Essentials about the Fountain of Wealth in brief

In a city like Singapore, where a great deal revolves around money and wealth, a fountain of wealth is something of a logical sight. But the Fountain of Wealth, built in 1995, is not just any fountain; it has held the title of the world’s largest fountain in the Guinness Book of Records since 1998. The fountain is located in Suntec City, one of the largest shopping malls in the heart of Singapore. It is made of bronze and consists of a ring almost 14 meters high with a circumference of 66 meters, supported on four large sloping columns.

The symbolism of the Fountain of Wealth

The architecture of the fountain follows a deeper Asian symbolism and is based on the principles of Feng Shui. Water is a common symbol of life and prosperity in Chinese culture. The water flowing inward symbolizes the preservation of wealth in Suntec City. According to Feng Shui experts, the inward flowing water is also a symbol of riches flowing in. Those who believe in Feng Shui should walk around the fountain three times, staying in constant contact with the water – this is said to bring good luck.

At certain times of the day and also at night, the fountain is turned off. Then visitors can walk to the inner, small fountain in the middle. The highlight is the daily laser show between 8 and 9 p.m., accompanied by music.
