The main shopping spots in Singapore are around Orchard Road, the government building and Binhai Plaza, and around Scotes Street on the north shore of Singapore. Orchard Road is an upscale shopping area in Singapore, equivalent to Ginza in Tokyo. There are many commercial buildings in the whole street, which bring together world-famous goods. The shopping environment is elegant, but the corresponding price is also high. There is the largest shopping center in Singapore-Ian Shopping Center, which 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. It's worth a try in Lucky Business Center, where there are few first-class brand-name clothing stores, but other goods are available at reasonable prices. However, if you want to buy brand-name goods, you'd better choose during the discount period.

Around the government building and Binhai Plaza, there are Binhai Plaza, Raffles Garden with complete small objects and so on. Chinatown, Little India, Wookiee Yala Street and Holland Village are all places where all kinds of clothes or handicrafts with low prices and ethnic characteristics are sold. In addition, Changi Airport and Meinian City are famous duty-free shops. (Note: You can shop safely at Merlion Sign Store. Basic knowledge of consumption tax rebate method and bargaining).

Special nursing tips: shopping malls in Singapore are managed in a unified way, while shopping malls in China are generally managed in a unified way, but managed by brands. This is the biggest difference between fitting and paying the bill. After browsing in the mall, you can choose your favorite clothes to try on in the fitting area, and each fitting can't exceed three pieces at most. There are generally rooms above 10 in the fitting area, but there is still a queue when selling. After fitting, the clothes you don't like can be put on the hanger next to the fitting room and you can leave. There won't be a salesperson urging you to pay the bill, but the goods you like will be paid directly at the cashier.

Business hours: Most shops in Singapore are open from 10: 00 am to 9: 00 pm, and some shops are open until 10: 00 pm on weekends.

Receipt (invoice): department stores use cashier receipts to shop in small stores. Please ask the shopkeeper for the shopping receipt yourself.

Commodity guarantee: Stores usually provide international guarantee valid for one year. Shoppers have to ask for it themselves, and sometimes they have to pay extra fees. Remember to check whether all the information required in the guarantee has been filled in and stamped with the store seal. Please do not accept incomplete copies or warranties.

Remarks: Since June 65438+10/October 65438, 2003, the GST has been adjusted to 5%.

Hong Kong is a veritable shopping paradise. The most cost-effective shopping in Hong Kong is to buy famous brands, watches, fashion and cosmetics. The higher the grade, the better. It's much cheaper than the mainland. Shopping has to go to Causeway Bay, Times Square, Liyuan, and many Japanese department stores. Jardine Plaza is an open-air market, which is very popular with young people. If you want to buy famous brands, you should go to Central. Tsim Sha Tsui Metro Station in Kowloon has Park Avenue, and there are also many local and European brand-name fashion shops. There are Harbour City, China Harbour City, Sun Plaza, Salisbury Road and famous shops nearby. You can visit the new world by the way. Pacific Place in Queensway is an encyclopedia of consumption, where Lane Crawford and Seibu department stores are located, and there is a food street below. Things in Mong Kok and Yau Ma Tei are very cheap. Mong Kok Center, Xianda Square, Trend Zone, etc. They are all new things that young people like. Temple street is rather chaotic, so girls should not go, and boys should pay attention to safety. Cosmetics should go to Salsa, Zhuo Yue and Rainbow in Causeway Bay, gold ornaments should go to Nathan Road, audio-visual equipment should go to Sai Yeung Choi Street in Mong Kok, antiques should go to hollywood road, and that's it. If you want to play, you can go to Ocean Park and Disneyland. If you like the seaside, you can go to Repulse Bay. If you want to see the night view, you can go to Taiping Peak.

There is a long line of seafood restaurants along the coast. We recommend the special crab and pineapple meat above the rainbow restaurant. Lantau Island is the largest island in Hong Kong, and Phoenix Mountain and Dadong Mountain are also here, but you can't visit it all day, so you can choose your favorite route. This is the end of the game article. Let's go to the food article. Chinese food is mostly concentrated in Tsim Sha Tsui and Central District. Jindao Bird's Nest Chaozhou Restaurant at No.3 Salisbury Road is very famous. Golden oil horn and boiled eel are delicious, and the cheaper ones are mostly concentrated in the new city. There is a game restaurant called Snake King Powder in Green Street, Central, which is an old-fashioned restaurant. It is famous for soaking chicken in snake juice, snake soup and frying snake slices in winter. Treasure seafood painting boat is located in Aberdeen Typhoon Shelter Bay. Its seafood is world-famous. Its appearance and interior decoration are modeled after the ancient palaces in China. I have never been there because it looks expensive. As for foreign food, the Thai food in Jinbao Thai Restaurant in Dao Lang, Kowloon City is good. There is a French restaurant, Onion Bistro, under No.3 Hua Yao Street in Causeway Bay, which is not very imposing, but the dishes are very detailed. You can go to mistral Haifeng Restaurant for Italian food. I only have one phone number here, 27215161-2726. I do not know the address. They say that the fried duck liver pasta and foreign cheese here are very good with grilled miscellaneous vegetables, the spring menu is very valuable, and the dessert petitsfours is delicious with coffee. Thai food is added, but I don't like it very much. I feel that many Japanese dishes in China are more delicious and cheaper than this. There are many snacks in Mong Kok, and all kinds of snacks in Women's Street, such as spiced beef skewers and fish balls, are delicious and cheap. There is a sweet shop called Tang Chao in Guangdong Road, Tsim Sha Tsui. It is so famous that stars like to patronize it. That's it. I don't remember anything else. I hope it helps you.
