What better way to celebrate this Lunar New Year than going on a dragon hunt? The Challenge Team of Dragon Hunters are here to share five locations that feature dragons – don't worry, there won't be any fire-breathing dragons.
1. Toa Payoh Playground
When you think about dragon monuments in Singapore, The Dragon Playground in Toa Payoh is often the first to come to mind. This iconic site is one of the remaining four dragon-themed playgrounds in Singapore and continues to be loved by young and old Singaporeans alike.
Address: 28 Lor 6 Toa Payoh, Singapore 310028
2. Whampoa Dragon Fountain
Initially built as a water fountain within a large park, the Whampoa Dragon Fountain has since appeared at several HDB flats in Whampoa. The statue stands as tall as three storeys high, making it hard not to stop and admire it in awe.

4. Marco Drago Statue @ Gardens By The Bay
