This Mid-Autumn Festival, fantastical lantern sets depicting a beautiful mythical world will adorn Gardens by the Bay.

What to Look Out for at Mid-Autumn Festival 2018 At Gardens By The Bay
Lantern Displays
Celebrate an Autumn of Fantasies with dazzling lantern sets that bring to life imaginary worlds and natural wonders.
In “Leaping over the Dragon’s Gate”, Gardens by the Bay presents their widest lantern set to date. Spanning 70 metres across Dragonfly’s Lake, lay eyes upon a scene of carps which are braving strong currents and swimming upstream toward the Dragon’s Gate, in hopes of turning into dragons.
Another spectacular lantern set to look out for is “The Phoenix and the Peony” at the Supertree Grove, which symbolises nobility, harmony and affluence.
