Things to do in Chinatown at night

Chinatown is a place many local Singaporeans go to during the CNY period. Without the CNY bazaar this year, there are still things to do in Chinatown at night.

CNY lights

One of the yearly highlights is the CNY lights. The 880 metres stretch along Eu Tong Sen Street and New Bridge Road is lit up with 888 lanterns. The 10 metre tall oxen beside a waterwheel in front of Yue Hwa Chinese Products cannot be missed. Oxen line up the road wth auspicious items like pineapples and blossom trees. These lights will be here from now till 12 Mar 2021.

CNY street shopping

Though the yearly CNY bazaar is not allowed this year, there are still many CNY items sold at the permanent stalls along the streets of Chinatown. Ang pows, CNY decorations and melon seeds are among the items you can find. The stall staff no longer use loudspeakers to shout for business. Those who enjoy a slightly more peaceful CNY shopping experience should still make their way here to busk in the festive mood.

24 hours supermarkets selling China products

Beside Chinatown Complex, there is a supermarket selling China products that is crowded even when I arrived at 10pm. There is a wide variety of products here, including instant milk tea and mala cup noodles. There is even a frozen food section here. This gives us more choices, besides the offerings at local supermarkets.
