavilion on the B2nd floor of Sands Shopping Center, which is similar to the food and snack streets in China's big shopping malls, but there are so many people that there will be people waiting next to almost every table, which is very uncomfortable, and I feel that the meal needs to be hurried, and after finding a place in a hurry, I quickly ordered a beef set meal, which tasted good, but it was indeed a bit expensive to eat such a meal for more than 100 yuan.
Maxwell Food Center: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
On the second night of my stay in Singapore, I went to Maxwell Deli Centre, which is recognized by locals as having many authentic delicacies, where the stalls look messy, the clothes are sloppy, and the dirty work is also done by the locals, but there are several popular delicacies in Singapore, especially when the meal arrives, there will be a long queue of Hainan chicken rice and wife tofu pudding, but unfortunately we came late, and the daily Hainan chicken rice and wife have been bought. I could only eat and bought another Hainan chicken rice from a stall that was still open, and it tasted good.
VivoCity Food Court: ⭐⭐⭐
On the third day, to save time before going to Sentosa Island, I had a breakfast and lunch meal at the VivoCity Food Court, and the claypot rice with Bak Kut Teh tasted good.
Lao Pa Sa: ⭐⭐⭐
On the third night, we went to the Old Market in the financial district, which has a history of nearly 200 years, which is the oldest hawker center in Singapore, gathering famous local food stalls, satay barbecue and prawn skewers are particularly famous, skewers outside Lao Pa Temple, outside the smoke, the popularity is really strong, the atmosphere is with some Internet celebrity food stalls in China, we ordered satay barbecue and prawn skewers, not as amazing as imagined.
Although I have experienced the high prices in Singapore, I can't always solve it at the delicatessen no matter what. In Singapore, it can be regarded as eating three full meals.
Jinjin: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Coming to Singapore for lunch on the second day, I went to the Internet celebrity store, the old Chin Chin Eating House, the door is full of luxury cars, walking into the store to see that the environment decoration inside is very ordinary, but his Hainan chicken rice has become a legend in Singapore, Hainan chicken rice feels average, the curry fish head is very delicious, its uniqueness is to combine curry and fish head, forming a rich taste, comfortable taste of the dish, this dish represents the cultural transformation of Singapore and the integration of multiple ethnic groups, It also showcases Singapore's unique food culture, and feels that the dishes are a fusion of Cantonese, Fujian and local cuisine, forming Singapore's unique food taste.
Spread the human bak kut tea: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Coming to Singapore to eat an authentic meal of bak kut tea is also a must, looking at the guide, the most famous are Songfa and Huang Yaxi. We also plan to try it at one of these two homes. On the 4th day in Singapore, after visiting the Sky Garden sky garden on the 51st floor of the CapitaSpring building, we walked to the National Gallery of Singapore, near Clarke Quay Bridge South Road, and saw this pioneer bak kut tea near Clarke Quay Bridge South Road, and saw that this store is also a time-honored brand in Singapore, and now it has been passed down to the third generation, because it only opened at 11 a.m., and there were still more than ten minutes before the opening , decided to taste Bak Kut Teh here, ordered his Bak Kut Teh and several signature dishes, this store's Bak Kut Teh belongs to the Hainan pie, the soup color is clear, the pepper is strong, it tastes fresh and spicy, especially suitable for Singapore's humid and stuffy climate, and other dishes are similar to Hainanese cuisine.
Chicken rice: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Dinner on the 4th day, because we went to Chinatown, when we did the guide, we knew that there was a Michelin restaurant that claimed to be the cheapest, a one-star Michelin restaurant Fan chicken rice, we chose this restaurant for dinner, this store is in an alley in Chinatown, it is said that there is usually a long queue here, we may have gone early that day, there are not many people, we ordered his main oil chicken and matching rice, the oil chicken is golden and shiny, it looks very appetizing, the belt is burnt, but the meat is very water-locked, one bite, It doesn't feel firewood at all, but it is smooth and soft. His other noodles and pho are also very good, and the price is affordable, about 5-8 SGD/person.
5. Climate
Singapore is located in the tropics, summer all year round, controlled by the equatorial low pressure zone all year round, and is an equatorial rainy climate, with a small annual temperature difference between the annual temperature and the daily temperature difference. The average temperature ranges from 23 to 34°C, the average annual rainfall is around 2,400 mm, and the humidity ranges from 65% to 90%.
However, it should be noted that the indoor and outdoor temperatures in Singapore vary greatly, similar to Hong Kong, and the air conditioning temperature is very low, so it is recommended to wear a light jacket when entering the room.
