Christmas Village at Orchard Road

Christmas is around the corner and has you thought of where to go during the Christmas festivities? If no, then maybe you can check out the Christmas Village along Orchard Road. This is the first Christmas village complete with a festive fare in Singapore. It was launched with pyrotechnics, a light show and a rousing performance from local singer Alex Chia. And to top it off, fireworks crackled and lit up the night sky.

Christmas village will feature a double-decker carousel, as well as participating stores of more than 25 brands, including Starbucks, Toast Box, PAUL and Royal Selangor just to name a few. Three amusement rides, craft activities and a roaming balloon sculptor will add to the fanfare. Even Santa himself will also drop by for the photo takings.
The Christmas village entrance is free, it is located at the Ngee Ann City Civic Plaza and will be opened from Nov 25 to Christmas Day, from 11 am to 10 pm on Sundays to Thursdays and 11 am to 11 pm on Fridays, Saturdays and during the Christmas week.
From 8 pm onwards on Christmas Eve, local bands will perform the Christmas classics ahead of a pyrotechnics show at midnight.

Chinatown Street Market 

Chinatown is a prominent landmark in Singapore where it is also a popular tourist attraction with its rich historical heritage providing a wide range of great sights and a spectrum of awesome delicacies. The Chinatown Street Market is a vibrant community which offers more than 200 food outlets spreading over four streets such as Pagoda Street, Trengganu Street, Sago Street, and Smith Street. It does not only gives you a unique and memorable shopping experience but also a place to learn more about the Chinese culture where a  Chinese heritage museum was established within the market.

Just a small tip for the visitors, the best time to visit Chinatown and the street market is during the Lunar New Year. Chinatown will go into a decorative frenzy of stunning lights and ornamental display. The streets will be lined up with additional stalls touting their wares ranging from foodstuffs, clothes, potteries, plants, titbits, goodies and other household items.

How to go?
You can take the MRT subway train to the Chinatown station on the North East Line (purple line). Once off the train at the Chinatown station, head towards Exit A, which will bring you right in the heart of Chinatown at Pagoda St.
