NIGHTLIFE DURING FESTIVE SEASON!
WELCOME TO NIGHTLIFE @ ORCHARD ROAD!
HELLO READERS!
This is going to be the 1st issue of our 3 part issue of FESTIVE SEASONS!
We have decided to blog about the upcoming Christmas, Chinese New Year and Deepavali!
I hope you will be attracted to Singapore during these Festive Seasons! :)
And Today, Its About CHRISTMAS and ORCHARD ROAD!
North of the Singapore River and to the west of the Central Business District is a road in Singapore that is the retail and entertainment hub of the city-state. Orchard Road is the main shopping street of Singapore and is regularly frequented by the local population as well as being a major tourist attraction.
Shopping can not only be by day but also possible at night as shopping malls closes at about 9.30 pm daily.
However on Saturdays, Orchard Road takes on a vibrancy when participating outlets extend their shopping hours till 11 pm.
For sheer luxury shopping,visit Ion Orchard,Ngee Ann City/Takashimaya,Tangs and Paragon.
Those on a tight budget and seeking cheaper alternatives would enjoy shopping at Far East Plaza and Forever 21 in Somerset 313.
And not forgetting the gadget lovers, Lucky Plaza offers you a variety of electronic goods at really afforadable prices.
However,do bear in mind that low prices might not guarantee good quality. A safer choice would be at Takashimaya's Best Denki. There is also an
Epi Centre at Somerset 313 and
Wheelock Place as well as an
iStudio at Orchard Central for fans of Apple's products.
Being the island’s foremost retail hub and hotel belt, Orchard Road is equally renowned for its dining scene. From 24-hour fast food takeaways to posh-nosh outlets, modern shopping centres and hotels boast a wide slew of dining options to cater to weary shoppers. These restaurants and food oulets caters both
international and
local flavours,surely to
appertise every taste buds. Sometimes,it can be hard to decide where to dine at!
Not far from Orchard Road is the Newton Food Centre, a legendary food spot for travelers the world over. Most of the best local dishes can be found here. Chili Crab, Stingray, Fried Carrot Cake, Ice Kachang, any singaporean cuisine you name it, they have it! :)
The bars in the major hotels along Orchard Road are a
good bet for a refined drink or even to meet clients. This famous shopping belt also harbours some great clubs. Party-goers are
enjoying the night away in this town~ Truly the Night is still YOUNG!
Orchard Road is for everyone,be it young or old,female or male,tourists or businessmen. All is definitely entitled to a good time. Adding to the vibrancy of the brightly lit Orchard Road by the colours and lights from the shopping malls, strings of lights and Christmas decorations brings in the mood for Christmas and New Year every November and December.
It is relatively convenient to get to Orchard Road. One can take the MRT trains and alight at Somerset or Orchard station.
Great news! To shoppers who loves to patron Orchard Road! There is a
free bus service,The Great Trolley,that operates along Orchard Road. The bus route includes stops at Ion Orchard, Plaza Singapura, The Heeren, and runs from 11am to 10pm daily with a mere 5mins interval. Do note though that the free shuttle bus service down Orchard road is a temporary one,operating just for this festive period, and will end in
Feburary 2011, So next time you see a
black and white tram-like bus, just hop on for a free ride.
In This Christmas season, why not make Orchard Road a shopping place for you to buy all christmas gifts for everyone! The shopping mall cater to your needs! At the same time, enjoy the lightings around Orchard Road. We can say that the lighting at Orchard Road just gets better each year.
