Geography: Singapore is a tropical island country, consisting of a main island and 63 small islands. Singapore's geographical position is one of the crossroads of the world. Unique geographical conditions make it develop into a major commercial, communication and tourism center. Located in the north of the equator136.8km, east longitude10338 ′ to east longitude1046 ′, north latitude109 ′ to north latitude129 ′.
The main island of Singapore is about 42 kilometers long from east to west and 23 kilometers from NATO in the south, with a total area of 682 square kilometers, including all islands. The larger islands outside the island are prout Airport (24.4 square kilometers), Pulauubin (10.2 square kilometers) and Sentosa Island (3.5 square kilometers).
Singapore is connected with Malaysia by a long dike and a bridge, and is separated from the main island of Riau Islands in Indonesia by water. It's only a short flight from Thailand or the Philippines to Singapore.
Population: Singapore has a population of 4 million, of which 77% are Chinese, 14% are Malays, 8% are Indians, and 1% are Eurasian and other nationalities. Malay fishermen are local aborigines, but since Sir Stanford Raffles came here to establish a British trade transit point, Singapore has gradually become a magnet, attracting thousands of immigrants and businessmen. In order to find a better life for themselves and their families, many people came here from China's southern provinces, Indonesian, Indian, Pakistani, Ceylon and the Middle East. Although intermarriage has a long history, each race has maintained its own culture while integrating into Singapore as a whole.
Ethnic groups: immigrants who left their homes early to rebuild their homes in Singapore brought their traditional culture to Singapore. The communication and integration among ethnic groups not only created a harmonious multi-ethnic society in Singapore today, but also left rich cultural characteristics.
Religion: Singapore's multi-ethnicity determines that its religions are also diversified. There are various religious buildings in Singapore, where you can see the domes of Hui churches, the spires of Gothic churches, Hindu temples with mysterious statues and China temples.

Historical background:
From 65438 to 0832, Singapore became the administrative center of Penang, Malacca and Singapore Strait. 1869, the opening of the Suez Canal and the invention of the telegraph and steamboat strengthened the importance of Singapore as an east-west trade center.
/kloc-In the 4th century, Singapore was involved in the struggle between Siam (present-day Thailand) and the Majaba Empire in Java for the Malay Peninsula, so its territory became a part of the battlefield.
Five centuries later, Singapore was involved in World War II. Although it was once considered an impregnable fortress, it was occupied by the Japanese in 1942. After the war, Singapore became a colony directly under Britain.
With the growing nationalist sentiment, 1959 established an autonomous government. 1On August 9, 965, Singapore gained independence.
Singapore is located in the tropics. Relatively speaking, the temperature changes little throughout the year, with abundant rainfall, high air humidity and warm and humid climate. The annual average temperature is between 23-365,438+0 degrees Celsius, and the temperature difference is very small. Therefore, Singapore is a paradise for people who like sunbathing, swimming, sailing and other water sports. People who hate the scorching sun will not suffer, because almost all shops, hotels, office buildings and restaurants in Singapore are equipped with air conditioners.
It rains all year round in Singapore, but the rainfall is the most from June 165438+ 10 to the following year 1 month. Relatively speaking, June-August is relatively dry.

Hong Kong's multiculturalism is also reflected in many festivals. This has brought more excitement and joy to Hong Kong people and more surprises to tourists. The traditional festivals in China are lively, festive and auspicious, and should not be missed. Western festivals are trendy, exciting, interesting and more exciting. Lunar New Year (the first month of the lunar calendar) On the occasion of the Lunar New Year, the streets in Chinatown are covered with colorful lights, which is a scene of prosperity. At this time, vendors also began to sell various traditional holiday gifts, such as tender willows, small oranges, plum blossoms and various snacks, such as dried meat. Red and gold decorations symbolizing good luck can be seen everywhere in shops; The sound of gongs and drums dancing with dragons and lions is deafening. On New Year's Eve, families in China get together for a reunion dinner. On the first day of the new year (that is, the first day of the first lunar month), every child can get a red envelope and kumquat representing good luck.
Every year during the Lunar New Year, the Spring Festival is held to welcome the new year (Singapore River Hongbao). Before the opening ceremony, colorful fireworks made the night sky colorful. Other interesting things are cultural performances and grocery markets, where you can buy all kinds of delicious food and all kinds of goods.
