点评:When we first started coming to Singapore twenty years ago, there were trees and an entrance to MRT on this corner. Then, they started building the ION Orchard. Wish they never did... On my previous visit, 13 years ago, there was a short underpass between the Wheelock Place and ION Orchard that was the only way to cross the street, or you had to walk into the Patterson Rd. to cross over. Now, in 2025, the Crossing between Wheelock and ION Orchard or over to Tang Plaza has become a real nightmare. It feels like an endless maze full of shops. Once we had taken 7000 steps trying to cross over. The government of Singapore keeps building shopping centers but repelling more and more tourists. It was a beatiful country to have a Stopever for a few days but with too many Shopping Centres and high prices, the country loosing its charm. Unfortunately, I will not recommend anyone to visit Singapore...
