SINGAPORE - Bereft of tourists due to border closures and flight suspensions, the streets of Chinatown have been quiet through the Covid-19 outbreak.
While the traditional street light-up will still take place from Sept 17 to Oct 16, a 360-degree virtual tour of the decorations will also be made available so that people can admire them from the comfort of their homes.This year's street light-up will involve about 700 lanterns and sculptures, which will depict traditional festival motifs and characters including Chang'e, goddess of the moon in Chinese mythology.
The lanterns and sculptures will line New Bridge Road, Eu Tong Sen Street and South Bridge Road. A 10-metre tall centrepiece depicting a family reunion scene will also be placed at the junction of Eu Tong Sen Street and Upper Cross Street.
