Happy 2022 Chinese Lunar New year of the Tiger! Its the time of the year where zodiac fengshui pops up all about Singapore heart land and malls quicker than you can grab bak kua off the crowded Chinatown streets.

It’s the time of the year again with visiting, oranges and red packets. As we prep up the red packets, yusheng and reunion dinners for the coming weeks, we also say goodbye to the year of the Ox comes the year of the Tiger.

Moreover,the zodiac sign Tiger is a symbol of strength, something we would need to see through the tail of the Covid-19 pandemic. We would expect it to be endemic. Also, restrictions are expected to be reduced with time to come.

In Chinese mythology, the Tiger is believed to be the king of all beasts. Also, the tiger is believed to exorcise evils, as well as bring forward people’s braveness. No wonder many Chinese believe that wearing hats or shoes with a tiger image brings good luck.

The light up is almost 5 meters tall and looks best lit at night.
