Southeast Asia

Singapore

Have you ever been to Singapore ? For many Chinese tourists ,this small island in Southeast is a wonderful place to take a holiday .On the one hand ,more than three quarters of the population are Chinese , so you can simply speak Putonghua a lot of time . On the other hand ,Singapore is an English-speaking country ,so it’s a good place to practice your English !

language

Have you ever tried Chinese food outside of China ? Maybe you fear that you won’t be able to find anything to eat in a foreign country .In Singapore ,however ,you’ll find a lot of food from China .You won’t have any problem finding rice,noodles ,or dumplings. However ,if you’re feeling brave ,Singapore is an excellent place to try new food . Whether you like Indian food ,western food , or Japanese food ,you’ll find it all in Singapore !

food

Singapore is not fun at all

Safari

Most large cities have zoos ,but have you ever been to a zoo at night ? Singapore has a night zoo called “Night Safari” .It might seem strange to go to a zoo when it’s dark .But if you’ve ever been to a zoo during the daytime ,you might understand why this zoo is so special .A lot of animals only wake up at night , so this is the best time to watch them . If you go to see lions ,tigers ,or foxes during the daytime , they’ll probably be asleep ! At the Night Safari ,you can watch these animals in a more natural environment than a normal zoo .

One great thing about Singapore is that the temperature is almost the same all year round .This is because the island 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 !
