Please briefly introduce the geography, history and customs of Singapore.

Yes, Baidu will have a lot of information at once. I looked it up in the encyclopedia, hoping it would help you.

Singapore is an island country and a city country in Southeast Asia. The country is located at the southern tip of Malay Peninsula, adjacent to the southern mouth of Malacca Strait, facing Indonesia across Singapore Strait in the south, facing Malaysia across Johor Strait in the north, and the two sides of Singapore and Malaysia are connected by long dikes. Singapore is one of the most important financial, service and shipping centers in Asia. Singapore has achieved remarkable results in urban cleaning, so it is also called "garden city".

Singapore is a city country, which originally meant "Lion City". According to Malay historical records, around 1 150, Prince Panna of the late kingdom of Sri Lankan Buddha in Sumatra arrived at the island by boat and saw a wild animal. The local people told him it was a lion, hence the name "Lion City". Singapore is the homonym of the Sanskrit "Lion City", which is often called "Shilai" or "Shilaipo" by overseas Chinese. The local currency is also called "Shilaibi", which comes from the meaning of "Strait" in Malay. Because of its small area, it is also called Xingzhou and Sing Tao.

Four major ethnic groups in Singapore

Chinese nationality

China culture can best be reflected in the ethical concept, which has been preserved in the Chinese community in Singapore. The establishment of ancestral home can maintain the spirit of mutual assistance of the township party. China people should choose the auspicious day when they get married. A fashionable China bride presented a small porcelain teacup to the groom's parents at the wedding. When the in-laws take the cup from the bride, it means that the bride has been accepted by the family.

Malayan

Malay culture is manifested in religious thoughts, and their customs and habits are closely related to religion. Islamic law and the Sudanese system maintain the stability and unity of their lives. Almost the whole village was invited to attend the Malay wedding. When the guests left, they all held a boiled egg in their hands, indicating the meaning of having many children.

Indian race

Indians account for 9% of Singapore's population and are the third largest ethnic group. Indian culture is closely related to their religious thoughts, and literature, art and dance all contain a very strong religious color. Indians live a simple life, but they are very particular about the architecture of temples, and all kinds of carvings are exquisite.

Eurasian nation

European Asians refer to the descendants of Europeans and Asians. Most European Asians in Singapore come from Malacca and India, and most of their European ancestry comes from Portugal, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. Most European Asians are Catholics, and nearly 2% of Singapore's population is European Asians.
