Gardens by the Bay – Singapore’s number one tourist attraction. I have been there a few times, and still I haven’t finished exploring it all. Every time I go there, I see new things – things I didn’t realized were there during my previous visit. If you like gardens, this is a must visit – if you were ever in Singapore. You could easily spend the whole day there.

But this post is not about the Gadens by The Bay. It is about the Mid-Autuum Festival. Gardens by the Bay celebrates the Mid-Autuum festival, with a display of lanterns all over the Gardens. There were also cultural events and performances.

Look up Gardens by the Bay – Official Site
and
Gardens by the Bay - Wikipedia
for more information.

Here are photos of some of the lanterns I spotted while I was there. There were some impressive ones, but because it was dark and armed only with a phone camera, the photos don’t do justice to the display.

howdy sir Vincent! hey what are moon cakes? probably something made with hydrogenated oils? lol. they look amazing.
wonderful photos and those colors! my gosh that is so cool!

That thing looks like the place to be! excellent post!

@janton - Moon-cakes are sweet, bean paste based pastries. It's a Chinese name which got lost in translation.
Never mind, we live only once. Might as well enjoy the food - in moderation of course. There are all sorts of dangers out there. It's a dangerous world out there, remember? lol

sir Vincent! yay it feels good to be able to be writing to you again! I guess I was a little bit addicted but I think I'm over it now. Yes I agree that we should be able to enjoy all kinds of food in moderation.
In most places it's not exactly the Wild West but there are still some dangers especially in our country!
Well I've never heard of moon-cakes and beans don't sound very sweet but I'd still like to try them because they sound unusual.

Hey, howdy @janton. I know what you mean, about not being able to post on Steem. But it looks like they have rectified the problem now. Yipee!
Maybe you will come to Asia one day and enjoy all the Asian Cuisines. :-)
Have a great weekend!

sir Vincent! yes we are back! But I'm already running out of voting power and I'm just getting started for the day so I'm going to have to use very small votes or save them and not vote at all which I don't like.

I suppose you're going crazy, furiously typing away to catch up? lol.

Hey and about coming to Asia, wow I would love to, that would be so much fun and so interesting! Of course, I may have to talk Mrs. J into it and that might take a few years so don't expect us next year! lol.

I made one post yesterday and the RC was down 50% and till now it is not replenished. So, I am not in a hurry to catch up at all. With voting powers and RC limited, the days ahead will be tough. If this happened in the real world, everybody will be looking for new jobs. lol

very true sir Vincent. yeah I had to stop voting pretty fast. Well the last thing I read said that it will take anywhere from a week to a month for the new system to equalize and level everything out but that it is meant to help the small and newer accounts so we will see, it sounds good they say we just need patience. easy for them to say.
