Sakura Matsuri Event
The Garden’s by the Bay Sakura Matsuri: Tale of the Peach Boy Floral Display event was launched last Friday, 6 March.
The event circles around Momotaro, a boy who born from a giant peach, and this tale was inspired by Japanese folklore.
Other than looking at Momotaro, you can also take a peek at how the Japanese survive winter with the Gassho-style farmhouse installations. The thatched roofs are as such despite the small establishments in order to withstand the heavy snowfall.
And if you’re a fan of Japan, you probably would have known that Japanese shrines usually have these torii gates.
They are definitely iconic, and posing under these gates will give off the vibe that you’re actually in Japan!
And of course, you’ll also be able to take photos of the beautiful flowers that have bloomed. Experience Japan through the cherry blossoms and take as many as you want as they’re only around for a limited period of time.
Pan Pacific Singapore Staycation Package
The giveaway by Gardens by the Bay will include three different packages.
The first one is the Great Fun-Mily Escapade package that is worth a whopping $798+!
