大家好，我是新加坡旅游局大中华区首席代表兼执行署长潘政志。很荣幸能够在此向中国的朋友推介我的家乡——新加坡。
新加坡地处热带，植被丰富，四季如夏。摩登的城市风情、葱郁的自然景观和多元的文化共铸了新加坡一道道迷人的风景线。为了打造一个良好经济环境与美好自然生态兼具的新型城市，新加坡建国总理李光耀早期定下了“花园城市”的愿景。目前，新加坡土地的植被覆盖率已高达56%，是世界上绿化率最高的城市之一。
如今，“花园城市”的定义，不再局限于绿树葱葱，更体现于当地人健康的生活态度、城市与自然的和谐相处以及可持续性的发展理念。新加坡这个“大自然里的城市”，正以其独特的城市自然生态，唤起人们对自然与健康的全新向往。对寻求在城市生活中更好地感受大自然的旅行者来说，是开启健康之旅的不二选择。
堪称狮城最美园林的新加坡滨海湾花园，坐拥三大冷室：花穹、奇幻花园和云雾林。其中的建筑除了现代设计以外，还采用了高效节能科技，处处彰显可持续性发展的理念。
新加坡的南部山脊步道，是徒步郊游爱好者的圣地。其中连接花柏山公园的亨德森波浪桥，以其波浪型桥身而闻名。穿梭其中，自然生态和城市风光即刻尽收眼底。
2022年6月，首届新加坡健康养生节与公众见面。超130项乐活项目以及大型康乐主题活动首次亮相。无论是在滨海湾金沙的空中花园做瑜伽，还是绕着鱼尾狮公园慢跑，亦或是在圣淘沙岛疗愈洗礼，您都能尽情感受这场轻盈惬意的乐活派对！
而今天，我想与大家分享，新加坡所承载的多元文化与不可胜数的美食佳肴。
“娘惹文化”是新加坡多元民族共同融合发展历程中的一颗璀璨明珠，它是早期定居在新加坡一带的土生华人，在充分吸取了东南亚和欧洲多元文化元素后，在时代的变迁中，将东西方文化的精髓融合，变成新加坡独特的文化。位于新加坡东部的如切和加东是著名的土生华人街区之一。该街区最具标志性的风景线是坤成路上色彩斑斓的娘惹店屋。在这里，游客不仅可以探访新加坡最原汁原味的娘惹文化，还能打卡特色服饰礼品店、餐馆以及博物馆。
不仅如此，新加坡的多元文化更体现在不同种族、宗教、文化在这片热忱之土上的和谐共生。拥有悠久历史的小印度将传统和新兴艺术充分结合，形成了独树一帜的社区空间。
新加坡的美食也是我们国家多元文化的缩影。从高端米其林星级餐厅到地道街头小贩美食，不可胜数的佳肴汇粹着东西方的各色美食文化。蕴含“美食”、“社交”、“人文”三大基因的小贩文化，更是于2020年被联合国教科文组织正式列入“世界非物质文化遗产名录”。作为新加坡的“国民食堂”，小贩中心不仅汇聚了例如沙爹、辣椒螃蟹、叻沙，椰浆饭等众多地道美味，更诞生了诸如海南星洲牛肉粉、大华肉脞面等摘星米其林、荣获必比登名单推介的明星小贩。洋溢着浓厚生活气息的小贩中心，如同编织着邻里草根文化风貌的美食天堂，不仅是普通新加坡人生活的一部分，更是新加坡文商旅的一张响亮名片。
新加坡这片热忱的土壤滋养了一代代饱含创意的热忱之士。他们将梦想付诸实践，用一代又一代人的努力，将新加坡完美呈现在世界的眼前，构筑起狮城的新篇章，不断创造着无限可能。
最后，期待在不久的将来可以与大家在新加坡相聚。让我们一同亲身感知新加坡的多元文化与美食风情，”即刻随心所往，心想狮城“。
Hello, I am Andrew Phua, Chief Representative and Executive Director for Greater China at the Singapore Tourism Board. It is my honor to be here to introduce my hometown, Singapore, to all of you in China.
