Singapore is strategically located in the southern section of the Straits of Malacca, at the crossroads of cultural exchanges between the East and the West. Since modern times, it has been a place with frequent business exchanges. Nowadays, Singapore's service industry and commerce are developed, which can provide shoppers with a good shopping environment and excellent after-sales service. Every June and July, Singapore will hold a shopping festival, when many goods will be greatly discounted. Every year 1 and February, after the Lunar New Year, shopping malls in Singapore will also launch discounts.

There are many kinds of goods in Singapore, from brand-name watches and jewelry to toys and cosmetics, and there are also many shopping places. On Orchard Street, which is similar to Wangfujing in Beijing, there are many shops, large and small. Among them, the large shopping center represented by Yi 'an City sells all kinds of world famous brands, and the quality of goods is guaranteed. Although Chinatown, Little India and Yala Street with ethnic customs are not as prosperous as Orchard Street, the unique ethnic handicrafts attract tourists to linger. Merlion souvenirs, gilded Hu Jihua and other tourist souvenirs are deeply loved by tourists, and are also good gifts for relatives and friends. It is worth noting that in Singapore, shopping needs to pay a shopping tax, which is 5%. If you buy more than S $500, you can apply for tax refund. In a small shop, you can bargain for things. According to the size of the store, the business hours are roughly 10:00-2 1:00, while in Little India and Chinatown.

Orchard Road is an upscale shopping area in Singapore, equivalent to Ginza in Tokyo. The streets are full of commercial buildings, and the shopping environment is elegant, but the corresponding prices are also high. The DFS global duty-free shop in Singapore, a world-renowned DFS duty-free group, is a must-see for every fashion follower. Yi 'an City Shopping Center, the largest shopping center in Singapore, is known as the shopping pearl of Singapore. Eastman Orchard Store occupies half of the entire Wesma Square, with all kinds of high-end goods. Also worth visiting is Lucky Business Center, where there are few first-class brand-name clothing stores, but other goods are complete and affordable. DFS Mall in Singapore covers an area of113000m2. It consists of a four-story shopping center, covering the world's top brands. Shop design is fashionable and elegant, carefully providing customers with a comfortable shopping environment.
