Mid-Autumn Festival At Gardens By The Bay




Mid-Autumn Festival is the season for moon cakes and lanterns.  Guess who enjoys the lanterns?  Children in the past used to carry small lanterns of all animal shapes in different bright colors lit by candles within the lanterns.

These days the lanterns are battery operated, as a safety feature.

This year there is a grand display of lanterns in the Gardens By The Bay near the Marina Bay Sands.

Clusters of huge colorful lanterns depicting characters from Chinese culture were on display, much to the delight of visitors many of whom were children.










They were very colorful and one can imagine how lovely they would be when lighted up at night.Unfortunately we couldn’t stay to see them lighted up.
