Have you ever been to Singapore? For many Chinese tourists, this small island in Southeast Asia is a wonderful place to take a holiday. On the one hand, more than seventy-five percent of population are of Chinese descent, so you can simply speak Putonghua a lot of time. On the other hand, Singapore is an English-speaking country.

Maybe you fear that you won’t be able to find anything you want to eat in a foreign country. In Singapore, however, you’ll find a lot of Chinese food. It’s easy for you to find rice, noodles, or dumplings. If you’re feeling very brave, Singapore is an excellent place to try new food. Whether you like Indian food, Western food, or Japanese food, you’ll find them all in Singapore.

One great thing about Singapore is that the temperature is almost the same all year round t seldom drops below 20℃. It’s warm and wet the whole year This is because it is so close to the equator. So you can choose to go whenever you like—spring, summer, autumn or winter! And, of course, it’s not too far from China. For those who enjoy the sun and the beach, Singapore is an ideal place.

On the northeast coast of Singapore, Changi Village is far from the noise of central Singapore. The buildings are modern, but there’s still a village terminal (晚期的) atmosphere. There’s a small, attractive seaside camp site across the Changi Creek from the bus terminal, where you can watch the planes gliding into Changi airport while relaxing on the sand.

Most large cities have zoos, but have you ever been to a zoo at night? Singapore has a night zoo called the “Night Safari”. It might seem strange to go to a zoo when it’s dark.
