Mid-Autumn Dumpling Festival Goes Online

Due to the extended Circuit Breaker and enhanced safe distancing measures implemented in view of the COVID-19 situation, several of the events organised by the National Heritage Board (NHB) will no longer be able to take place physically as planned. However, members of the public can look forward to enjoying digital editions of Wan Qing Dumpling Festival from the comfort of their homes.

As part of its ongoing efforts to promote Chinese arts, culture and heritage, the Sun Yat Sen Nanyang Memorial Hall (SYSNMH) will present its annual Wan Qing Dumpling Festival online from 1 to 30 June 2020. 

Some of the highlights include an online cooking tutorial by Kim Choo Kueh Chang with step-by-step instructions on how to prepare their famous rice dumplings, animated short stories, game contests and craft tutorials. 

Through this, Singaporeans will be able to better understand and appreciate the historical and cultural significance of the Dumpling Festival – also known as the Dragon Boat Festival, an important festival celebrated by Chinese all over the world.For more English News, please click Here.Related Links:
