Opened as a YWCA in 1925 and turned into a hotel after the Great Depression, the Hotel Figueroa attracts celebrities, tourists, and crowds before and after concerts and sporting events. The architecture and decor combines Spanish and Moroccan influences.

Choo Yut Shing took this amazing photo of a truly awesome snake lantern slithering down a street in Singapore City’s Chinatown district as part of Chinese New Year celebrations. The beautiful lantern was actually made up of 850 individual yellow sky lanterns and spanned a spectacular length of 300 metres (nearly 985 feet) “from the junction of Upper Cross Street and South Bridge Road to Sago Street.”
