Singapore, a subtropical garden city-nation at the tip of the Malay Peninsula and at the "crossroads of the world," presents a vibrant convergence of rich and diverse Asian cultures. In recent years, Singapore’s tourism has shown significant characteristics of a younger demographic and more mature traveler demands. There is a growing emphasis on upgraded hotel quality, indulging in distinctive cuisine, and immersive cultural experiences. Coupled with the Singapore Tourism Board’s continuous efforts to innovate travel styles—encouraging visitors to discover new facets of the destination and fostering emotional resonance—travel here offers even more anticipation, surprises, differences, and possibilities.
According to transaction data from CYTS’s Aoyou platform, from 2018 to 2019, over 72,000 Singapore tourist visa services were provided. Independent travel and semi-self-guided tours to Singapore accounted for more than 65%, with demand for family small-group tours and private custom travel services increasing by 20%. A total of 50,000 local activity tickets were sold in Singapore, ranking it as the second most popular destination. With its friendly, diverse, and trendy character, Singapore has become one of the top choices for young families seeking short-term overseas trips. Against this market backdrop, CYTS Aoyou’s “Singapore Every Day” was launched, and this article will show you how to experience the “newness” of Singapore in a truly unique way.
– Endless Gastronomic Delights –
Singapore is a culturally diverse country, and this is reflected in its local cuisine. Among the must-try authentic dishes is chili crab, renowned for its deliciousness across Asia. Other highlights include the Michelin one-starred Hainanese chicken rice noodles, as well as Dahua Pork Jerky Noodle. The durian and frog porridge in Geylang and the local street food at Lau Pa Sat are also packed during mealtimes. For instance, the Aoyou Travel “Singapore 4 Nights 6 Days Free & Easy” and “Singapore Malaysia 4 Nights 6 Days Tour” itineraries specially include tastings of Peranakan cuisine, or sampling special dishes such as Hainanese chicken rice, Bak Kut Teh, and butter prawn toast chicken, allowing travelers to fully enjoy the local flavors while exploring.
Besides authentic Singaporean cuisine, Indian, Malay, and Western dishes are equally impressive. Odette, which was listed in The World’s 50 Best Restaurants in 2019, is located inside the National Gallery Singapore and serves French cuisine with Asian influences.
– Make the Most of Sentosa Island? –
You might not be familiar with the name “Sentosa,” but you’ve surely heard of Universal Studios Singapore, the S.E.A. Aquarium, and the Maritime Experiential Museum… All these world-class attractions are concentrated on Sentosa Island, saving you the hassle of traveling around. Beyond these well-known sites, you can stroll along its beaches, enjoy water sports, or visit various visual art exhibitions and the impressive Swan Lake Ballet.
There are multiple ways to get to the island—cable car, MRT, bus, ferry, or taxi—showcasing Singapore’s transportation convenience. The cable car is highly recommended, offering a closer view of the blue sky and a bird’s-eye perspective of Sentosa, covered in tropical greenery. Our “City + Theme Park” series of free & easy products even include complimentary Universal Studios tickets and S.E.A. Aquarium packages. For an additional 95 RMB, you can also book attractions like the Skyline Luge and Skyride.
– Covering All the Instagram-Worthy Spots? –
In September 2019, the Singapore Tourism Board officially announced the launch of its annual brand campaign “Serendipity.” It aims to deliver unexpected travel experiences through its six key personas: Foodies, Urban Explorers, Party Enthusiasts, Collectors, Culture Lovers, and Adventure Seekers.
From the 191-year-old Sultan Mosque to niche boutiques hidden among the colorful murals of Haji Lane, urban explorers freely navigate between history and modern fashion, discovering this culturally vibrant place.
Singapore boasts 11 bars listed in the 2019 Asia’s 50 Best Bars. These venues display a variety of spirits and mixology ingredients, almost like stepping into a museum of liquors, where bartenders’ expert creations kick off the night life for party enthusiasts.
A perfect blend of old and new elements, the new modern glass and metal features enhance the elegance of neoclassical architecture. The National Museum of Singapore engagingly and inspiringly narrates the country’s colorful past and present to culture lovers.
– Breathtaking Marina Bay Sands Infinity Pool? –
Marina Bay Sands is one of Singapore’s iconic landmarks, invested in by the Las Vegas casino group from the U.S., with construction costs among the highest in the world. This integrated landmark hotel in Singapore combines a mall, casino, museum, and various restaurants, and also features a “hidden gem”—the world’s highest outdoor pool, located on the 57th floor rooftop, stretching 150 meters long.
This pool is three times the length of an Olympic pool and is only accessible to hotel guests. Right across from the pool is the world-renowned Gardens by the Bay. Imagine lying by the pool on the 57th-floor rooftop, with your view aligned with the sky, overlooking the lush greenery nearby… A selfie taken here will definitely dominate your social feed.
Such an amazing hotel is a must in our offerings. Whether it’s the “Shining Sands” series 6-7 day semi-self-guided tour of Singapore or the “Breathtaking Sands” series 4 Nights 6 Days flexible free & easy package, both include stays at Marina Bay Sands, letting you fully experience the luxury charm of the Lion City.
– Celebrate Chinese New Year with a Southeast Asian Flair? –
Chinatown in Singapore is called Chinatown. Here, you’ll find authentic Chinese cuisine and quaint traditional crafts. On the “Singapore 6-7 Day Semi-Self-Guided Tour,” travelers have ample opportunity to immerse themselves in familiar Chinese culture. The historic Jamae Mosque and ancient Indian temples complement the surrounding Chinese buildings, reflecting Singapore’s cultural inclusiveness.
Meanwhile, Singapore might be one of the countries outside of China with the strongest Chinese New Year atmosphere. As Chinese New Year approaches, Chinatown is adorned with festive lights, and the Southeast Asian-style Lunar New Year markets are bustling with people. On New Year’s Eve, there’s also a countdown event.
The annual “River Hongbao” celebration at Marina Bay, besides the giant God of Fortune lantern display, also features colorful light shows and a fireworks spectacular on New Year’s Eve—must-do experiences during the Spring Festival.
The Singapore Chingay Parade, with over 40 years of history, is the most lively event of the Chinese New Year in Singapore. Performers dressed in traditional costumes from various countries hold grand parades in the heart of the city.
– World-Renowned Jewel Changi –
On April 11, 2019, the new multidimensional lifestyle landmark “Jewel Changi” located in Singapore Changi Airport was unveiled. Situated at the airport’s core, covering 135,700 square meters, it was designed by world-renowned architect Moshe Safdie. It is a comprehensive structure integrating airport facilities, landscape gardens, shopping and leisure, as well as hotel and dining options.
Jewel Changi ingeniously blends world-class shopping and leisure facilities with an indoor garden. Upon entering Jewel Changi, the first sight is the HSBC Rain Vortex located at the center of the building. It is currently the world’s tallest indoor waterfall, standing at 40 meters high, surrounded by idyllic landscaped gardens like the Shiseido Forest Valley. Other attractions such as the Manulife Sky Nets, Hedge Maze, Mirror Maze, and Discovery Slides blend seamlessly with the unique indoor garden environment. Recently, news that two American social media influencers spent four full days at Changi Airport gave us a camera-tour of this “world’s best airport,” with many netizens saying they’re now almost hoping for flight delays.
By now, you might have been tempted by the Michelin one-starred Hainanese chicken rice, dreaming of swimming in the 57th-floor infinity pool at Marina Bay Sands, or imagining yourself joining the Transformers 3D battle at Universal Studios…
