140 Metre Dragon Lantern in Singapore

#freehotelstay River Hongbao Festival is an annual event celebrated in Singapore, usually taking place during Chinese New Year Festives. "Hongbao" translates to "red packet" in English, referring to the traditional red envelopes containing money that are often exchanged during the Chinese New Year, is a symbol of good luck and prosperity. Started in 1987, River Hongbao 2024 was hosted in Garden By The Bay, featuring a 140 metre dragon lantern with a giant the god of fortune, chai sen ya. Visitors can enjoy a variety of cultural performances, traditional Chinese arts and crafts, lantern displays, and large-scale light installations. This festival is also a showcase mix of traditional and contemporary entertainment, including dance performances, music shows, and the rich cultural heritage of Singapore's Chinese community and provides a joyful and immersive experience for locals and tourists alike, and it is free. I hope you had a great celebration during the Chinese New Year Festive in Singapore.
