🇸🇬 没有抽到国庆庆典门票 公众可以到哪里看烟火？ 国庆庆典时隔十年再次重返国家体育场，自6月27日举行首次联合彩排以来，每逢周六，加冷盆地周边都吸引大批公众前往观赏烟火，提早感受国庆气氛。   https://8w.news/44sfPWX   Since the National Day Parade (NDP) is returning to the **National Stadium** for the first time in a decade, the Kallang Basin area has become the prime spot for catching the spectacular fireworks during the rehearsals and on the main day (August 9).   According to the *8world* report, if you didn't manage to get tickets, here are the **three hottest free viewing spots** around the stadium to catch the action:   ### 1. The Kallang (加冷汇) — *The "Cat 100" Front Row View* Dubbed **"Cat 100"** by netizens because it puts you closest to the firework launch site, this area offers an intense, immersive experience with the Central Business District (CBD) skyline as your backdrop.    * **The Experience:** Best place to feel the atmosphere. You’ll be able to hear the official parade music, see the fireworks right overhead, and hear the crowds inside the stadium cheering.    * **Crowd Note:** Expect heavy crowds. Areas like the **Stadium Riverside Walk** and the **Water Sports Centre** get packed incredibly fast.    * **Nearest MRT:** Stadium (Circle Line). Mountbatten (Circle Line) and Kallang (East-West Line) are also within a 2km walking distance.    * **Transport Tip:** Road closures will happen on event days, so taking public transport is highly recommended over driving.   ### 2. Tanjong Rhu Waterfront Promenade — *The Photographer’s Choice*   Dubbed **"Cat 1000"**, this promenade sits directly across the Kallang River from the National Stadium.    * **The Experience:** It features a highly open, wide-angle view. It is perfect for families and photography enthusiasts because you can capture both the dome of the National Stadium and the fireworks perfectly in a single frame.    * **Nearest MRT:** Tanjong Rhu (Thomson-East Coast Line). Katong Park (TEL) is within 2km. If Sheares Bridge is open for pedestrians, Promenade MRT (Circle/Downtown Line) is about a 2km walk away.    * **Driving:** You can attempt to park at the **Gardens by the Bay East** car park, but it only has 59 slots, so you'll need to arrive very early.   ### 3. Kallang Basin Vantage Point (Nicoll Highway Promenade) — *The Picnic Spot* Located along the waterfront promenade near Nicoll Highway, this area offers a slightly more distant but beautiful view of the fireworks.    * **The Experience:** Along with the lookout point, there are large, wide open lawns. It is highly recommended for families who want to set up a weekend picnic mat and relax while waiting for the sky to light up.    * **Safety Warning:** The grassy banks next to the water do not have permanent railings. Keep a close eye on young children.    * **Nearest MRT:** Nicoll Highway (Circle Line). To beat the Circle Line crowds after the show, you can walk to Lavender (East-West Line, ~1km) or Bugis (Downtown/East-West Line, ~1.5km).    * **Driving:** This area has the most nearby parking options. You can easily park at **Suntec City, Marina Square, or Millenia Walk** and walk over.   ### 💡 Pro-Tips for National Day  * **Check Live Crowds:** The Singapore Police Force will be setting up a live, real-time map called **Crowd@Kallang** online. Check it before you head down to see if certain entry points or walkways have been temporarily closed due to overcrowding.    * **Go Early:** Many people start setting up their spots and picnics as early as mid-afternoon on Saturdays during the rehearsa ls and preview shows.
