River Hongbao 2025 (春到河畔 2025), a highlight of Chinese New Year (CNY) celebrations in Singapore, is set to return for 10 days from 27 January – 5 February 2025 at Gardens by the Bay (GBTB) to usher in the Year of the Snake.
In keeping with tradition, visitors can take photos with the stunning God of Fortune statue at the The Meadow and marvel at the lunar new year lanterns, lights, and decorations, all themed around this year’s zodiac sign, the Snake.
The celebration also features a diverse range of cultural performances and the “Greetings from Afar: Chinese Remittance Letters” exhibition, curated by the Sun Yat Sen Nanyang Memorial Hall (SYSNMH), which delves into the historical and cultural significance of remittance letters sent by early Chinese migrants in Singapore. Additionally, there will be a bustling food fair and exciting amusement rides, offering a perfect blend of education, fun and entertainment for all ages.
Bring your family after your reunion dinner or visits to relatives this CNY and soak up the festive spirit! Admission is free—no tickets, bookings, or pre-registration are required.
