RED OF COURSE! In Singapore , when Chinese New Year is reaching , almost everywhere in Singapore is decorated in red lanterns , red light , flowers that are ALSO IN RED.ALMOST EVERYTHING IS IN RED !!! Especially in Chinatown, IT IS JUST LIKE A RED SINGAPORE.
AND HONGBAO IS OBVIOUSLY THE SYMBOL OF CHINESE NEW YEAR!! EVERYONE LOVES RECEIVING HONGBAO. And it's a tradition every year , for married couples to give single people , especially work colleagues and children hong bao.And people always wonder why must hong bao be RED ? Why cant it be YELLOW? Or even BLUE? LET ME TELL YOU THE REASON WHY :)It's actually because the Colour of the hong bao which is red , symbolizes good luck and it wards off evil spirit. And there is a believe that the number 4 should not appeared in the amount of money in the HONGBAO as it means die in Chinese.
