Checking Out : Sentosa Flowers on Chinese New Year!

5 February 20112 Comments


[Cute round benches just outside Vivo City where we had our family shot taken]

So what did you do on Chinese New Year?

Well, we thought since shops will mostly be closed on the very first day of CNY, we should just check out Vivo City. It’s probably be ‘rather quiet’, yes?

Hmm. Wrong.

To our surprise, we saw crowds boarding the Sentosa bus (oranged-coloured ones) at HarbourFront Bus Terminal. And upon reaching Vivo City, we saw MORE crowd. I mean, people by the HUNDREDS queuing to go up the escalators from level 2 to level 3. And when we were on level 3, there’s this HUGE crowd queuing up to board Sentosa’s monorail (on level 3).

Soon enough we found out that they all were going to Sentosa to check out this year’s Sentosa Flowers 2011!

It’s the very FIRST day the festival.

And so, since we’re already there, we thought, let’s go and check out Sentosa Flowers!

We’re definitely NOT going by bus nor the monorail though (way too crowded!).

We chose to go by Sentosa Boardwalk!

And it was a GOOD decision because the weather was nice, and you’d actually start seeing lots and LOTS of flowers from the boardwalk onwards!

(The venues for Sentosa Flowers are: Sentosa Boardwalk, Resorts World Sentosa, Merlion Plaza, Imbiah Lookout)

Anyway.

We spent at least five good hours altogether there.

The crowd was too huge for us to go all the way to Merlion Plaza and Imbiah Lookout though. So we spent most of our time at the Resort World Sentosa area before heading home (My feet needed a good rub after those few hours of walking!)

Here are a few more photos of our visit that day!

Oh btw, we really wanted to check out the free Crane Dance show. It’s supposed to be really good. BUT the nightly show starts at 9pm. We’ve spent our entire afternoon at Sentosa, so definitely we’re not going to stay there till 9pm. Will return to check it out some other time for sure.

Anyway.

If you’re thinking of going over to check out Sentosa Flowers, here’s more info and tips:

– If the weather is good, I’d suggest going to Sentosa by the boardwalk. The view is nice, and it’s accessible by wheelchairs and prams.

– Entrance to Sentosa via the boardwalk is $1 per person. You need to buy a ticket at the booth or use your EZ-Link.

– You can only use one EZ-Link for one person, and you CANNOT use your flashcard / cashcard.

– Sentosa Flowers is open from 3 – 13 February 2011, 10am – 10pm.

Enjoy!
