What to do during Chinese New Year?
The origin of Chinese New Year can be traced back thousands of years. But every year, the celebrations are simple. It is always about family and good food (apart from all the festive fun & Red Packets!).

People in most parts of the world usually associate the CNY event with Chinatown. There is no difference in Singapore where Chinatown is still the traditional place to go and centre of attraction for Chinese New Year. You can easily immerse in the entire Chinese cultural experience and the festive hustle and bustle simply by walking the streets of Chinatown. A must-do is to shop at the Festive Bazaar Street which will be crowded with many visitors especially during the CNY eve with slashed prices of CNY goodies & food items.

In a city where East meets West and modernity meets tradition, it is an experience that bridges the past and the present. Be awed by the beautiful fireworks, crafted lanterns and even performance by local and international groups.

Want to do something different and see several cultural all at one time? The grand finale for the Spring Festival or the CNY is the Chingay Parade in Singapore. In celebration of the majestic dragon year, this year’s special event in the Chingay parade is the spectacular 88m-long twin Flying Dragons, rising majestically to a height of 40m above ground. Along with a grand carnival like street parade, it will be a great closing for a fruitful year.
