    Marking the end of the autumn harvest, the Mid-Autumn Festival was traditionally a time to give thanks to the gods. It is also a time of year that the moon is at its brightest, which is why lunar legends have always been attached to the celebration. Notably, the story of Chang E, the wife of a merciless king who downed the elixir of immortality he had intended to drink, to save her people from his tyrannical rule. The tale goes that she ascended to the moon after that, and has been worshipped by the Chinese as a Moon Goddess ever since. When dusk falls Since the Mid-Autumn Festival is about lunar appreciation, celebrations go into full swing once the sun goes down. Moon-viewing parties are a popular way to enjoy the occasion, as family and friends sit in gardens lit by the soft glow of paper lanterns, sip tea, nibble on mooncakes, and if so inspired, compose poetry in venerable Tang Dynasty fashion. Lanterns all a glow Children love this festival because they get to tote lanterns. The traditional opt for those lighted by wax candles elegant paper versions or more elaborate multi-hued cellophane and wire structures shaped into everything from cars to cartoon characters. There are also unfortunately, plastic battery-operated music-emitting versions but to each his own. You’ll get to examine the real thing up close at some of the celebrations around the island, particularly in Chinatown where large beautiful lanterns will be on display marvels of creativity, artistry and traditional craftsmanship. You’ll also get to sample mooncakes and fine teas at the street bazaars, watch nightly performances and peek at lantern-painting competitions.

    A bridge which connected The shoppes at Marina Bay Sands and Gardens by the Bay. We can enjoy the view and take some pictures with Gardens by the Bay’s background.

    A nice lake full of big white eggs that are really beautiful, colorful and very magical and mysterious during the evening light show. And, of course, there are also artificial dragon flies. :)

    A lush garden worth the visit. Buy tickets on line from 3rd party websites which are more reasonable than what you would pay at the counter.

    Dragonfly Lake is located within Gardens By The Bay location. It is a very good, well maintained tourist spot for travelers and walking, jogging spot for residents. Good walking track is there, spot is serene with water fountains and space to seat. Several steps and benches are available for sitting. Don’t miss to spend sometime at the lake when you visit Gardens By The Bay.

    Part of a great 3.5km running/walking loop around Gardens By The Bay. The boardwalk on the Dragonfly lake runs North-South and provide serene views over the Dragonfly lake and into other subsections of the Gardens. Highly recommend running early in the day (around sunrise) to beat the heat, enjoy the shade of the canopy overhead and to beat the crowds!

    Been there in February 2020 and the river full of dragon eggs! So interesting, because if you visit it in the night, the eggs will be colorful! I passed by the lake in the middle of the day but the eggs still gave me view and it looks instagramable 🥚🥚🥚

    Peaceful and beautiful. Nice to go for a walk especially at night when its cooler. They did light shows at night for Christmas and a christmas lights display, but there were lots of people so be aware of crowds.

    The Dragonfly Bridge is a pedestrian walkway from the Sands Expo building that leads into the Garden by the Bay. The bridge itself is all that interesting, it’s the perfect vantage point for views of the Dragonfly and Kingfisher lakes. While the views during the day are good, it’s best to view it during the night when there is a light show of a multitude of egg shaped sculptures across the lake. The bridge also has great views of the Sands Expo and again, night is best to see the latter building lit up.

    A lot of people just pass by this place because they don't know its beauty… But this is also one of the nice things here, that you do not meet too many people and can enjoy the atmosphere ;-)

    It was a rainy morning but I was surprised by the greenery within the city. Having been here for 10 years, this was my first time walking this route from the Marina Boulevard.

  • 5/5 Christian M. 4 years ago on Google
    A magical place with unbelievable relaxiation powers. You should visit the lake at least two times: by day and by night.
