As Chinese New Year approaches, Chinatown comes to life with sculptured lanterns and light installations of (what else?) tigers and their cubs.

From now till March 2, the district will be illuminated nightly by intricate lanterns designed by students from the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), with three different sections of lantern displays representing various stages of the tiger's life from cub to adulthood. Be sure to also look out for the centrepiece, a family of five tigers that symbolise reunion, harmony and prosperity.

Additionally, you can also look forward to a wide variety of festive online programmes during this period, such as getai performances, baking workshops and cooking demonstrations.
