VivoCity

Vivocity, located at HarbourFront, is Singapore's largest shopping mall. It was opened on 7 December 2006 and it's official opening ceremony was on 1 December 2006. At its largest, it has about 4000 parking lots and there are 5 floors altogether. The shopping mall has the most unique structure of all the other malls in Singapore. Designed by famous Japanese architect, Toyo Ito, Vivocity is the most popular shopping malls of all time, attracting tourists to its special structure and variety of food outlets and retail stores.

On top of the mall, there is the Sky Park, which comprises of many entertainment facilities like the open-air shallow pool, which is a hit with children. Other than this, the park also has a huge amphitheatre. For people who want to shape up their bodies during their free time, you may want to consider the Planet Fitness gym at the Sky Park. After exercising, you may want to have some food before going home. Yes, just go to Food Republic and choose any food you want! Otherwise, if you have a date with your loved one, you can go to the high-class "No Signboard Seafood" restaurant and have a nice day!

The mall has 2 air-con bridges that link to its neighbour, HarbourFront Centre. Near the Golden Village Cinema, there's also another outdoor bridge which links to St James Power Station. These 3 bridges are all located on level 2. If you wanna shop or stay longer, consider going to Tang's for a 'walk'. Who knows, you may be able to find what you want there! If not, just simply go up to the second level and enter the Golden Village Cinema, and pamper yourself with some popcorns and a show. After that, I suggest you go to Vivomart, a large supermarket comprising of Cold Storage, Giant and Naturally MarketPlace. Trust me, you will be stumped.

I've been to Vivocity for 4 to 5 times and I enjoyed my shopping, sometimes window shopping, there. For 2 Chinese New Year seasons, I've been there with my grandfather and my family. Most of the time, we go to Food Republic and the Sky Park. For me, the place in the mall I like most would be the Sky Park because, not only it has an open space, but also overlooks the iconic Sentosa, where our Merlion stays. We have also been to other retail stores like Best Denki and Tang's. Yeah, not just window shopping, but my mother bought an Astone MP3 player at Best Denki. Our favourite? It's Toastbox at Food Republic. After shopping, we'll always go there.

To sum up, Vivocity has the most variety of shops here in Singapore, and the best quality of facilities.

Vivo City is a really good place for the adventurous type. It's really near Sentosa, so if needed, you can buy some drinks, toiletries, etc, at the HUMONGOUS "Giant" outlet there. There's also the iconic National Geographic shop there too. It's very much like a museum, where many people browse around the various artowork, pottery, ornaments, etc. There's also replicas of some pieces which you can buy, although they can get really pricey. Vivo is also a nice place for people to relax. Little seats are dotted around the mall. PageOne is a great place to relax too. You can read a book and sit on the seats/floor there. But, I think Vivo City is way too big. Old people especially cannot seem to navigate in this crowded mall. Poor things!
