In keeping with this week’s Mid-Autumn Festival, here’s a repost from the celebration in Singapore in 2014.

Here are a few photos from around Singapore during this colorful month of mooncakes and lights. Chinatown was abuzz with activity as usual, with row after row of lighted flowers strung across Eu Tong Sen Street. Gardens by the Bay was aglow with massive light scenes — on land and floating in the water — depicting historic scenes, animals of the Chinese zodiac, and countries of the world. And Takashimaya, a favorite retail store, became a mooncake paradise with case after case of beautifully crafted parcels for sale from hotels and restaurants all over the city. If only they tasted as good as they look!
