Christmas on a Great Street

This year Orchard Road celebrates 30 years of Christmas lights along the 2.88 stretch of road.
A photographic exhibition outside Shaw House showcases both the Christmas Lights over the years and celebrations on Orchard Rd on Christmas Day when the road is closed to traffic.
This years lights and decorations are multicoloured to represent Singapore's diversity as Singapore prepares to celebrate 50 years of independence next year.
Twelve of the major shopping malls will also be competing for the best dressed shopping mall which is determined by public votes.
The lights were switched on by Singapore's President Tony Tan Keng Yam on the 15th of November and will run to January the 1st.
