Facts and practical information

The Fountain of Wealth, located in the heart of Singapore, is a stunning testament to the city-state's reputation as a blend of cultural tradition and modern innovation. This iconic fountain, recognized by the Guinness Book of Records in 1998 as the world's largest, is a centerpiece of the Suntec City shopping mall, symbolizing wealth and life.

Cast in beautiful bronze, and boasting a design inspired by the Hindu Mandala, the Fountain of Wealth embodies a unity of spirit and art. It represents the equal distribution of wealth and the idea of 'life' in the city. The fountain's base covers an area of 1,683 square meters, and its water jets can shoot as high as 30 meters.

Visitors to the Fountain of Wealth can partake in a ritual believed to bring good luck. It involves walking around the central base of the fountain three times while touching the water – a practice said to imbue one with positive energy and fortune. At certain times of the day, the fountain is turned off, and people are invited to walk within its base for this purpose.

At night, the Fountain of Wealth is transformed by a captivating light and sound show, creating a mesmerizing spectacle against the Singapore skyline. It is not only a place of interest for those seeking prosperity but also a site for families and tourists to enjoy the harmony of water, light, and sound.
