Since 2016, the Gardens by the Bay have held their annual Sakura Matsuri event in March.
This year, the urban nature park is launching a new Sakura Floral Display that features the beloved Sanrio character Hello Kitty.

The display, located at the Flower Dome, is set to open to the public on Mar. 1.
Japanese landscape
Visitors can walk through torii, a traditional Japanese gate often found at the entrance or within a Shinto shrine that marks one's entry into a sacred space.
The display at the Flower Field will feature tancho (Japanese red-crowned cranes), sakura (cherry blossoms), and momo (peach blossoms).