6. Calling card, network
Before traveling, I spent more than 20 yuan to buy a 5-day 1GB (per day) 4G traffic Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia universal phone card on a certain treasure, and the network speed in Singapore is very smooth. There is free internet in hotels and many public places.
7. Exchange rate, currency, payment method
1 Singapore dollar to about 5.35 yuan, WeChat and Alipay in Singapore There are not many places that can be used, most places can be paid by credit card, this trip we brought a single-channel chip visa or Mastercard international credit card (with wifi function), so we exchanged very little Singapore dollars.
8. Socket converter
Singapore uses British standard socket.
9. APP required for travel
Download Google Mpas, Tripadvisor, Grab (taxi, ordering, Singapore version of Meituan) on your mobile phone. Singapore has a large proportion of Chinese, and language communication is barrier-free, but many signs are basically in English, and it is necessary to download a translation software. In addition, "Dianping" is also easy to use in Singapore.
10. Attraction experience
We arrived in Singapore that afternoon and started the tour immediately.
Merlion Park, free. This is the Singapore sign, a must-see place to come to Singapore, there are many people, and it is enough to play for ten minutes. On the second day, we took a duck boat on the water, and it was a feeling to see the Merlion from a different angle.
Marina Bay Sands Shopping Plaza, Marina Plaza, free of charge. Coming here is like coming to Shanghai and you must visit the Bund. It's the best place to see Singapore's bustling city, while Marina Square is the best place to catch a glittering light show.
The second day's tour starts from Gampanganam.
Gampang Glam is a Muslim area in Singapore. The golden dome here Sultan Mosque, Haji Lane, is free. The Sultan Mosque with its magnificent golden roof is one of the most fascinating religious buildings in Singapore, and directly opposite the mosque is Arab Street, which is the home base of Arabs and has a lot of Arabic specialties. Haji Lane is a colorful alley with vivid and interesting graffiti walls everywhere, perfect for taking pictures and hanging out, come here to take a stroll and experience the charm of multiculturalism, an hour is basically enough.
We took the duck tours duck boat at the starting point in Suntec City, the duck boat is an amphibious boat, that is, it can not only run like a car on land, but also swim like a boat in the water, especially the moment of launching, which is particularly exciting, the whole journey is one hour. After going ashore, you can go ashore after passing through the Ferris Wheel, National Gallery, Orchard Road, St. Andrew's Church, Big Lawn, Peace Square, etc. The duck boat fee is not cheap, which is more suitable for parent-child travel.
Gardens by the Bay is mainly divided into: Flower Dome, Cloud Forest, Super Tree (Sky Tree). Gardens by the Bay is free, and the Flower Dome, Cloud Forest, and Super Grove (Sky Tree) boardwalk are charged. We bought a package ticket for the Flower Dome and Cloud Forest, the super tree (sky tree) is more suitable for watching at night, because we are going to go to the Sands Sky Garden at night, so we did not buy a ticket for the super tree (sky tree) plank road, and then we overlooked the super tree (sky tree) at the Sands Sky Garden, and it is true that the super tree (sky tree) with lights at night is spectacular and beautiful. The Cloud Forest is certified by Guinness World Records as the "World's Largest Glass Cold Room", covering an area of 1.2 hectares, larger than two football fields, and a cloud forest inside a glass greenhouse. Simulates cool, humid climates in tropical mountains and other high-altitude regions around the globe at altitudes of 1000 to 3500 meters. Entering the cloud forest, you will first be shocked by the huge artificial waterfall, there is a 35-meter-high artificial mountain and a 30-meter-high waterfall in the venue, and the water vapor that is sprayed out regularly makes the entire cold room cloudy and misty, like a fairyland. The mountain is full of dense trees, creating a green scene, surrounded by a variety of tropical plants, such as orchids, pitcher plants and ferns, etc., when we went, Yunwu Forest was jointly holding a precious orchid exhibition with Cambodia, and all kinds of strange and beautiful orchids were dazzling. The glass greenhouse where the Flower Dome is located is currently the largest greenhouse building in the world and is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records. It showcases nine gardens in an ever-changing way, including the Mediterranean Garden, Olive Grove, South African Garden, South American Garden, and more, which showcase exotic flowers and plants from semi-arid regions on five continents. Walking through the flower dome is like entering a microscopic version of the world garden, with vast nature and all kinds of exotic flowers and plants as far as the eye can see. The plants here are regularly renewed with the seasons, and while admiring the plants, you can feel the perfect fusion of nature and art. The playground program of the Esplanade Garden should first visit the Flower Dome, the exit of the Flower Dome is the Cloud Forest, and the Cloud Forest comes out of the Super Tree (Sky Tree).
