Lunar New Year is almost here and it’s all about looking and feeling lucky in fifty shades of red.

Ever wondered why the town is painted red come Lunar New Year?

The colour red is considered to be a lucky colour as it’s believed that it can ward off evil spirits, and in turn, bring happiness, wealth and prosperity.

From red money envelopes, to outfits, gifts and decorations, this colour brings the Lunar New Year festivities to life.
