祝大家中秋节快乐！

Here are the cute lanterns that are located at Sun Yat Sen Nanyang Memorial Hall for Wan Qing Mid-Autumn Festival 2021! 

I also went out to photograph the Mid-Autumn Festival full moon on 21st September and managed to get the full moon above the Old Jurong Railway Line Railway Bridge at Sunset Way/Clementi.

This is the second year whereby we celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival with a global pandemic looming over us. In a pre-Covid era, I used to visit Mid-Autumn Festival light ups and lanterns display across various venues in Singapore, photographing the lanterns and light ups, enjoying the festivities.

However, during this ongoing global pandemic period, I am not as keen as before. I am mentally and emotionally fatigued from battling this global pandemic that has severely disrupted our work and daily living. 

I would try to visit some of the venues such as Gardens By The Bay, Jurong Lake Gardens and Chinatown in Singapore next week on weekday evenings when the crowds tapers down, photographing the Mid-Autumn Festival 2021 lanterns and light up displays. 

On this Mid-Autumn Festival 2021, I wish everyone to have a wonderful and meaningful time bonding with your family  and loved ones together over mooncakes and Chinese tea. During this difficult and challenging period due to the ongoing global pandemic situation, it’s very tough on all of us. Family and loved ones are the ones that can take care of you, protect you and help you out during this pandemic period. 

Wishing all a Happy Mid-Autumn Festival 2021! 祝大家中秋节快乐！

Wan Qing Mid-Autumn Festival by Sun Yat Sen Nanyang Memorial Hall (SYSNMH) is a well-loved annual cultural event! Having visited Wan Qing Mid-Autumn Festival at SYSNMH over the past few years before the global pandemic situation hit us, it was fun, lively and packed with family with children. From live performances, activities and nice lanterns display, it was a weekend of fun and bonding time for families with children.

Even though there are safety restrictions in place due to the ongoing global pandemic, we still can celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival and learn about Chinese traditions and customs from the comfort of your own home with the well-loved Wan Qing Mid-Autumn Festival 2021 Digital Edition!

Lantern Installation “Those Moonlit Moments..”

Time: 10am to 9pm (daily)

Besides the online digital offerings of Wan Qing Mid-Autumn Festival, visitors to SYSNMH can enjoy its iconic and cute thematic lantern installations, “Those Moonlit Moments” produced by  Thailand artist Boonyavee Boonsakda (Ngaew Ngaew), in collaboration with SYSNMH. 

The kids would love the four large and cute lanterns! They feature the artist’s characters who are enjoying mooncakes and each other’s company under the gentle and watchful eye of Ngaew’s Moon Rabbit. This Moon Rabbit was created specially for the Mid-Autumn Festival, it’s inspired by the Jade Rabbit from Chinese folklore which keeps Goddess  Chang’e company on the moon.
