When you arrive in Singapore, the rush of time can't allow you to think much. Put on a refreshing summer bunt, turn on the tap and wash your face, and start your shopping trip at once, otherwise you will only regret letting time slip through your fingers so easily. Although the flight of more than 5 hours is a little tired, don't fall in love with the bed in the hotel and think you can go back to China to make up the bed. It doesn't matter where the bed is, but you can't cherish the time of shopping.

The so-called "Man proposes, God disposes". Before going to Singapore, don't say "three days is not enough" if you don't make a shopping list. I'm afraid that if you stay for 30 days, you'll leave a regret that you haven't touched the classic items. In order to facilitate your Christmas shopping spree at the end of the year and welcome the bumper harvest in the new year, we specially took stock of the following necessities, for fear that you would sigh in vain "You should have regretted it ..."

■ cosmetics

As the best gift to please others, perfume ranks first. Limited edition fragrance not only smells pleasant, but also beautiful bottles are often very collectible and people can't put it down.

After the New Year, Singapore usually brings great surprises to people before the holidays, and the discounts on cosmetics are usually dazzling and lingering.

Recommended place: NgeeAnnCity, where many top brands in Europe and America are gathered, while Takashimaya Shopping Center, known as "shop-in-shop", gathers jewelry, fashion, cosmetics, gifts, electrical appliances, food and so on.

■ brand-name watches

Strolling along the famous Orchard Road in Singapore, luxury shops selling world famous watches can be seen almost everywhere, where various styles of world famous watches are concentrated, and the prices are much cheaper than those in China.

Experienced shopaholics know that the price of world famous watches in Hong Kong is more cost-effective. In fact, the price of watches in Singapore is even cheaper than that in Hong Kong. Such as Omega, Longines and Vacheron Constantin, the prices in Singapore are lower than those in Hong Kong.

Recommended place: LuckyPlaza is lucky not only because almost all the famous watches in the world are gathered here, but also because it can bargain. CortinaWatch, SincereWatch and RoyEastern are all famous watch chain stores. Almost all kinds of brand-name watches can be found here, and the prices are also very cheap.

■ Jewelry

There are as many jewelry agents as brand-name watches in Singapore, and dazzling jewelry can be felt everywhere in famous shopping centers. Before Christmas, many businesses have offered discounts of 30% to 50%. Many tourists are often dumbfounded when they see the price tag of jewelry, rushing to buy it, and even forgetting the exchange rate between the new currency and the RMB. Of course, even after a sober conversion, we still find that the price here is more cost-effective. For example, De Beers' diamond jewelry is 2%-3% cheaper than the mainland.

Recommended place: DelfiOrchard There are six-story boutiques here, including:

Royal Selangor tin ware, Watford crystal, Wedgwood porcelain and all kinds of jewelry.

■ Famous products of origin

Compared with other Asian countries, shopping in Singapore has many advantages. In Orchard Road, you can buy goods made by top brands in the world, such as "LV".

At the weekend, there was a long queue at Gucci store on Orchard Road. Although after queuing, when the beautiful women came out with GUCCI bags, their faces were filled with bright sunshine in early spring. In the traditional promotion seasons such as Christmas and New Year, the price reduction of many well-known brands is also the highest reason to attract people to Singapore.

Recommended place: Beauty Palace, a spacious shopping center with Miro department store, is especially suitable for buying famous brands of high-end men's wear, such as Gucci, Langfan, Dunhill, EtieneAigner, BrunoMagli, SalvatoreFerragamo, Cerutti, etc.

■ Singapore specialty

All kinds of merlion ornaments, orchid ornaments, tin products and wind-chasing medicinal oil are all Singapore specialties that are deeply loved by foreign guests.

Yala Street: There are colorful Malay batik prints, traditional Malay clothing, baskets, rattan, Malay jewelry and perfume.

Chinatown: The shops in Chinatown sell many traditional commodities such as oiled paper umbrellas, porcelain, tableware and jade.

Little India: Everything from handicrafts and Kashmir silk to spices and garlands can be found in this ethnic business district. Sarees, bronzes and Indian jewels are especially worth buying.

Holland Village: There are all kinds of Asian restaurants and European restaurants in this suburban village to taste delicious food. Antiques, handicrafts, electrical appliances and sporting goods are sold very cheaply.
