The centrepiece of RWS CNY 2026 is POP MART’s Golden Gallop Series, featuring life-sized installations of popular POP MART characters placed across multiple locations in the resort.

Instead of being confined to one spot, the installations are spread out — encouraging visitors to explore RWS while snapping photos with fan favourites like LABUBU, DIMOO, SKULLPANDA and more. Each installation is styled with festive details inspired by the Year of the Horse, making them perfect for Chinese New Year photos.

POP MART Stamp Rally (Free & Surprisingly Fun)

One of the most accessible activities this CNY is the POP MART Stamp Rally, which is free to join.

Here’s how it works:

• Pick up a POP MART Passport at WEAVE
• Visit different POP MART installation points around RWS
• Collect stamps at each location
• Redeem an exclusive POP MART sticker set once you’ve completed the rally (while stocks last)

It’s an easy, family-friendly activity that turns your visit into a mini scavenger hunt — especially fun if you’re already walking around Sentosa for food, photos, or attractions

Singapore Oceanarium: CNY with a Calm, Meaningful Twist

For something quieter, the Singapore Oceanarium offers a special Chinese New Year underwater presentation titled Waves of Harmony.

This limited-time showcase explores themes of resilience, balance, and partnership, drawing symbolic parallels between marine life — especially seahorses — and Lunar New Year values. It’s a thoughtful alternative to loud festivities and works well for families or couples looking for a calmer CNY activitynt — especially fun if you’re already walking around Sentosa for food, photos, or attractions
