  Okay, finally managed to beg a friend to come with me to the festival, the only one outside of China this year.
  
  There were 30 exhibits but my poor/lousy skills can only capture some, by my standard, good ones.
  
  Here's sharing with you :
  
  The Heavenly Temple

  Seems they like to showcase dragons. Many dragons on site. Here's one on the pond

  Yet another one, by the waterfront. This dragon is made up of plates, bowls, cups. It was awesome. I got a day picture too but it has me in it so cannot show lah.
  
  The eyes were of spotlights.
