This spectacular lantern set at @gardensbythebay is "Water Colours" and it features the famous cormorant fishermen you see in many photos taken in China. Yea, it's a tourist thing now as it's a dying trade. "Cormorant fishing is a traditional fishing method in which fishermen use trained cormorants to fish in rivers. Historically, cormorant fishing has taken place in Japan, China and Korea, as well as Greece, North Macedonia, and, briefly, England and France. It is described as a method used by the ancient Japanese in the Book of Sui, the official history of the Sui Dynasty of China, completed in 636 AD. This technique has also been used in other countries but is currently under threat in China." - Wikipedia I recommend you download the map from their website and follow the recommended route to see all the lanterns. Two alternative routes - 600m for 30 minutes or 1.2km for an hour. Do the latter, it's worth it. https://m.gardensbythebay.com.sg/en/whats-on/calendar-of-events/mid-autumn-festival-2019.html Date: 30 Aug - 15 Sep Time: 7.00pm - 11.00pm #gardensbythebay #cormorantfishing #MidAutumnGBB #lanterns #lanternfestival #MidAutumnFestival #mooncakefestival #Singapore #SgBicentennial #ExploreSG #ExploringSingapore #igsg #instasg #instagramsg #VisitSingapore #igsingapore #Sgig #sgmemory #sgheritage #sgevents #sglife #sgculture #igerssingapore #lovinsingapore #SingaporeInsiders #wonderlustsingapore #whatissingapore #PassionMadePossible (at Gardens by the Bay) https://www.instagram.com/p/B15MNQUHuEd/?igshid=1nwxj3s1f4p8l
