Mid-Autumn Festival @Gardens by the Bay 2015 - 滨海湾公园之中秋2015 (by @ace108)

中秋节快到了。月饼开始出售时,有点灵感,写了首诗。
月饼愁
之前也简易介绍过中秋节,尤其在新加坡有什么活动。

还发了另一帖分享了2014年在滨海湾公园拍的照片。

这次分享去年拍的。去年早到一点,有些在未天黑前拍。


Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching. When the stalls started selling moon cake, I had a little inspiration and wrote a Chinese poem:
月饼愁
In an earlier post, I had little introduction about Mid-Autumn Festival, in particular the activities in Singapore related to the festival.

In another post, I shared photos I took during Mid-Autumn Festival at Gardens by the Bay in 2014:

Just walk along.

一起走走。

Like in 2014, the animal kingdom returns.

跟2014年一样,有动物世界。

As in previous year, there is a food street in case you need to get some calories.

跟往年一样,有食街填饱你肚子。

Rest and watch the performances while your feet rest.

坐下看演出也可让你歇歇脚。

I don't see any reason to have camera right now, when we can take such great photos with phones :D

Well in my situation I have a really good point and shoot camera that is only worth $150 right now and it takes really good video as well. But my phone is an Android phone but doesn't take a picture anywhere close to the point and shoot camera and I don't want to get a $500 phone.

I don't see any reason to bring out a camera all the time but I do wish I had a camera for this place then. My ageing Samsung Galazy S5 takes good pictures in daylight but mess up alot otherwise. Better than the point and shoot which died few years back and I saw no reason to buy another.
With a camera that can control setting, I think still is a good option.

Looks like a good walk with some stuff to look at. Plus your phone camera is amazing too! How many days does the festival last?

It is. My Samsung Galaxy S5 is proven companion for daylight environment but indoors and nocturnal environment performance is sub-par. Mid-Autumn festival is celebrated only one day on the 15th day of the 8th month according to the lunar calendar which happens to be 15th Sep this year . The lanterns and lights setup usually last for a few weeks. This year at Gardens by the Bay (according to their official website http://www.gardensbythebay.com.sg/en/whats-on/calendar-of-events/2016-mid-autumn-festival/FESTIVAL-HIGHLIGHTS.html), it's from Sat, 3 Sep 2016 - Sun, 18 Sep 2016.

So Colorful!

thanks for you comments

First time that I read about the festival. How long does it take to build all these figures and houses?

Sorry, I have no idea. It must take weeks or months. I think part of it may be partially build and ship here to be assembled. Here's a piece from the local news media on 30-Aug which shows this year prep work and some completed. http://www.straitstimes.com/multimedia/photos/in-pictures-preparing-for-mid-autumn-festival
