The river Hangbao is a event which happened on 9-14 February 2016. It happened on the Float, Singapore as a part of the Chinese New Year celebrations. I had gone mainly for the fireworks but I also eeneded up trying some of the food and looking at the floats.
When you enter the very first thing you will see will be the money god. The Float is huge and quite well done. Once in a while the float will spue out some golden confetti type of paper.
Next to this is the Monkey god. This display is so big that it takes up an entire stand. This display is the largest there in terms of area. The way they have arranged it is quite nice.
On the main floating platform there are various small floats on display .There was also a stage with various performances. I didn't pay attention to any performance but I did realise that everyday the performance was different. Here are some of the smaller displace up on show.
I did visit the food street. If you are going there I recommend trying the Indonesian stall. The taste of the food was good and the people were very friendly. Also try the squid on a stick stall. You can get an entire squid on a stick or squid popcorn. In the food street you will find many icecream and drink stalls. Below are a few images and videos of the stalls
The firework started at 9:00 and only lasted about 2-3mins. Below is a video of it and a few images
I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the river hangbao as the staff were very enthusiastic and engaged people nicely. Of course I have only gone over a brief summary of the events that are happening in the river hangbao. I highly recommend visiting at least once.