Singapore is a country with rich vegetation and a tropical climate all year round. The diverse landscapes of Singapore cover stunning skylines, remarkable natural scenery, and a strong showcase of cultural diversity. The founding Prime Minister of Singapore, Mr. Lee Kuan Yew, introduced the "garden city" vision, aiming to transform Singapore into a modern city with a strong economic environment and abundant lush greenery. Currently, vegetation covers up to 56% of Singapore’s total land area, making Singapore one of the greenest cities in the world.
Today, the definition of "garden city" is no longer limited to ample greenery, but also includes local residents’ attitudes towards healthy living, the harmonious coexistence between city and nature, and the concept of sustainable development. Singapore, as a “City in Nature”, invites residents to pursue their desires for nature and health through its unique urban ecology. For travelers seeking a deeper immersion with nature within city living, it is the perfect destination to start a healthy journey.
Gardens by the Bay, said to be one of the most beautiful gardens in Singapore, is home to three major cooled conservatories: Flower Dome, Floral Fantasy, and Cloud Forest. In addition to the ultra-modern design of the buildings, it also adopts energy-efficient technologies, demonstrating the concept of sustainability in all aspects.
Meanwhile, Singapore’s Southern Ridges is an ideal place for hiking enthusiasts. Among them, Henderson Waves Bridge, which connects Mount Faber Park, is famous for its wave-shaped structure. Walking on the bridge, you can enjoy the sweeping natural and urban views.
The inaugural Wellness Festival Singapore was held in June 2022, featuring over 130 unique programs and wellness-themed events. Whether it is yoga in the SkyPark at Marina Bay Sands, a jog around Merlion Park, or a healing spa treatment at Sentosa Island, you can enjoy a wide range of wellness and lifestyle activities!
Today, I would like to share more about Singapore’s culturally diverse and wide-ranging cuisines.
The Peranakan culture is one of the jewels of Singapore's multi-ethnic society. It is the result of the early settlement of indigenous Chinese in Singapore, who also adopted elements of the diverse cultures of Southeast Asia and Europe, fusing the essence of Eastern and Western cultures to become a unique culture of Singapore. One of the famous neighborhoods in Singapore with strong Peranakan influence is Joo Chiat/ Katong, located in the eastern part of Singapore. One of the most iconic sights in this neighborhood is the rows of colorful Peranakan shophouses on Koon Seng Road. Here in this neighborhood, visitors can not only learn about the history of Singapore's Peranakan culture, but also visit a wide range of shops, restaurants, and museums.
What’s more, Singapore's multiculturalism is also reflected in the harmonious coexistence of different races, religions, and cultures in many areas. Little India, with a rich history, is one such place that combines traditions with modern developments such as emerging art to form a unique community.
Singapore's cuisines are also a culmination and reflection of our country's cultural diversity. From high-end Michelin-starred restaurants to authentic street hawker food, Singapore always has countless delicacies to offer which embody the culinary cultures of the East and the West. Singapore’s hawker culture which brings together "food", "community" and "culture", was officially inscribed on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2020. As Singapore's "national eatery", the hawker centre is home to a wide range of local delicacies such as Satay, Chilli Crab, Laksa, and Nasi Lemak, as well as Michelin-starred and Bib Gourmand hawkers such as Hai Nan Xing Zhou Beef Noodle and Tai Wah Pork Noodle. A hawker center brimming with activity is not only a food paradise which reflects the grassroots culture of the neighborhood, but also brings together culture, business, and tourism.
Singapore has actively nurtured generations of creative and passionate people who have put their dreams into practice here. Building on the efforts of past generations, Singapore can continue to write a new chapter of development and look ahead to create endless new possibilities.
Finally, I sincerely invite you to “Reimagine Travel in Singapore” to experience Singapore's cultural diversity and delicious cuisines in person, and I look forward to seeing you all in Singapore in the near future.
