Into its 24th year, River Hongbao 2010 ushers in the Year of the Tiger with a big bang. This is the second time River Hongbao is held at The Float @ Marina Bay (previously known as Marina Bay Floating Platform). The festivities will last throughout for 9 days from 12th to 20th February 2010 with the closing on the 7th day of the Chinese New Year.
Enter the tiger...
The theme of River Hongbao 2010 is 推“成”促“新”迎虎年 (Welcoming the Year of the Tiger - A collaboration with Chengdu). This is the first time River Hongbao is supported by a Government to Government level collaboration through Singapore-Sichuan Trade and Investment Committee with the collaboration with Chengdu City, China.
Prosperity from the God of Wealth...

The venue comes alive at night with beautifully-crafted lanterns from Chengdu against the magnificent backdrop of the Marina Bayfront. Some of the lanterns to look forward to are the traditionally-popular God of Fortune and the animals from the Chinese Zodiac. There are also a wide variety of stage performances from Chengdu, Taiwan and Singapore, and cultural activities on-site. These include Chinese riddle-guessing, calligraphy and papercraft.
