Singapore Holiday

Singapore is one of the countries that own a world’s famous road, namely the Orchard Road. And Singapore is one of the countries that are considered favorite for its shopping traveling. Here in the Orchard Road is where you can find the best shopping site ever in the world, but most particularly in South East Asia. I also might call it as the shopaholic heaven, as along the road; there are big malls with so many famous fashion brands.

Apparently, Orchard Road is not just famous for its huge shopping centers for travelers, but there are some facts that draw or even take it as a role model for having the same concept in their country. So, without further waiting, here are four interesting facts about the Orchard Road Singapore:

1. Massive underground road

Being such a long time of two ways road, it changed its way into one-way road in 1974. But people still don’t pay lots of attention to the fact that this area has massively underground road infrastructure, including the underground pedestrian that connect the road one mall to another. The brilliant thing about the making of underground road is that it can be one way of flood prevention. When the flood occurs, the underground road becomes the water tunnel.

2. Spots for Many Famous Sites

Along the area of Orchard Road, there lay loads of famous sites and this becoming what great thing of Singapore, which is to specialize its tourism sites into one area. It is starting from the presidential palace at the southernmost of the road, up to Botanic Gardens at the north part. On Scott Roads, there is a Goodwood Park Hotel with its colonial architecture and a monument. In particularly the intersection of Scott Roads and Orchard Road, there is the first high class department store, TANGS.

3. Well Arrange of Malls, Hotels and Transportations

This is actually, what Orchard Road is all about, the integration of malls, hotels, and transportations. It is in fact, more than twenty hotels, and more than twenty malls as well that spread along the area. Besides, the transportations here are arranged and maintained in quite excellent way. There are three big train stations, more than ten bus stops, and taxis.

4. The most happening public rooms

The aims of developing the Orchard Road are apparently not only for the heavenly spots of shopping centers, but for the place of public as well. This area has become the place, where people do meeting others, and hangs out with others. At along 2.4 kilos, the pedestrians, cafes, and malls are always full with people, this fact is what makes the area becoming the longest and the most happening public rooms ever built in Singapore.