Christmas (65438+February 25th) The scene of Christmas in Singapore is very gorgeous. In this year's most eye-catching celebration, thousands of colored lights dotted the main business district of Orchard Road. In order to win the honor of "the best decorated building", restaurants and shops on both sides of the street were decorated. Singing poems in the street and other special forms of charity activities also add to the Christmas atmosphere. The religious significance of this festival has not been forgotten. The church will hold special activities on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day to celebrate this festival.
Lantern Festival, or Lantern Festival, is a festival to celebrate the victory of light over darkness and the victory of justice over evil. The Lantern Festival lighting ceremony marks the beginning of the celebration. During the festival, people go to the temple to pray. Of course, every family will also cook delicious holiday food. The temples and streets in Little India are elaborately decorated with colored lanterns and garlands, and with colored arches, the whole area is particularly dazzling. The fifth day of the fifth lunar month is the Dragon Boat Festival, in memory of Qu Yuan, a famous patriotic poet and outstanding politician in China. He threw himself into the river to protest against corrupt politics. Every year on his Memorial Day, people throw rice balls into the sea, which is said to attract those fish and sea monsters and prevent his body from being swallowed.
When Qu Yuan threw himself into the river, the fishermen rowed desperately to save Qu Yuan. Their behavior at that time evolved into an activity of today's Dragon Boat Festival-dragon boat race. In Singapore, the highlight of the Dragon Boat Festival is the World Invitational Dragon Boat Race held in East Coast Park! In this annual festival, dragon boat teams from all over the world gather here to compete. Small stalls around the competition venue sell all kinds of souvenirs and snacks, among which delicious bacon zongzi is the most popular. Mid-Autumn Festival People in China celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, but there are many opinions about its origin. According to folklore, it originated from the story that the Han people in China Yuan Dynasty contacted and overthrew the Mongolian rulers through moon cakes with secret messages. Others say it originated from the story of the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon in the ancient legend of China. No matter what its origin is, one thing is certain: Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the most beautiful festivals in China. During the festival, local children will pick up traditional colored lanterns and play around. All kinds of moon cakes are people's favorite holiday food, or they give gifts themselves. In the evening, China Garden becomes the focus of festivals, because there are usually traditional lantern shows and solve riddles on the lanterns activities.
Sentosa Sentosa is located in the south of Singapore Island, half a kilometer from the city center. This idyllic holiday island, its Malay name means peace and tranquility. It changed from a fishing village to a British base, and later became a holiday island at 1972.
The island is lush, with charming adventure parks, natural trails, museums and historical sites. Keep people away from the hustle and bustle of the city. People who love the sea can enjoy relaxing water activities on the beach. For those who love nature, Sentosa also has natural sidewalks-Dragon Road, Underwater World, Ji Hu Garden, Butterfly Garden and World Insect Museum. In terms of historical attractions, there are Fort Siroso, maritime museum and Vientiane Museum.
In terms of theme parks, there are Neverland, Flame Mountain and Golf Park. The Merlion Tower, which is 37 meters high, allows visitors to overlook the high-rise buildings in the urban area and surrounding islands from Sentosa. The musical fountain dances to the rhythm of the symphony after dark.
Sentosa is managed and developed by Sentosa Development Bureau, which also manages 10 smaller islands, including Guiyu Island, St. John Island, Sister Island and Ghost Island. These islands are a paradise for people who love swimming, diving and fishing.
The island also has its own transportation equipment. Visitors can travel to different destinations by monorail, bus and beach train for free. In addition, there are bicycle rental shops on the island.
Merlion Park Merlion Park is the smallest park in Singapore, with an area of only 0.005438+0 hectare. It is located at the mouth of the Singapore River. The theme of the park is the Merlion statue standing next to Anderson Bridge.
Merlion was designed by Brenner, the former curator of Vancliffe Aquarium, at 1964, which is also the former symbol of Singapore Tourism Board. The Tourism Bureau later commissioned the late famous sculptor Lin Lang to carve this 7-meter-high Merlion statue according to brenner's design at a cost of 1.65 million yuan, and put it in the estuary of Singapore in March 1.972. In addition, there is another little Merlion statue that can spray water in the park.
However, Merlion Park has become obsolete after years of baptism. Merlion also stopped spraying water on 1998 due to the damage of the water pump, and the small bricks on its body began to change color and peel off. Besides, the vast scenery of Merlion is now blocked by the Bay Bridge. Even if visitors go to Merlion Park for a close look, they can only see its back.
