Singapore is really not recommended for budget travelers because...

Singapore in February is perfect for travel! The weather is pleasant, neither too hot nor too cold. Follow me on a wonderful journey to the Lion City! 1. Preparation Documents and Flights: Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months and apply for an electronic visa in advance (if applicable). Book your round-trip flights to Singapore in advance for better trip planning. Currency and Exchange Rate: The official currency of Singapore is the Singapore dollar (SGD). It's recommended to exchange some Singapore dollars at Bank of China or other designated institutions before departure. Currently, about 5.2 RMB equals 1 SGD. Most places in Singapore accept international credit cards and mobile payments like Alipay, but some small businesses may only accept cash. Weather and Clothing: Singapore has a hot and humid climate year-round, with temperatures ranging from 21–32°C. Pack light, breathable clothing, sunscreen, and a hat. Bring a portable umbrella as it rains frequently in Singapore. Voltage and Plugs: Singapore uses 220V and British-style three-pin plugs. Prepare a travel adapter to avoid inconvenience. Transportation and Communication: Singapore has an excellent public transportation system, including the subway, buses, and taxis. Purchase a tourist pass (like an EZ-Link card) for convenient travel. Consider buying a local SIM card or activating international roaming service to stay connected. 2. Itinerary Day 1: Gardens by the Bay - Merlion Park - Marina Bay Gardens by the Bay: One of Singapore's iconic attractions, Gardens by the Bay boasts beautiful floral displays and spectacular Supertrees. Stroll through the Flower Dome and Cloud Forest, and experience the magic of nature. Don't miss the Supertree Grove light and sound show in the evening. Merlion Park: Take photos with the iconic Merlion statue and experience Singapore's unique charm. Enjoy the dazzling night view of Marina Bay Sands and the Marina Bay Floating Platform. Marina Bay: Take an evening stroll along the Marina Bay promenade and enjoy the scenery. Ride the Singapore Flyer or capture the beautiful night view of Singapore from the Sands SkyPark Observation Deck. Day 2: Sentosa Island Sentosa Island: Known as the "State of Fun," Sentosa Island is a popular tourist destination. Enjoy the sun, sand, and waves. Visit Universal Studios Singapore for thrilling roller coasters and movie-themed attractions, or explore the S.E.A. Aquarium, home to over 100,000 marine animals. Relax on Siloso Beach in the evening and enjoy the warm sea breeze and charming island atmosphere. Day 3: Singapore Zoo - River Safari Singapore Zoo: This open-concept zoo is a great place to see various rare animals up close. See adorable pandas, kangaroos, and other animals, and enjoy exciting animal shows. River Safari: Adjacent to the Singapore Zoo, the River Safari focuses on freshwater ecosystems. Learn about the ecological environments and biodiversity of different rivers. Day 4: Fort Canning Park - Chinatown - Clarke Quay Fort Canning Park: As one of Singapore's historical sites, Fort Canning Park has a rich history and beautiful natural scenery. Stroll through the lush greenery and enjoy panoramic city views. Chinatown: Singapore's Chinatown is home to numerous East Asian restaurants and unique shops. Savor authentic Singaporean cuisine and buy souvenirs. Visit traditional Chinese cultural landmarks like the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple. Clarke Quay: Singapore's nightlife hub, Clarke Quay, is a great place to enjoy the night view and savor delicious food. Take a river cruise, or enjoy a delicious dinner and stroll along the riverbank. Day 5: Jewel Changi Airport - Orchard Road Jewel Changi Airport: An extension of Changi Airport, one of the world's best airports, Jewel Changi Airport features the world's tallest indoor waterfall, along with numerous shopping, dining, and entertainment options. Enjoy shopping, dining, and the beautiful indoor waterfall. Orchard Road: Singapore's shopping paradise, Orchard Road, is home to many international and local designer brands. Enjoy shopping and experience Singapore's fashion and trends. Visit ION Orchard, Ngee Ann City, and other malls for a one-stop shopping experience. Things to Note: Singapore has many ants. Keep your indoor space clean and avoid leaving food residue to prevent ant infestations. Occasional rain in February, so bring an umbrella. Air conditioning is strong indoors, so bring a light jacket to avoid catching a cold. Be mindful of regulations on eating in public places, such as the no-eating rule on the subway. Press the button when crossing the road to avoid long waits. Singapore is a charming country. My February trip was wonderful and unforgettable, and I look forward to exploring its wonders again. Singapore is truly a captivating country. My February trip was fantastic! I look forward to exploring more of its beauty next time.
