Mid Autumn Celebration in Singapore

I went to the Chinese Garden Mid Autumn Festival decoration event last Sunday (26th Sept). It was the last day of the event. It has been opened to public for visit since two weeks ago and there was a fire work event on the 15th in the eighth month of lunar calendar (22nd Sept).
Main Entrace

The Mid Autumn Festival atmosphere was much reduced on that day. The weather was hot (reached there around 5pm). Not many people walking around. I think mainly are foreigners like me. I heard about this event from a leaflet sent to my door step. With this leaflet I can exchange for a free lantern, and by the entrace you can get a token for free moon cake.

The garden is not very big. Not much decoration, may be have been taken down. I heard from my local friends, the Mid Autumn Lantern Festival is a yearly event in Chinese Garden, in 2008, the theme is Hello Kitty. In my opinion, this year the event is too near to the Singapore F1 race, thus, not many advertisement and emphasis on it. Below are some photos taken:


Pagoda

Chinese Zodiac Garden

Lake

Children Play Area

Exit to Chinese Garden MRT Station
I didn't stay until dark to see the light deco, it simply too hot...sweat.gif

There is a Japanese Garden adjacent to it, I shall visit it next time...I went back after bought a drink from a vending machine for SGD1.70...expesive...(Note: there is a drink seller just before MRT station, selling drinks at SGD1.00...shakehead.gif)


BTW, saw someone playing cards under bamboo tree's shade...hahaha....
