Mid-Autumn @ Clarke Quay


Strangely the decor at Chinatown itself is sparse this year. The focus for this year's Mid-Autumn Festival (which falls on 14 Sep) is shifted to Clarke Quay. The light-up was probably last Sun ... when we drove past, there was fireworks display and after we finished dinner, the lion and dragon dances were commencing.


We're there again today and I've got some pictures of paper models of ancient Chinese people, as well as characters from Chinese legends and history like Journey to the West and Romance of the Three Kingdoms. There're also models of the zodiac animals.

Here're some pictures ... fewer people today cuz of the rain so the pictures are pretty good though I missed three of the zodiac animals cuz my camera battery died :(
