During the Chinese New Year, a netizen sent the cost of his family's trip to Singapore to his own meager amount, which caused a lot of heated discussions. According to him, they spent a total of 78,000 yuan in a group of 4 people, 5 days and 4 nights, and each person was 18,000 yuan. This amount has surprised many people, some people think it is too luxurious, some people think it is too luxurious, and some people think that some of the gains outweigh the losses. Where do they spend the money? Is such a trip really worth it?
They bought a return ticket for China Southern Airlines, about 2,000 yuan per person, 300 yuan for a visa, and a total cost of 9,200. For Chinese, Singapore, as a popular country, has relatively high fares due to the tight domestic flights. In addition, China Southern Airlines has more frequent and better flights, providing you with a more comfortable journey. So, in our opinion, this cost is quite reasonable.
They stayed in a five-star hotel in Singapore, which cost around 2,000 and four nights around 8,000. Since hostels in Singapore are generally not too expensive, hostels in Singapore charge a lot and have a better level and better service. The reason why they choose this kind of place is that on the one hand, they want to live in a more upscale place, and on the other hand, it is also for convenience, after all, it is very close to the subway and tourist attractions. Of course, if you want to save money, you can also find a more affordable hotel, such as a star, which charges about 500-1000 yuan, which can also solve the basic living needs. Therefore, we feel that the cost of this piece is on the high side, but it is also reasonable.
The five-day itinerary will cost 12,000 yuan for a meal ranging from 100 to 500 yuan for special snacks, seafood, Western food, and Japanese cuisine from all over Singapore. Singapore's housing prices are okay, after all, Singapore's consumption is not low, they choose famous and characteristic restaurants, such as Jumbo Seafood, Chinatown, Marina Bay Sands, etc., the quality and taste of the food here are very good, more suitable for Chinese. Of course, if you want to save money, you can also go to those cheap restaurants or stalls for around 10-50 yuan, and you can also eat special snacks from all over Singapore, such as bak kut teh, curry fish head, Hainanese chicken rice and so on. Therefore, we feel that this part of the consumption is more meaningful and one of the great pleasures of travel.
They visited many famous tourist destinations in Singapore, such as Universal Studios, Aquarium, Esplanade Park, Merlion Park, and many more, ranging from 100-300 per ticket, costing a total of 16,000. This is already quite expensive for Singapore, where most of the tourist attractions are commercial in nature, and the ticket prices are also very high. Tourists come here because they want to experience the modernity and diversity of Singapore, and on the other hand, they want to satisfy the curiosity and playfulness of children. But if you want to save money, you can visit the Singapore River, Botanic Gardens, the National Museum, Chinatown and other tourist attractions to learn about Singapore's history and people, as well as enjoy many beautiful scenery and buildings. Therefore, we feel that the cost is high, but it is within our reach. Most of the transportation costs in Singapore are by subway or bus, about 200 yuan per person, which is relatively low compared to Singapore, after all, the public transportation here is very convenient, and it is very convenient to go to any location. Therefore, we feel that this dollar is more cost-effective and convenient for travel.
5 people spent 78,000 yuan in 5 days in Singapore, and the average consumption per person was 18,000 yuan. This may seem high, but it is not entirely unreasonable. They spend most of their money on accommodation, meals and airfare, which is not only a big part of the tour, but also a tourist pleasure. As for whether it is worth it or not, it is up to them to experience and judge it themselves. This kind of tour can be satisfying for some people and can also enjoy luxury indulgences. For those who appreciate simplicity and frugality, this kind of tourism is wasteful and unwise. But in any case, travel is all about having fun, and it doesn't matter if you can achieve your goals. We can't measure everyone's travel patterns and consumption by a single standard, but we need to respect everyone's personal preferences and choices. The value and significance of tourism can not be measured only by a value, but with a state of mind to experience the happiness and benefits of a trip.
