2024年4月22日,星期一,新加坡越南之旅第三天
Monday, April 22, 2024, the third day of the Singapore-Vietnam trip
观赏日出!今天清晨6点,我俩决定早起,步行前往鱼尾狮公园欣赏日出。公园内人迹罕至,一片宁静。在鱼尾狮还未开始喷水时,水面宁静如镜,我们捕捉到了极美的倒影画面。
Watching the sunrise! At 6 a.m. this morning, we decided to get up early and walk to Merlion Park to enjoy the sunrise. The park was sparsely populated and tranquil.
Before the Merlion started spouting water, the water surface was as still as a mirror, and we captured many extremely beautiful reflections.
看完日出,上午去了中国城,看到了一些保存的比较好的传统店屋和历史建筑,这些建筑有明显的巴洛克和维多利亚风格的建筑元素。也看到了很多很有中国味道的壁画,这些壁画不仅为中国城的街道增添了色彩,也为游客提供了了解新加坡多元文化和历史的窗口。在中国城的街头,你会发现这些壁画不断地诉说着新加坡的故事,成为一种独特的视觉和文化体验。
After watching the sunrise, we went to Chinatown in the morning and saw some well-preserved traditional shophouses and historical buildings. These buildings have distinctive Baroque and Victorian architectural elements. We also saw many murals with a strong Chinese flavor. These murals not only add color to the streets of Chinatown but also provide a window for tourists to understand Singapore’s multicultural society and history. On the streets of Chinatown, you will find that these murals continuously tell the story of Singapore, becoming a unique visual and cultural experience.
这个寺院里竟然有空调!- To our surprise, this temple even had air conditioning!
下午3点多,我们再次乘坐Grab前往空中花园观景台,不过不幸的是,由于闪电探测器预测到了雷电天气,观景台再次关闭。工作人员看到我们昨天的票后,建议我们在5点后再来尝试。晚上5点多,我们聪明地先打电话确认观景台是否开放,之后第三次前往,终于成功登上了观景台,欣赏到了壮观的景色。虽然最终门票算是免费的,但来回三次的Grab车费加起来几乎等于了门票的价格。尽管如此,从观景台上看到的美景还是非常值得的。
In the afternoon around 3pm, we took a Grab again to the SkyPark Observation Deck, but unfortunately, due to the lightning detection system predicting thunderstorms, the observation deck was closed again! After seeing our tickets from yesterday, the staff suggested we try again after 5 pm. So this time, we smartly called first to confirm if the observation deck was open, and then we went for the third time, finally successfully making it up to the observation deck and taking in the magnificent views. Although the tickets ended up being free, the round-trip Grab fares for the three trips almost equaled the price of the tickets. Despite this, the beautiful scenery from the observation deck was definitely worth it.
三天的新加坡之旅即将结束,明天我俩将前往越南的胡志明市。这几天,主要逗留在新加坡的核心区域,深切体验了这座城市的现代魅力和文化多样性。尽管持续的高温和湿度让人感觉疲惫,加上与马来西亚相比较高的物价,新加坡的美丽与独特依然让这次短暂的旅行充满了回忆。
Our three-day trip to Singapore is coming to an end, and tomorrow we will head to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. During these few days, we mainly stayed in the heart of Singapore, deeply experiencing the modern charm and cultural diversity of this city. Although the constant high temperature and humidity made us feel frustrated and tired, coupled with the higher prices compared to Malaysia, Singapore’s beauty and uniqueness still made this short trip full of memories.
Your sunrise photos are beautiful. I looked up the weather and see getting up early doesn’t get you out of the humid heat.
Those murals are fantastic.
I’m glad you enjoyed Singapore in spite of the oppressive heat!
壁画很好看,我喜欢。
你拍的头几张照片特别美,我也很喜欢!
