Lights by the Lake at Jurong Lake Gardens
With the recent reopening of Chinese Garden and Japanese Garden, Lights by the Lake is back with its third and largest annual edition in celebration of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Beyond Lakeside Garden, you can also find illuminated installations at the two rejuvenated gardens. In all, the three lush spaces make up Jurong Lake Gardens.
Regale your kids with Chinese legends such as Nezha And The Dragon King, the inspiration behind one of the six lantern displays at Lakeside Garden.
As you cross the White Rainbow Bridge into the Chinese Garden, be greeted by installations of a dragon and a phoenix. There are five other lantern sets here, including one that is fashioned after Chinese orchestra instruments.
Meanwhile, at the Japanese Garden, there are three origami-styled animal lanterns and a series of flower arches.
The lanterns are lit from 6.30 to 10pm daily until Sept 22. Admission is free. Find out more at lightsbythelake.nparks.gov.sg
