Stroll through a field of about 1400 dahlias of mixed varieties, all of which were homegrown by GBTB's horticulturists for the very first time!

Apart from dahlias, expect to see and take photos of other CNY floral favourites such as azaleas, chrysanthemums and cymbidiums.

Here are some highlights to look forward to:

Lantern Globe

Lanterns play a big part in CNY decorations as they symbolise luck, prosperity and the reunion of people.

The lantern globe features more than 200 red lanterns and you can walk through the golden moon gates to admire them from within the globe!

The moon gate is a circular opening that acts as a passageway for visitors in traditional Chinese gardens.

Paired with lots of red and yellow or gold, the lantern globe display will surely bring you a year of good fortune and happiness when you walk through it!

Legend of Nian and Lion Dance

The lion dance is typically performed on the eve of CNY and is believed to be able to ward off evil spirits to bring prosperity and wealth.

Although there won't be an actual lion dance performance, you will still get to pose with the 'lions' at the display.
