Fireworks in Singapore!

National Day is near.. During those preview in July, many would be able to view a shorter view of the fireworks display. I managed to glimpse part of the spectacular firework on the last NDP preview when I was at Plaza Singapura.

Too bad, I didn't bring my camera along.
From young, I have this soft spot for fireworks. And especially those that are at Disneyland. Somehow makes the whole place looks every more magical.

Anyway, there is a list of where to view fireworks which i googled it.

Where to See Fireworks in Singapore
(For Launches at Marina Bay Waters)

 The Esplanade Theatre Waterfront Promenade

• A very convenient spot overall.
  
• You need to find a good spot if you don't want to see the construction sites in your fireworks photos

 The Esplanade Bridge

• A good place if you want the Merlion included in your fireworks photos.
  
• However, you still need to a wide-angle lens because the fireworks are pretty near.
  
• This spot is incredibly crowded during the New Year's Eve Countdown fireworks.

 Merlion Park

• Go to the Merlion Park if you want to hear the loud booms and to feel the fireworks 'falling on you'.
  
• A difficult place to get everything into your camera unless you use a fish eye lens or a wide-angle lens.
  
• Suitable to take children to, but crowded. You'll need to get there early and occupy the kids meaningfully.

 Clifford Pier

• A small area available to the public. Better if you book a seat at One on the Bund restaurant (see below).

 The Promontory @ Marina Boulevard

• This spot was a fireworks photographer's favourite before the re-construction took place. You get sweeping views across the water towards the Marina Bay hotels.
  
• Now refurbished, it's a lovely green space.
  
• Likely the venue of some carnival or fair during fireworks night and therefore a good spot to take kids to.
  
• Some photos of fireworks as seen from Marina Boulevard.

Marina Bay Sands Waterfront Boardwalk

• This newly completed timber boardwalk is situated just in front of Marina Bay Sands. It takes you all the way to the water's edge.

 Helix Bridge

• The spiralling steelwork may hinder your view of the fireworks. But it also creates an interesting perspective.
  
• There are also uninterrupted platform areas that protrude over the waters, which offers an interesting vantage view over the skyline.

 Marina Barrage

• Farther away than all the other viewing spots, but offer a 'sense' of seclusion.
  
• Take the MRT to Marina South Station. Then SBS Bus No. 400 or the Marina Barrage Shuttle Bus to the Barrage.
