many Chinese tourists,this small island in southeast Asia is a wonderful place to take a holiday.On the one hand,more than three quarters of the population are Chinese,so you can simply speak Putonghua a lot of the time.On the other hand,Singapore is an English-speaking country,so its also a good place to practice your English!Have you ever tried Chinese food outside of China?Maybe you fear that you wont be able to find anything to eat in a foreign country.In Singapore,however,youll find a lot of food from China;you wont have any problem finding rice,noodles,or dumplings.However,if youre feeling brave,Singapore is an excellent place to try new food.Whether you like Indian food,western food or Japanese food,youll find it all in Singapore.Most large cities have zoos,but have you ever been to a zoo at night?Singapore has a night zoo called the“Night Safari”.It might seem strange to go to a zoo when its dark.But if youve ever been to a zoo during the daytime,you might understand why this zoo is so special.A lot of animals only wake up at night,so this is the best time to watch them.If you go to see lions,tigers or foxes during the daytime,theyll probably be asleep!At the Night Safari,you can watch these animals in a more natural environment than a normal zoo.One great thing about Singapore is that the temperature is almost the same all the year round.This is because the island is so close to the equator.So you can choose to go whenever you like-spring,summer,autumn,or winter!And,of course,its not too far from China!language food
