Clock Your Daily Steps While Enjoying The Night Lights & Displays

The highlight of every Singapore Night Festival is to walk around town to look at the light installations while we try to get in our daily 10,000 steps. Go for dinner in the area and walk it off with a casual stroll inside the Bras Basah Bugis Precinct.
The map on the website does not show you your current location and what else is nearby so I plotted the locations of night lights and installations myself. You will be able to find what to eat nearby and decide where to start and end your journey. Click the top left icon on the map to view the legend.
Look at the map below and plan your route accordingly.
You can also click this link to open the plots on your own google maps and share them with your friends and families.
