While there are world-famous streets like the Champs-Élysées, Fifth Avenue, and Ginza, Singapore is also home to Orchard Road, a street that attracts tourists from all over the world. It's said that the name comes from the orchards, as the area originally grew nutmeg, pepper, and fruit during the British colonial period. Orchard Road is approximately 2.2 km long and is lined with international brand stores, including Japanese chains like Takashimaya, Isetan, and Uniqlo. There are also numerous shopping malls, making it one of Southeast Asia's most bustling shopping districts. Orchard Road offers a variety of seasonal decorations, with the Christmas illuminations being particularly worth seeing. The Christmas illuminations began in 1984, and Hitachi Asia has been a main sponsor since 1991. Each year, the illuminations have a different theme. During this time, the already vibrant Orchard Road becomes even more colorful with the addition of countless lights and monuments, attracting not only local Singaporeans but also many tourists to the street to enjoy taking photos.
