Exploring Changi City Point [Beside Expo MRT Station] - Another New Shopping Centre to Hit Singapore

Singapore has a small land mass but new shopping centres keep sprouting out! From my understanding, the government aims to have a commercial centre right outside every single train station.

On the surface, it is a fabulous plan although it has become apparent that most of the shopping centres feature the same retail shops and lack the creative diversity enjoyed by shoppers.

Changi City Point, a new entrant set in the Changi Business Park, is thankfully able to differentiate itself slightly from its competitors.

The landscaped garden, displaying a pair of iconic metal swans, has already created interests amongst photographers. Such effort to beautify the surroundings was almost unheard of in the past for shopping malls outside touristy districts like Orchard road or Bugis street.

That's not all. Mini gardens complete with plants and fountains are contained WITHIN the complex, allowing shoppers to take a breather (not smoking though) in a non-airconditioned setting.

Here's another one; such pockets of peaceful sanctuary are extremely soothing to the eyes and brain as i walk in the mall. And access is not restricted like many places!

Shopping wise, the three levels of shops (including the basement) might seem really limited. Having said that, Changi City Point is far much bigger (and better) than Greenwich Village along Yio Chu Kang road.

Here's another key attraction to this mall; Singapore's first Nike factory outlet!

And that's not the only factory outlet in Changi Point; you can find other factory outlets from popular, reputable brands like Crocs, Adidas, Coldwear, Esprit, G2000, Lacoste, Timberland, Samsonite and Sketchers!
