Last few day to CNY!!! Where to go??? Firework at River Ang Bao?

It's just few day before Chinese New Year (The Year of Dragon) and during this festive season I believed all the Chinese people are busy buying Chinese New Year's attire, goodies to treat their relatives/friends, meet up with friends/relatives for makan gathering. It is sure a joyous occasion for all Chinese.

If you are still at home, then faster get out of house and experience the Chinese New Year now!!! Here some suggestion of places to feel Chinese New Year! You can go either Chinatown or the River Angbao 2012!!!

River Ang Bao 2012 (21-29 Jan 2012)

Lighting up the modern cityscape of Marina Bay in a customary celebration of Chinese New Year. In a city where East meets West and modernity meets tradition, it’s an experience that bridges the past and the present.

From The Float at Marina Bay, the countdown to Chinese New Year lights up the night with a spectacular new year’s eve fireworks display. A symbolic gesture to drive away bad luck, the fireworks begin at 12.30am (Check the timing here for different day), so you’ll have plenty of time to find a perfect viewing spot on the floating platform.

River Hongbao 2012 features an awe-inspiring display of over 70 giant lanterns, including lights in the form of the auspicious dragon, handcrafted by lantern masters from Chengdu. For the first time ever, River Hongbao 2012 features a collaboration with performers from Guanxi. Catch the troupe during their 5-day signature show Liu San Jie(刘三姐), a legend of the Zhuang people. You’re also invited to immerse yourself in the Guangxi folk dance, take part in a bamboo dance, lantern riddles, and more. With chefs from Guangxi cooking up all kinds of authentic delicacies, artists demonstrating traditional art and handicraft, you’ll be able to immerse yourself in age-old traditions from China, right in the heart of a cosmopolitan melting pot.
