Orchard Road Map - Singapore Maps
Singapore's Champs-Elysees stretches 2.5 kilometres long and is said
to have the largest concentration of shopping malls worldwide. Originally
a nutmeg and pepper plantation, Orchard Road today is lined with ritzy
malls, swanky eateries and luxury hotels from end to end. The more notable
shopping centres include Ngee Ann City, Tangs Department Store, Wisma
Atria, The Heeren and Centrepoint. Nevertheless, some old portions of
the street have managed to escape the bulldozers, particularly the peranakan
shophouses near Emerald Hill, built at the turn of the 20th century.
Most shops are open till around 9pm.
