36小時環(huán)游新加坡
36 Hours in Singapore

Singapore’s main island is sometimes?described as?diamond-shaped —?fitting,?perhaps, since the?sparkling city?is known for its?materialistic pursuits. But look past Singapore’s shiny veneer and you’ll find a compression of Chinese, Indian, Malay and other?heritages?reaching back?far beyond the city state’s half-century history as an independent nation. And thanks to the?superb?street food and efficient?public transit,?you don’t have to be?crazy rich?to enjoy this?cinematic city, which is now more accessible than ever with Singapore Airlines’ new nonstop service from Newark.

新加坡的主島有時被形容是個鉆石形——或許這么說很合適，因為這座熠熠生輝的城市以其物質追求而聞名。但是看看新加坡那些閃亮的裝飾，你會發(fā)現它濃縮了中國、印度、馬來和其他遺產，遠遠超出了這個城邦作為獨立國家的半個世紀歷史。由于一流的街頭食品和高效的公共交通，你不必極度富有，就可以享受這個電影般的城市，現在新加坡航空公司提供從紐瓦克出發(fā)的不間斷新航班，前往那里變得前所未有地方便了。
