I was wondering what happens to Singapore during public holidays such as the Chinese New Year's Day?Are there any shops/businesses opened? Is there any processions?
...........
ans.
Most shops will close the first 2 days to give staff time off. Large stores open from the 3rd day but smaller shops, hawker stalls and family owned businesses likely to be closed longer as this is their only break for the year.
ans.
It's not that dire. Here's the list of opening times for Orchard road malls
Only the Sunday is badly affected. Little India, Mustafas mall, the Arab quarter, hotel dinning establisment, lots of resturants, all tourist attraction (Sentosa,USS, Zoo, bird park , etc.... ) will be open.
This is just for Chinese newyear by the way. For other public holidays expect opening times to be extended and all shopping areas to be busier than normal.
ans.
For processions, check out the Chingay celebrations, Singapore's annual Chinese New Year procession that has evolved into a street parade of international and community performances.
The parade takes place 1 week after Chinese New Year, on 22nd and 23rd Feb, at the F1 Pit Building next to the Flyer. Expect some fireworks at the finale too!
ans.
Big malls will be opened but not all shops on the first 2 days of cny. Good time for shopping as there be after cny sales.
Many restaraunts esp Chinese restaraunts will be close the first 2 days. And some will increase their price due to cny.
Tourist attractions will be open as usual.
