Chinese New Year 2015 - River Hong Bao at Marina
Without fail, every year, we sure to visit the River Hong Bao at Marina Bay FLoating Platform.
My favourite, of course must be the huge God of Fortune.
This year being Singapore 50th Anniversary, the theme is relive the past. There's a giant mural wall that illustrates Singapore skyline.
There's two huge peacocks decorating the seating areana. Really beautiful.
A familar person at one corner of the mural, that was Sir Stamford Raffles, Singapore's founder.
And of course the very popular and familar Merlion and the banner for SG 50 (Singapore jubilee year).
Difficult to take nice photos without so many heads blocking the lanterns, hahaha. It sure was crowded.
