Christmas at the Fountain

The fountain of Wealth in Suntec City is the world's biggest fountain! It is a gigantic bronze ring supported by 4 robot like legs. The first time I saw the structure I was almost waiting for it to transform and walk away :) In the morning you can go inside the inner ring to participate in a good luck ritual. All you have to do is go around the mini fountain three times with your right hand touching the water. Oh, don't forget to think of your wish while doing so :)

My friend and I didn't get to wish in the inner ring yesterday since they were busy installing the lights on the main ring so we decided to make our own ritual instead. We walked around the outer circle 3 times (yes, with our right hand extended) while thinking of our wishes. I think we looked a bit silly since the crew kept looking at us! A few hours after we were lucky enough to witness the fountain show with the Christmas lights installed. Merry Christmas Suntec city!
Don't forget to drop by the fountain for the show!

Wishing at the Fountain of Wealth

I have always believed in wishing wells, lucky coins and the like so i was really amazed when Erman and I visited the Fountain of Wealth in Suntec City, Singapore. The Fountain of Wealth is the mother of all wishing wells! I found out that it is even included in the Guinness book of records as the largest fountain in the world. Cool, huh?

The fountain is located at the basement of the Suntec compound. Visitors can make a wish by going around the main ring 3 times while touching the water with their right hand. It is best to visit the fountain in the afternoon and then stick around until 6pm when they turn on the water for the big ring. It would have been cool to make a wish again (and get wet!) when the main fountain is on but unfortunately they close the visitor entrance at this point. Aaw! Anyway, let's just wait and see if the lucky fountain works :)
