Smoke Free Parks - Jurong Bird Park, Singapore Zoo, Night Safari
|
All 3 Wildlife Reserves Singapore (WRS) parks: Jurong Bird Park, Night Safari and Singapore Zoo have gone smoke-free effective January 1, 2009, which is in line with the current smoke-free campaign. As family-friendly parks, adopting a smoke-free environment and moving towards a healthier and cleaner environment for our visitors and animals, is a natural initiative for WRS. All visitors and tour guides entering the Parks are advised to follow the non-smoking rule.
Thank you.

Chinatown Hungry Ghost Festival 2010
|
To showcase the rich and intriguing culture of this mystical festival, the Chinatown Business Association is organising a string of activities (for the living!) to experience this unique side of Singapore.
This unique experience includes special walking tours in Chinatown that will provide visitors with a better understanding of Chinese beliefs, myths and taboos, as well as an exhibition showcasing rare photographs of Festival celebrations in the earlier decades.
The "Birth, Life & Death" will walk participants through Chinatown to look at interpretations of traditional Chinese beliefs that are part of the life cycles of birth and death. Participants will get opportunities to consult the Almanac and have their fortunes told.
In "Walking with the Good Brothers", visitors will embark on a mystical journey of the Hungry Ghost festivities in Chinatown, including finding out which deity acts as the Festivals "policeman", secrets behind the "Fa Cai Ang Bao" (prosperous red packet), watching the rituals being performed as well as being immersed in the evening Getai and auction dinner.
These walking tours will run throughout the seventh lunar month from 10 August till 7 September 2010, on both Saturdays and Sundays.
For more information, please contact Ms Jennifer Lee at jennifer@chinatown.org.sg or 6372 0478.
