Photostory - VivoCity: Like a Shopping Paradise

S-R 27 June 2008 Tourist Spot, Travel photo's 285 views One Comment  Print This Post

Located at the south with the Harbourfront MRT Station as its doorsteps, VivoCity, being widely known as the largest shopping mall ever, is one of the few fast growing “attractions” in Singapore; it’s an alternate destination to spend your time apart from Orchard, also known as Central to many.

With its massive floor plan and wide variety of stores (ranging from children’s toys, to clothes, to sports, and gifts), it won’t be a surprise that a whole day isn’t enough to walk through every corner without feeling a need to sit or take a break.

What keeps people wanting to visit every weekend? It is probably due to its state-of-the-art design, be it exterior or interior. Unlike all the typical shopping malls you have seen in town, VivoCity is one of a kind. Conceptually designed by internationally acclaimed Japanese architect Toyo Ito, it is unique in every way. The design brings out the modern style of art and gives people a sense of liveliness. Its vibrant mix of colors not only attracts kids, but also teens and adults in general.

Another probable reason for its uniqueness is that, unlike other shopping malls in town, VivoCity not only has a wide variety of stores catering to the public of all ages, it also contains many great facilities that one could barely imagine:

- VivoMart, a brand new concept Hypermart
- Rooftop water feature in Sky Park
- A dining experience that engages all your senses
- Rooftop amphitheatre
- Open-air playground for children to hang around
- Well-designated event spaces

Apart from all these main features, there is also a wide area of empty space for teens and families to just hang out. Not only is VivoCity located at the South, it’s also situated near the sea. From the open spaces, one can spot Sentosa, another tourist attraction.

Every time I meet up with friends, we won’t fail to hang out at the open spaces. It’s a great way for class-bonding (a gathering session just to have fun or joke around among fellow classmates and get to know each other better) and to relax. Of course, one cannot resist the sight of the wide variety of restaurants and food courts here as well.
