Galloping to Prosperity in Singapore Chinatown

I was exploring Chinatown today and is delighted with the galloping horse lantern design. The side of the roads along Eu Tong Sen and New Bridge are adorned with a starry of golden coinage (ancient Chinese coinage) and herd of energetic galloping horses since next year is the year of Horse in the Chinese Zodiac. 

The galloping horse theme is designed by a group of 19 students from Singapore University of Technology and Design. The horses and coinage are made of silk and wire and are assembled by 100 skillful Chinese craftmen who were invited to Singapore for the event. 

Get ready for the beautiful light display along Chinatown when the street will be illuminated with galloping horses and coinages from 11 January next year to 28 February.   
May next year be a great and prosperous year for all of you!
