This post will mainly focus on the Chinese New Year River Show exhibition and festival.
I made a trip back to the YOG Park and DNA bridge on one random Sunday, to take more pictures of course - and happened to notice the floats and decorations behind some barriers. The Chinese New Year River Show is actually a major event that happens every year, during the Chinese New Year period. And roads are cordoned off specially for this.
The gates weren't opened yet, so we could only take pictures from the outside.
Rabbit-themed float in gold. The words are 捞, 兔, 眉 and 气.
Another rabbit decoration on top of the tent.
Lots and lots of colourful lanterns were also hung around the area. There were also some cherry blossoms made of fabric.
And of course, stallholders busy preparing the food and products for the exhibition, which will open at 12pm.
Hung around the DNA bridge area for a while before the gates to the exhibition opened...
And on the DNA bridge, they had rabbit decorations, which were supposed to be lit at night. Since I went in the day, they didn't stand out as much, so I ended up taking the silhouette of the decorations.
And finally, at 12pm, the gates to the festival opened and we could enter the area.
More pictures of the decorations in the area.
And of course, the 12-zodiac animals were featured. Mouse, cow, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. :)
People were also posing with their zodiacs...including some really interesting ones...like the dude with the sunglasses...
Not too far away, there was a stamp collection exhibition. Bought a stamp collectors' book as well...
And some other stuff like a miniature of the biggest temple in Singapore...
Chinese New Year ornaments and decorations on sale in front of one of the stalls.
The stretch of stalls along the side of the carnival.
And below the sheltered area, there were some amusement stalls for children.
Well I had to leave shortly after that, and when I was walking out of the area, I saw this halo in the sky. :)
Right I guess that's about it for now! I think I'll post pictures from the flower shows soon!
