SINGAPORE: River Hong Bao celebrations for 2010 look set to usher in the Lunar New Year in authentic Chinese fashion.
This year's event is co-organised by China's Chengdu government, and will see a record 88 lanterns on display.
Aside from the perennial favourites such as the God of Fortune and animals from the Chinese zodiac, visitors can also look forward to lanterns made of sugar and even ceramic spoons.
Into its 24th year now, the River Hong Bao will also feature traditional handicrafts from Chengdu and the city's unique street food culture.
The event will be held at the Marina Bay floating platform, with festivities carried out over nine days starting from February 12.
