Christmas light-up launched at Singapore's Orchard Road

Xinhua, November 15, 2015 Adjust font size:

Singapore's President Tony Tan Keng Yam on Saturday officiated this year's Christmas light-up at Orchard Road, illuminating the city state's shopping and entertainment hub with sparkling lights and color.

Themed on "Christmas on A Great Street", this year's Christmas light-up will be displayed from Saturday to January 3, 2016. Visitors can look forward to celebrating the festive season in an atmosphere of merriment.

With the support from Singapore Tourism Board, Orchard Road Business Association (ORBA) has come up with a truly unique creative design for the Christmas baubles and set pieces. This year's creative concept is produced by local artist Dick Lee and designer Yang De Rong.

Singapore's Minister for Social and Family Development Tan Chuan-Jin also attended the Christmas light-up, which started in 1984. Enditem
