Singaporeans love gathering with friends and family to eat their way through seemingly countless dishes, and as that’s at the heart of Chinese New Year, you can bet that it’s celebrated in a big way.

Traditional lanterns light up Chinatown in the evenings while River Hongbao at Gardens by the Bay is host to countless stage shows, displays ranging from themed flower shows to digital artworks, and serves as a reminder of the country’s ever-changing face.