Besides, Merlion Park is too small to park vehicles and tourist buses. There are no shopping shops, restaurants and other leisure facilities in the park.
The Tourism Bureau decided to spend 6 million yuan to relocate Merlion Park. The new Merlion Park is expected to be completed in mid-2002. It will move from the present Elizabeth Trail to the river in front of the Fortune 1 ramp, and the little Merlion will also be near the Merlion.

After the implementation of this restructuring, it was renamed as City Hall, which was regarded as a big step towards Singapore's autonomous and independent constitutional system.
1, Singapore's experience in economic development
Singapore's traditional economy is dominated by commerce, including entrepot trade, processing and export, and shipping. At present, manufacturing and service industries are regarded as the twin engines of economic growth, and the industrial structure is constantly improving. In the 1990s, we paid special attention to the information industry and invested in a "Singapore Integrated Network" throughout the island. In order to further promote economic growth, we will vigorously promote the "regional economic development strategy", accelerate overseas investment and actively carry out foreign economic activities. The economy is dominated by five sectors: commerce, manufacturing, construction, finance, transportation and communication. Industry mainly includes manufacturing and construction. Manufacturing products mainly include electronic products, chemicals and chemical products, machinery and equipment, transportation equipment, petroleum products, oil refining and other departments. It is the third largest oil refining center in the world. Agriculture accounts for less than 1% of the national economy, mainly including poultry breeding and aquaculture. All the food is imported, only 5% of the vegetables are produced by ourselves, and most of them are imported from Malaysia, China, Indonesia and Australia. Service industry is the leading industry of economic growth. Including retail and wholesale trade, hotel tourism, transportation and telecommunications, financial services, business services and so on. Tourism is one of the main sources of foreign exchange income. The main attractions are Sentosa Island, Botanical Garden and Night Zoo. Currency name: Singapore dollar (SGD for short)
2. Experience in attracting investment.
After independence, the government adhered to a free economic policy, vigorously attracted foreign investment and developed a diversified economy. Since the early 1980s, we have accelerated the development of capital-intensive and high value-added emerging industries, invested heavily in infrastructure construction, and strived to attract foreign investment with the best business environment.
3. Experience in port and logistics management.
Since 1990s, the modern logistics industry has developed rapidly all over the world, and maintained a high-speed growth of 20% to 30% in 10. It is also called the three sunrise industries with high technology and finance. With its unique geographical advantages and government policy guidance, Singapore has now developed into one of the world's recognized logistics centers.
Six characteristics of logistics industry in Singapore
As a free trade city, Singapore has developed and improved air and sea transportation and telecommunications networks. On this basis, the logistics industry in Singapore has developed rapidly in recent years. By the end of 20001,the logistics industry has accounted for 8% of Singapore's GDP, and the number of employees in logistics-related industries has reached 92,000, accounting for 5% of the country's total labor force. World-renowned logistics companies, such as DHL, FedEx and Sink, have set up regional headquarters in Singapore. Modern logistics industry has become one of the pillar industries in Singapore. Singapore's logistics industry presents the following six characteristics:
high concentration
The Singapore government set up a logistics park near Changi International Airport, which attracted dozens of large-scale logistics companies and achieved good economies of scale. The high concentration of logistics industry in Singapore greatly facilitates customers to contact business, so that they can find professional logistics providers in all aspects of transportation, warehousing and distribution in the logistics park.
Professional strong
The logistics companies in Singapore have obvious similarities: they either provide all-round logistics services for enterprises in a certain industry or provide logistics services in a certain link for customers in various industries, such as supply chain services. The particularity of service is an important reason why Singapore logistics enterprises can provide high-quality services. Take the Accord Logistics Company in Singapore as an example. In order to successfully complete the professional delivery service undertaken by Swedish skf company in the Asia-Pacific region, Accord has set up skf warehouse.
Have great potential
Singapore's logistics enterprises are generally strong, which is mainly due to the good development environment created by the Singapore government, attracting the attention of many internationally renowned logistics companies, which have set their regional headquarters in Singapore, including United Parcel Service, the world's largest logistics company, and FedEx, the second largest. The powerful strength of these global logistics giants in terms of capital, means of transportation and management level has promoted the rapid development of Singapore's local logistics industry.
