Mid Autumn Festival 2019 at Gardens by the Bay Highlights
Lanterns at Gardens by the Bay
Admire the Giant Revolving Lantern (巨型走马灯), measuring 30 metres in diameter and wrapped around a Supertree. This super-sized lantern set is a reimagining of the traditional “Zou Ma Deng” (走马灯), which rotates because of the heat of the candle within and casts shadowed designs of a horse trotting on its panels. This lantern allows visitors to walk through it and view the story of Chang E and Hou Yi.
