Gardens by the Bay chief executive officer Felix Loh said: “Flowers are a quintessential part of Chinese New Year, and the dazzling colours of dahlias and their association with prosperity make them extremely popular as part of the celebrations.

We hope that everyone who visits will be able to immerse themselves in the joy and vibrancy of a new spring through our colourful and engaging floral displays and exciting programmes.

The Sun Yat Sen Nanyang Memorial Hall, also known as Wan Qing Yuan, in Tai Gin Road will kick-start its Wan Qing Festival of Spring 2023 with Bunny-ful Blessings, an outdoor installation featuring two 2.5m-tall rabbits that symbolise double “hare-ppiness”.

Presented in collaboration with Hong Kong illustrator and designer Chan Siu Kau, it will be open to the public from Dec 29 to Feb 19.

NHB deputy chief executive of policy and community Alvin Tan said: “We expect museum visitorship figures to be higher than in 2022 due to crowd-pullers such as our popular hongbao campaign and festive lawn installation, as well as new innovative offerings such as our temple tours.

However, due to revenge tourism and more competing local offerings, it remains to be seen whether we can return to pre-Covid-19 figures.