Sands Sky Garden Observation Deck, charge. It offers a 360-degree panoramic view of the world-class skyline of Singapore's CBD and the best panoramic views overlooking the entire Marina Bay and the Straits of Malacca. Especially at night, the high-rise buildings and brilliant lights reflect the colorful and brilliant reflection of Marina Bay, and the landscapes such as the Flower Dome, Cloud Forest and Supertree on the other side are another scenery, as if they are in a world of drunken gold fans.
The price of the daytime show and the night show is different, and the admission ticket after 5 pm is expensive, and sometimes there may be a large number of people and the flow will be restricted and suspended. Therefore, try to buy pre-sale tickets in advance, choose a daytime admission time ticket, and wait for dark in the sky garden after entering.
On the third day, a full day, we were arranged on Sentosa Island.
There are three ways to go to Sentosa Island: walk, more than ten minutes, no cost, and you can also visit all the way to see the sea. MRT, fast, convenient and labor-saving. We took the cable car to the island. It's the most expensive, but it offers a panoramic view of Singapore's cityscape and Sentosa Island from the sky. Because in the morning Universal Studios Singapore opens at 11 o'clock. We first went to the S.E.A. Aquarium, which opens at 9 o'clock. It is known as the number one aquarium in Asia, because I have never been to other aquariums, so I can't make a simple judgment. The shark sea area is a highlight of the aquarium, and the huge cylindrical fish ecological area is also a bit of a highlight, the biggest attraction is that there is a very large water tank in the center of the aquarium, but the photo effect is not good, but I think the jellyfish area is the most amazing and filmable.
I went to Universal Studios in Los Angeles more than 9 years ago, and I felt that this was the most fun theme park in the world. I also experienced the scene of a long queue. Look at the guide and say that Singapore Universal Studios is the smallest in the world. I didn't feel very much looking forward to coming here this time, just wondering if I could make up for the last time I went to Universal Studios Los Angeles and didn't play The Mummy's Revenge due to lack of time. This time I finally fulfilled my long-cherished wish, and surprisingly I didn't have much time to queue up, and I personally felt that the ultimate battle of the Transformers 3D showdown was the most fun in the entire Universal Studios.
In addition to the Oceanarium and Universal Studios, Sentosa has many other entertainment on the island, and the island scenery is also very beautiful, we went to Palawan Beach, the southernmost point of the Asian continent. Walk through the Internet celebrity suspension bridge at the southernmost point of the Asian continent and climb the Twin Peaks Tower. Overlooking the Strait of Malacca from a distance, it is also super beautiful to check in and take photos here. Then take the Sentosa Line cable car to see Taosa Island from the air, the blue sky, white clouds, turquoise sea, and the busy Channel of Malacca, which is very nice. In the evening, we took the Faber Hill Line cable car back to watch the beautiful sunset over Singapore. In fact, there is not enough time to visit Sentosa Island for a day, the best way is to stay on Sentosa Island for one night.
Day 4 is another full day of Singapore city tours.
First stop: Sky Garden at CapitaSpring. Free. But you must make an appointment on their official website beforehand. CapitaSpring, this 51-storey tower is a green haven in Singapore's CBD. The group has also invested in many real estate projects in Chinese mainland, and the Capitron Dream in Shanghai is also their property. We first took the elevator to the Sky Garden on the 51st floor of the building, which is the best vantage point overlooking the Singapore CBD and the Sands Hotel. Located on the middle level of the 17-20 storey building, Green Oasis is a 100-metre-high, 35-metre-high on-site park that rises between tropical trunks and canopies in the form of a spiral corridor, surrounded by lush greenery and trees, and a small Jungle Gym jungle fitness area. The earlier you make an appointment on the official website, the better, look at the guide and say that there is an appointment half a month in advance, if you can't make an appointment, you can also spend 10 Singapore dollars on the spot to buy coffee and go up.
After leaving CapitaSpring, we headed to the National Gallery in Singapore. Admission to the museum is free, but some exhibitions require a separate ticket. The National Gallery is located in the heart of Singapore next to the Parliament Building. The exhibition hall is composed of the old government building in Singapore and the former High Court in Singapore, with N exhibition halls from the B1 floor to the fifth floor. The 5 large stairs and 2 bridges in the museum have become Internet celebrity attractions for many tourists to check in and take photos at the museum. I prefer a large podium outside the top floor of the museum, which is the best place to see the city of Singapore and the exterior of St. Andrew's Church opposite.
Praise Square, not far from the National Gallery of Singapore, is free. Across the road from Praise Square is the famous Raffles Hotel in Singapore. One of the few remaining convents in the world, Praise Square combines modernity with five neo-Gothic classical buildings, attracting a large number of tourists to visit and take photos because of its old-century style. There are also many bars and coffee shops in Praise Square, so it's a good place to rest if you're tired from walking.
