Chinese Garden Lantern Festival 2008

Brought SGFemale and son to Chinese Garden on Thursday since the weather was good. Decorated with 21 themes of lanterns, including Hello Kitty and her friends, the Mid-Autumn mood fills the air with laughter and joy. It is the ideal place to be to celebrate all that the Mid-Autumn festival means: The spirit of togetherness and reunion amongst family and friends.

Our son was very excited and happy the entire evening. We bought him a ballon dog that floats on 4 legs and our son was very much attached to his 'dog' the whole nite.

Lantern Fantasy 2008 is the BIGGEST CHARACTER LANTERN SHOW EVER IN THE WORLD, with close to 300 character lanterns handcrafted by 106 lantern craftsmen, over a 3-months period with an average of 16 working hours daily. To create this festival, the organisers have also used 30000m of wires, 18000 pieces of bulbs, 16500m of fabric, 26 tonnes of steel and 750 tubes of fluorescents!

Lantern Fantasy 2008 at the Chinese Garden is easily accessed by car with ample parking available, or a 3-minute walk by MRT to Chinese Garden Station (EW25).