Extremely efficient
The logistics industry in Singapore fully embodies the meaning of "high efficiency", not only because of the superior geographical location of Singapore Logistics Park (adjacent to the airport and convenient transportation), but also because of its unimpeded connection. Taking the customs clearance procedure as an example, the Singapore government has realized paperless customs clearance by using the "trade network".
It is particularly worth mentioning that Singapore is mainly engaged in re-export trade, which means that many goods delivered to international transportation hubs such as Singapore's ports and airports are not imported from Singapore, but only stay for a short time and then transshipped to other countries. In this process, these transportation hubs have become important places for logistics. Therefore, many logistics companies set up special warehouses at the airport. For the goods that need to be transshipped in Singapore, the company will handle them on the spot at the airport warehouse, which not only improves work efficiency, but also saves transportation costs.
integrated service
With the vigorous development of modern logistics industry in Singapore, the scope of logistics services is unprecedented, and the logistics industry is developing in the direction of "tailor-made". In the past, Singapore logistics companies provided customers with a certain fixed service model. Now, these companies have turned to "tailor-made" services to meet the needs of customers as the starting point and the ultimate destination. Logistics companies and customers * * * jointly study and choose one or more of the most ideal service methods, and finally find out a solution that can provide customers with low cost to the maximum extent.
Powerful technology
Singapore Logistics Company has basically realized the automation of the whole operation process. They are all equipped with modern information technology equipment such as high-tech storage equipment, fully automatic three-dimensional warehouse, wireless scanning equipment and automatic deposit system. It can be said that high technology is one of the main supporting forces of Singapore's logistics industry, and network technology is the most important.
Network technology mainly includes the government's public network system and the computer technology platform of logistics enterprises. The Singapore government launched the "Trade Network" system to realize the online information exchange between enterprises and government departments. In addition to the public network provided by the government, logistics enterprises have spent millions of dollars to build a computer technology platform. Through this technical platform, customers can not only make business contacts such as placing orders, but also know the real-time spatial location of the delivered goods at any time through the company network after the consignment goods enter the company's operation, and know the delivery links and estimated delivery time of the goods at that time.
Modern technology also ensures the safety of goods. In the specific operation process of various logistics companies, bar codes and wireless scanners provide a guarantee for the safety of goods, which makes the delivery accuracy of tens of millions of goods exceed 99.99% every day.
The government supports the development of one-stop logistics.
Modern logistics industry is one of the pillar industries in Singapore and one of the important economic lifelines of the country. In order to build Singapore into an Asian logistics center, the Singapore government has made great efforts.
The development of the logistics industry planned by the Singapore government can be traced back to 1997 at the earliest. In July, 1997, the Singapore Logistics Advocacy Committee made a development plan. In the same year, Singapore Trade Development Council joined 13 government agencies, including Customs, Economic Development Bureau, Civil Aviation Bureau, Productivity and Standards Bureau, Information Development Bureau, Maritime and Port Administration, etc. , launch "1997 logistics industry upgrading and application plan". After the success of the plan, the Singapore government successively launched "1999 Logistics Industry Promotion and Application Plan" and "200 1 Logistics Industry Promotion and Application Plan". This series of plans successfully integrated logistics links such as transportation, warehousing and distribution into "one-stop" services. These plans mainly include the following four contents.
Process transformation
In order to formulate an efficient and scientific logistics process, the Singapore government has commissioned experts and consultants to conduct a number of studies, and encouraged people in the industry to actively participate in this activity. Under the leadership of the government, Singapore government consultants have successfully completed the research on topics such as "challenges and business opportunities of logistics industry", while the industry has completed research plans such as "pallet standardization".
infrastructure
After the Singapore government advocated vigorously developing the logistics industry, it immediately launched the logistics infrastructure construction plan. After 1997 became independent from the government structure, the Maritime and Port Authority devoted itself to improving the logistics infrastructure: on the one hand, it introduced high and new technologies, including electronic access control system and automatic bridge crane; On the other hand, opening a logistics park near Changi Airport will attract international third-party logistics companies to set up new headquarters and regional logistics centers.
human resources
65438-0999 The Singapore government introduced the latest development of logistics technology knowledge in the form of logistics lectures, and launched a number of logistics talent training programs such as cooperation between the government and schools, international exchanges, and encouraging potential talents in other industries to switch to logistics. At that time, the National University of Singapore and Georgia Institute of Technology jointly established the Asia-Pacific Logistics Institute in Singapore, offering dual master's courses. In 2000, the first batch of students from Asia-Pacific Logistics College graduated and obtained the Certificate of Registered Logistics (cpl).
