What You Can Expect

Celebrate Chinese New Year in style! From February 1 to 14, the HiPPO Chinese New Year Light-Up Tour will depart nightly from the BIG BUS & DUCK Tourist Hub at Suntec City.

Hop on to the fun Big Bus open-top double-decker bus and cruise past iconic landmarks like the Esplanade, Marina Bay, Clifford Pier and Lau Pa Sat, before heading down to Chinatown for the light up. Take a breezy drive down South Bridge Road and Eu Tong Sen Street and capture the beauty of dazzling handmade lanterns and sculptures down South Bridge Road.

What's more, you can choose to end the tour at Chinatown and go for a spot of shopping at the Chinatown street bazaar. Expect to see traditional festive goodies, spring flowers, and ‘deng long’ (traditional paper lanterns). If shopping isn't your thing, you can stay on board and enjoy a breezy drive through past the National Gallery back to Suntec City but not before you take 3 auspicious loops around the Fountain of Wealth for good luck.