Because I have relatives who have studied at the Singapore School of Management (SMU), we walked to the National Museum of Singapore and passed by here, and stopped by to check in. This school in Singapore can be included in the top three. His family's finance major is also among the top in Asia. Walk through the Singapore School of Management campus. A classic neoclassical building seen across the street is the National Museum of Singapore. National Museum of Singapore, admission is required, but free on select days. The National Museum of Singapore is divided into two parts: the Singapore History Gallery and the Singapore Living Galleries, and there are not many things to see because Singapore itself has a short history. On the contrary, there is a separate area called "Forest Story", which is very interesting, this area is all holograms, people are immersed in it, immersed in it.
Singapore National Museum is next to Fort Canning Park, next to the Old Jubilee Street Police Station is a gate of Fort Canning Park, and Clarke Quay is on the river in front of the Old Jubilee Street Police Station. All three are free.
Fort Canning Park is huge, and the large lawn and white main building in the park are beautiful to take pictures of. There is also an Internet celebrity check-in point tree hole in the park, in fact, this is the courtyard of the air-raid shelter left over from the war, due to the age, the wellhead is overgrown with vines, looking up from the bottom of the well, the sun shines through the green trees that are hidden, it is quite beautiful, but there are long queues with people queuing up to take pictures of this hole.
The old Jubilee Street Police Station, which was once home to a police station and police and family quarters, was renovated in 1997 with 927 windows that were as dazzling as a rainbow, making it known as the "Rainbow Cake Version of a Historic Monument". It is now the Singapore News and Arts Department building with many high-quality galleries inside. The 927 colored windows have attracted countless tourists to check in, and the best place to take pictures is across the road with a wider view.
Clarke Quay is a pedestrian street built along the Singapore River, with many bars, bars, and colorful facades. At first glance, it looks very similar to Copenhagen, Denmark. Here are Singapore's top picks for food and nightlife.
Our last stop of the day was Chinatown in Singapore, which retained the style of the Chinese going to Nanyang, the Pearl Building, Yuhua Domestic Products is one of the landmarks of Chinatown, and eating in the surrounding alleys is the main theme, and then there is a bustling scene of a small commodity market. There is also a magnificent Buddha's Tooth Temple Longhua Courtyard, a temple imitating Tang Dynasty architecture completed in 2007 and enshrined a Buddha's tooth relic with a history of more than 200 years.
As we leave Singapore on the fifth day, there is one more place to check in, and this is Changi Airport. I really admire the imagination of Singaporeans, Changi Airport, which has been voted the best airport in the world for 8 consecutive years, makes all the unexpected possible here. In the airport, which was originally known as the most beautiful airport in the world, there is a large commercial complex "Star Changi", which includes food and catering, shopping and leisure, landscape gardens and many other elements, the most famous in the mall is the rain whirlpool waterfall, which is said to be the highest indoor waterfall in the world, surrounded by lush greenery, the middle of the water rushes down, but it is like being in the outdoor natural world, and there are different lights at night, which is exquisite.
From the arrival hall on the first floor of Terminal 1, there is direct access to "Jewel Changi", the departure hall of Terminal 2 is a few minutes' walk via the pedestrian bridge, and from the departure hall of Terminal 3 there is a small train to "Jewel Changi", which will also pass by a waterfall. "Star Changi" has a total of 7 floors, walking from the corridor to the 3rd floor, we first took pictures of the waterfall on the 3rd floor, and then we went to the 4th floor, the perspective here will be better, you can also capture the scene of the airport train passing through the waterfall, the 5th floor is the starry sky garden, walk up the sky suspension bridge here, you can watch the rain whirlpool more closely, but the starry sky garden is charged. Changi Airport also has 3 big slides, after we saw the "Star Changi" rain whirlpool waterfall, we took a small train to the T3 terminal, this T3 slide is in the public area before check-in (not in the boarding gate), but unfortunately, it is not open for maintenance these days, and there are other big slides T2 and T4, but you need to enter the customs to play. Our return flight was at Terminal 4, and the two young friends took advantage of the last bit of free time to play with the big slide in Terminal 4. Changi Airport There are so many fun and beautiful places to visit the airport, we went to Changi Airport more than 4 hours early. I thought there should be enough time, but I didn't expect to almost delay boarding in the end, and I didn't have time to look at the Peranakan History Gallery in Terminal 4, nor did I have time to taste the rich Singaporean food in the terminal, but fortunately, there are many souvenir shops in Terminal T4, Singapore's TWG tea, colorful cakes are all here, and it's time to board if you buy a little in a hurry.
