Chinese New Year Decors

The Lunar New Year falls on the 1st of February this year. We will be welcoming the Year of the Tiger!

Like all Chinatown over the world, Singapore’s Chinatown is busiest at this time of the year. People flock to Chinatown to shop for dried goods, cookies, and Chinese New Year decors. In the evening, people will check out the night market, have a look at the festive lights and decors, and to soak in the festive atmosphere.

The lights will have a theme base on the year of the Zodiac animals. The coming year will be the Year of the Tiger. Hence, all lights will showcase the tiger.

I went to have a look at the night market in Chinatown, and the lights too. The scene this year was much livelier than last year’s, as we were then at the peak of the pandemic. However, it was still a far cry from the years before the pandemic, when the crowd was packed shoulders to shoulders.

Here are some photos of the decors and lights that adorned the streets in Chinatown.

This was early evening and the lights were just coming on.

There was a display of various tigers at the Chinatown square. I didn’t go up close to see what it was all about.
This was the back of the Buddha Tooth Temple.
