SINGAPUR

Singapore is an island and city-state very densely populated (4,200 people per square kilometer) in which the Chinese, Indonesian and Indian cultures coexist and in which the influence of the Middle East is also felt. Perhaps this mixture of different origins is what makes the offer of celebrations and rites of this country so attractive for the traveler.

For seven full weeks, the mostly ethnic Chinese community in Singapore organizes its biggest party of the year, without exception. The Chinese New Year represents a time for family unity, prayers for prosperity and retirement from restaurants, shopping and parties, focused primarily on the ethnic enclave of Chinatown

The festival usually takes place at the en of January or at the beginning of February.

During the celebration of the Chinese New Year, Singapore is transformed into an authentic fairy tale. The China Town district - the epicenter of the festival - is decorated with unbeatable decorations, ornaments and Chinese lanterns. In the city the markets are organized where different souvenirs are sold and you can taste the dishes of the gastronomy of China.

In addition, during the party, Singapore becomes the venue for several festivals, shows and shows. Among the most notable are the Chingay parade, the largest in Singapore, which consists of popular dances and boat races.
