What is open during Chinese New Year 2020?

What is open during Chinese New Year 2020? Here’s 365days2play’s annual list of supermarkets, malls, clinics, food courts, and kopi/cafe places that are open during the CNY period! Hope you find it useful. If the supermarket or shopping centre in Orchard road is not listed here, it’s because the information is not available (yet)! You can also check the 2017 guide, 2018 guide and 2019 guide for reference. Oh if you’re looking for cafe opening hours for this CNY, it’s here. But most importantly, please spend time with friends and family instead of spending it entirely outside!
