A girl friend and I did a playdate at the River HongBao event, held at the Floating Platform at Marina Bay. I learned the floating platform (which floats on the river) is normally closed to the public, so it’s supposed to be a good opportunity to get yourself there.

The event houses over 70 giant lanterns handcrafted by lantern masters from Chengdu. The event actually has stuff like fireworks, traditional dancing, traditional foods, arts & craft, etc etc… but we only managed to have a quick look at the huge lanterns before the rain started, d’oh! I actually think it’d be better to go back at night, because then everything is lit up.

I’m a bit annoyed we missed the Food Street there. We did see it, but were too full to eat! I read later that  it had”Guangxi local specialties specially prepared by Guangxi chefs like Guilin Rice Noodles ??????, Bamboo Rice ?????and Yu Lin Meatballs ??????.” Arghhh!!!! Would’ve loved to have tucked into all that.

 

 

 

 

And, well, since I don’t really have much else to say about the River Hongbao event.. and cos I have a whole bunch of random photos, I’m going to chuck them all here 🙂
