#Chinatown Lunar New Year light-up
“Come on a weekday evening to enjoy the lights without the heaviest festival crowds.”
About this idea
In the weeks before Lunar New Year, Chinatown's main streets erupt in colour — thousands of lanterns, a towering zodiac centrepiece and nightly crowds hunting for pineapple tarts, bak kwa and blooms. The light-up glows brightest after dusk.
