Orchard Road is one of Singapore's most prominent streets and over the years, it has established itself as one of the world's most renowned shopping streets. Apart from shopping and dining, one of the things that locals and international visitors look out for is the annual Christmas light up along the famous shopping belt. This year, the light-up spans over 2.88km from Tanglin all the way to Dhoby Ghaut and visitors will be able to enjoy the lights until 02 January 2017. If you are looking for a weekend staycation spot this December, the Mandarin Orchard is located in the middle of it all - it is close enough to soak in all the Christmas festivities and yet quiet enough for some alone time with the people you love the most.
