Chinese Garden at Jurong Lake

The first time we visited Chinese Garden at Jurong Lake was on September 21, 2024, during the Lights by the Lake show celebrating Mid-Autumn  Festival. The garden had been closed for renovation for several years since we arrived at Singapore, and was reponed on September 8.

It was a Saturday and second to the last day of the light show. The area was unexpected crowded, the road to the north entrance was jammed. We took a detour and managed to find a parking spot at the south parking lot of the park. The light show at Chinese garden and surrounding area, made it worth the hassle.

But we did not really see the garden itself. So we went back about one month later, October 27, 2024, a bright sunny Sunday! Blue Sky, white clouds in the background, everything showed their true color. The down sides were that it was hot, and high UV exposure - need sunscreen, and sun sleeves... 

The following are some photos we took during out two visits.
