32/52 - River Hongbao

Week 32 of 52
River Hongbao
Singapore

I have been wandering around showing my mom the city the past few days.  We have spent a good bit of time on the different Lunar New Year festivities and sights.  It is a fun time of year here...LNY is similar in importance to Christmas in the west...there are lots of lights and lanterns and colors and music all around the city.

Something that they do every year in Singapore is the River Hongbao which is a festival/carnival down at Marina Bay.

There are performances and is an entire section on the history of the Lunar New Year festivities in Singapore.  I like it mainly for all of the fun lanterns and bright colors...

 

Since this is the year of the dragon they were everywhere...

They also always have the different animals of the zodiac.  If you remember, I am an ox so found my guy and got a picture with him...
