Fountain of Wealth

I’m not really sure why I’m writing a review on this, but it is one of the places that I visited in Singapore and took some pictures, so I guess I should throw in a few thoughts. However, I have learnt that apparently it is the largest fountain in the world, though I thought that there were bigger ones in the United States. The fountain itself is full of Chinese symbolism, representing wealth and prosperity, and apparently you can walk around the smaller fountain inside when they turn the larger one off. Well, I visited the place, but I must say that there are much more interesting places in Singapore to check out.

Singapore review #3
I love water features, water fountains, etc and man-​o-​man this is one BIG-​AZZ fountain!
How big? It’s over 45 feet tall (13.8 m), the ring at the top is 216 feet around (66 m) and the base sits on more than 18 100 sq ft (1683 sq m)! In fact it’s listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the largest fountain in the world! I repeat, this is one BIG-​AZZ fountain!
In Chinese culture water is the symbol of life and wealth. The water flowing inwards represents riches pouring in, thus the «Fountain of Wealth» name.
For a few hours each day (10am-​12pm /​2pm-​4pm /​6pm-7:30pm) they turn off the main fountain and people can walk around the small fountain bubbling at the center. «They» say if you walk around this smaller fountain 3 times, touching the water the entire time as you circle, you will gain some good luck. Well everyone can use some good juju, right? So guess what I did… yeah that’s me in the black shirt.
By the way, this fountain is at the center of the Suntec City shopping mall and the base is below street level. It was quite impressive to see and I really enjoyed having the chance to walk around the small fountain at the center for a little extra good luck!

It was okay. The top ring wasn’t on. The floor part of the fountain was fun to watch though. I feel like I wasted my time walking here.

Magic place!!! my life become better after visiting this place. Everyday luck is chasing me everywhere! It is very beautiful and incredible place that every human should visit

Guinness Book of Worlds Records says this is the largest fountain in the WORLD! SG has so man records… most expensive buildings, largest this and that… wow!
It’s okay. Pictures online are way better than the pictures in real life. There must have been some special lighting or effects going on.
Nice to visit but don’t do what I did and go out of your way to see this thing. If you are in the Suntec area or heading to the Alive Museum, then swing by after you eat something at Food Republic. If not, head to one of the Quays or stay near the Marina district.

The Fountain of Wealth, a fitting water feature in the heart of the lion city. Although I am not a firm believer of luck, I am sure we could all use some. Besides being an amazing water feature for photos, this venue has also been used previously for new year parties. If memory serves me right, one of the biggest parties to bring in the year 2000 was held here! If you’re looking to see the true beauty of this fountain, visit at night where lighting effects come into play!

Aside from the job fairs and conventions, there is another reason to visit Suntec– The Fountain of Wealth. This iconic place is frequented by spectators and hopeful people who seek to attract good fortune. Aside from that, you can basically enjoy it’s modern yet simple structure.
We visited the Fountain of Wealth early (probably around 9am) because that’s the time that the large fountain is shut down, leaving the small fountain in the middle-​the fountain of wealth. We were allowed to go near and touch the water. Place your hand in the water and walk around clockwise for three times. It is said and believed that by doing so, it will bring you good fortune. Well, I do believe in luck and that things happen in the right time and for a good reason. So I did try it. It hasn’t given me what I wanted but I think it guided me to something better. This experience with the fountain has taught me that Singapore is a big believer of luck and fate. And looking at this fountain, I am quite impressed even if it’s just metaphorical.
Enjoying a time with the Fountain of wealth is free. Just take note of the opening times. Especially if you are aiming to experience the fountain up close and personal.
