The River Hongbao is a stunning showcase of China’s rich cultural heritage. Red Pocket, or Hongbao, refers to the New Year’s tradition of giving money to children and single people. People around the country attend River Hongbao, the premier Lunar Chinese New Year festival.

To celebrate the arrival of the Year of the Rabbit, remember to register and join the Fu-er and Shou-er. The River Hongbao 2023 celebration will feature dazzling lantern displays, magnificent stage performances, and many other exciting events. There will be no need to purchase tickets to attend this event.

Chinese New Year Greetings Singaporean Chinese New Year cards from the 1950s through the 1970s are displayed at the “Then and Now” exhibition. These cards, which feature vivid images from Singapore’s past and reflect contemporary social mores and Chinese cultural norms and values, are a testament to the artist’s skill in incorporating various relevant and engaging details.

More than eighteen sets of enchanted lanterns bring the Gardens by the Bay to life, transforming it into a fantastical paradise. The “Dance of Spring” lantern display is the festival’s shining star, so don’t miss it!

The roughly 30-meter-long floating lantern is a spectacular sight within the tranquil waters of Dragonfly Lake. This year’s lanterns include updated designs incorporating contemporary ideas and icons.

From January 20-28, there is much to look forward to. The main stage will be the site of many exciting performances. Tourists are able to see and listen to performances by Chinese cultural troupes, Getai vocalists, and Mediacorp performers.

With River Hongbao’s help, POSB (a local bank in Singapore) will host its first-ever charity drive at Gardens by the Bay. Tourists who take a photo in front of the God of Fortune display and share it on social media using the hashtag #NeighborsDoGood, the bank will give about $5. By the end of the day, POSB hopes to have donated $50,000 to charity to benefit kids from low-income homes.

Chinese New Year wouldn’t be the same without a celebratory snack. This year’s River Hongbao features the return of the popular food stands. Browse the food stands and pick out your favorite bite to eat.
