SINGAPORE, Dec. 15 (Xinhua) -- Singapore kicked off here on Friday its biggest carnival in a festive season.
The Prudential Marina Bay Carnival, formerly timed to be opened on Dec. 8, was put off a week for final approval.
Covering a floor space of 25,000 square meters near the Marina Bay and featuring more than 40 rides and games from around the world, it boasted to be the biggest carnival of its kind ever held in the city-state.
"This is the first carnival of such a scale in the heart of the city and we are bringing many rides from overseas to Singapore for the first time," said Barnabas Chia, the head of the carnival's organizing team.
The carnival, which will run until April 1 next year, charged no fee for admission and different fees for different game.
On New Year's eve, there would be musical performance to cheer up the audience.