Logistics technology
From 65438 to 0999, the government formulated the scientific and technological development plan of logistics industry, aiming at building public electronic corridors and promoting low-cost electronic data exchange in this industry. So far, the Singapore government has built public electronic platforms such as "port network" and "trade network", and will launch electronic invoice and payment system and electronic data exchange system for air transport industry.
Aviation logistics
The representative of Singapore aviation logistics is Changi International Airport. This airport is called the most modern international airport in Southeast Asia, with more than 20 million passengers every year. It has been rated as "the best airport in the world", "the best airport in the Asia-Pacific region" and "the most popular airport in the world" for many years. The Civil Aviation Administration studies and formulates the development plan of Changi Airport from time to time to ensure that the airport has sufficient capacity to cope with the strong growth of air traffic in the Asia-Pacific region. Changi Airport has Changi Air Cargo Center, which covers an area of 47 hectares and is a 24-hour free trade zone. This one-stop service center provides equipment and services needed for air cargo handling. Every day, whenever the goods unloaded from the plane are delivered to the consignee, it only takes one hour before and after.
Port logistics
Singapore has not only excellent deep-water ports, but also built four container terminals. Singapore Port Authority can handle more than150,000 containers every year, and it is the largest single container terminal operator in the world. The long-term goal of Singapore is to develop the country into an all-round comprehensive logistics hub integrating sea, land, air and warehousing. In order to achieve this goal, Singapore ports have recently adopted new measures. On the one hand, adjust the port management strategy, formulate new measures, prepare to open the port to allow shipping companies to own their own terminals in the form of joint ventures, and welcome international port management groups to invest and develop terminals in Singapore. On the other hand, pay attention to technological transformation and improve productivity by tapping internal potential. In March 2002, the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore launched a pilot project to adopt an automatic identification system in Singapore seaport to avoid ship collision and improve the safety of port navigation.
Land logistics
While actively developing public transport, Singapore has controlled the growth of private transport, mainly private cars, through various economic control measures. The public transportation system is complete and diverse, including large-capacity subway system, light rail system, bus system and taxi system, which is characterized by wide network coverage and fast and efficient operation. Electronic highway toll collection system is an advanced intelligent highway management system implemented by Singapore government. It consists of electronic automatic toll gates distributed at the intersections in the central area, ic payment cards installed on vehicles (all vehicles in China), data transmission and central control system. Any vehicle entering the central area will be deducted automatically when passing through the system.
4. Experience in industrial development and environmental governance.
Singapore's outstanding environmental record is attributed to its strong political leadership. Since Singapore's economic development, it has always adhered to a strategy, that is, making arrangements in advance, taking precautions and focusing on the long term. He expressed admiration for China's efforts in environmental pollution in recent years. In 1950s and 1960s, the environmental problems and trade on which Singapore depended could not provide opportunities for the employed population. In order to solve this problem and improve living standards, planning and planning must be carried out. However, in planning, they cautiously invest in environmental infrastructure measures, strengthen legislation and regulatory control, and strive to adopt the most advanced technology and learn from the cultures of other countries. In order to cope with the rapid industrialization, Singapore has carried out a wide range of environmental protection plans, including prevention, law enforcement and education. He said that Singapore is willing to learn from the experience of other countries, including China. To innovate with the help of science and technology and environmental protection and to succeed, people must cooperate with the government.
5. Comparative advantage and competitive advantage in regional economy.
Production of technology-intensive products.
6. Experience in regional economic planning and development strategy.
We should emancipate our minds and further broaden the new ideas of coordinated regional development and coordinated economic and social development.
7. Experience of government function transformation and role orientation.
8. Experience in agricultural industry
The proportion in the national economy is less than 1%. Mainly gardening, poultry raising, aquatic products and vegetable cultivation. Agriculture has 5,900 hectares of cultivated land, accounting for 9.5% of the country's land area. All grain is imported, and 80% vegetables are imported from Malaysia, China, Indonesia and Australia. Agriculture has retained the production of export agricultural products with high output value, such as planting tropical orchids, raising ornamental tropical fish and planting some traditional tropical cash crops.
