Exploring Singapore

1. Take a stroll down Orchard Road,

the shopping heart of Singapore.

This part of the tour is NEW!

Circa 2002

 

We are still on the right of Orchard Road and have reached the next junction - Orchard and Buyong Roads. Both roads on left and right of junction are part of Buyong Road. 

Look to right of junction. That's Cockpit Hotel behind.

Take a look at the left of the junction. The road on the left is also Buyong Road and it takes the traffic to the CTE Expressway. The building on the left is the end of Meridian shopping centre.

Now, turn back and look ahead of us.

What you see ahead is the last stretch of Orchard Road. There will be more people around here as we have the Plaza Singapura shopping centre, a popular spot, ahead.
If you look to the right of the road, you can see the entire Cockpit Hotel.

(This landmark is no longer around. It was demolished in 2003) 

As we stroll farther down the road, we will soon see the Istana - the official residence of the President of Singapore.
Let's take a look across the road to the right.
Now, look left. The Istana's main entrance comes into view. The grounds of the Istana are usually open to the public on public holidays, such as May Day.
Now, turn your head and look right. Across the road is a tower. It is located in an open garden.
