River Hongbao Singapore 2012 Part 1

The River Hongbao Singapore 2012 is held on the floating platform at Marina Bay at the mount of the Singapore River. It features over handcrafted lanterns in the shape of the animals of the chinese zodiac, a fun fair and food. It is a Lunar New Year Extravaganza for the general public.

This year, the River Hongbao Singapore 2012 is held between January 21st and 29th 2012 between 12pm to 11:30pm. In the evening, there were performances and the lanterns would light up in its true glory. However, I was only there for the afternoon between 1:30 to 4pm as I did not have the time to stay up for the evening.

The magical experience begins
