Fountain of Wealth, Singapore

Fountain of Wealth, Suntec City, Singapore (28 July 2017)


Fountain of Wealth is a fountain at Suntec City, Singapore. Officially known as the Suntec City Fountain, it is regarded as the largest fountain in the world - if water flowing down rather than shooting up can be considered a fountain. The Fountain of Wealth is located at the centre of a traffic roundabout within the Suntec City commercial complex in Singapore.

The Fountain of Wealth, and in fact Suntec City as a whole, was constructed in accordance to feng shui principles. Surrounding it are five office blocks, one which is 18 storeys high and the remaining four 45-storeys. These office blocks represent the fingers of a left hand, and the Fountain of Wealth symbolises the ring in the palm of the hand, guaranteeing the retention of wealth.

The Fountain of Wealth is made of bronze. It comprises a circular ring with a circumference of 66 meters held up by four slanted columns. The base of the founted is located below ground, on the level of the restaurant base of Suntec City. At times, the main fountain is turned off so that visitors can walk around the smaller fountain at the center of the fountain's base, again in adherence to feng shui, for good luck. There is a small laser show at the Fountain of Wealth at night.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
