Apart from breath-taking tourist locations and internationally acclaimed Singapore hotels, this lion city is famous all over the world for endless shopping opportunities also. Shopping during daytime is a common feature of many tourist locations but night shopping in Singapore is an amazing experience.
A feature of Great Singapore Sale
Late night shopping is a feature of Singapore’s retail scene which was basically initiated during the time of Great Singapore Sale. During that time most shop-owners had extended their timings. It had been a resounding success and so the trend still continues.
So much so that late night shopping has now become a weekly affair.
To add more buzz and vibrancy along the famous Orchard Road, participating malls have lined up music, magic and dance performances besides shopper deals and promotional activities. Thus the entire retail and pedestrian experience has been enhanced a great deal. Hit any mall even at midnight and you feel as if the whole city has gathered there! Some late night shopping delights in Singapore are as under:
Orchard Road
The famous Orchard Road is full of malls and markets that keep open till late night and some of them like Paragon and the Centrepoint offer many exciting schemes during nights only. However, Saturdays bring great shopping experience for you accompanied by delicious dining and entertainment.
Chinatown Night Market
Though this market always keeps buzzing, shopping at night is an eye-opening and unique experience here. Also look for decorative souvenirs of feng shui along with exquisite items of silk.
Little India
This place is mostly visited by tourists and local shoppers and thus it is one of the busiest streets of Singapore. Mustafa Centre is the main attraction here which is the only emporium-cum-departmental store of Singapore which keeps open for 24 hours. Since every item of your use is available at the lowest fixed price in this store, people keep dropping in, even at midnight too!
So whenever you plan your trip to Singapore, keep shopping in your list and make sure that you must go for night shopping. Even if you do not shop in millions, you will get a real feel of the city. Main aspect of shopping in Singapore is that it is not limited by hours, so you do not have to be constraint for time. Shopping is a great stress buster for many and shopping at night adds more fun to the whole affair.
