With Chinese New Year approaching, Singaporeans have been adding festive cheer through brilliant decorations in public spaces.
From upcycling decorative items to decking public transport in red and orange, such ornamentation never fails to capture the attention they deserve.
Recently, the beautiful festive lights of Pang Sua Pond in Bukit Panjang have turned heads, with many taking CNY photos with their loved ones during leisurely walks there.
If you haven’t been there yet, you can live vicariously through photos shared on social media that depict the poetic scenery there at night.
For those of us who are looking to catch a break from crowded mainstream places for CNY, we have netizens of Bukit Panjang to thank as they’ve unearthed a hidden gem in their neighbourhood.
Behold, Pang Sua Pond, a wetland attraction in the heartlands that offers a natural respite amid breathtaking scenery.
The nature destination is known for being Singapore’s second-largest man-made floating wetland system, and now, its equally impressive CNY lights set-up.
The cobblestone walkway takes us back to the days where we could navigate the narrow alleyways of Jiufen — the mountain town in Taiwan.
With vibrant lights and lanterns bathing the place in a warm glow, the boardwalk looks like the perfect spot for family and couple photos.
If your camera is good enough, come in a dreamy dress and try taking OOTD shots here in the night. We’re sure the results will be lit enough for the ‘gram.
Here’s a view of the lights from afar. You can even catch the shimmery lights being reflected on the water.
