Mid-Autumn Festival Light Up 2019

Mid-autumn festival is coming. Chinatown light decors were lit up, ready for the celebration.

Wanted to try out some night photography. Hence, drove out to Chinatown last night to explore the area last night.

Parked my car in Hong Lim Hawker Centre multi-storey car park. Ate late dinner at a Michellin graded curry chicken noodle store. By the time I finished my dinner and walked to nearby Chinatown, it was almost 8.50pm.

The place was not as crowded as I thought. Perhaps it was a weekday; or perhaps Singaporeans are generally not too excited about Mid-autumn festival (when compared to Chinese New Year celebration).

Highlight of the light up - Moon fairy 嫦娥。The initial figurine was mired with controversy, as it was deemed to be too musculine and had to be changed.


The light decoration along the streets.





Stores selling lanterns!



The stage for performance.





Random photos in the Chinatown.






Somehow, the whole atmosphere lacked the hustle/bustles of festive celebration.
