The global coronavirus outbreak may have disrupted some people's plans to travel to Japan this month to view cherry blossoms, but Gardens by the Bay is offering them a chance to view peach and cherry blossoms at its Flower Dome.

Singapore residents can share what their disrupted trip meant to them through the Gardens' website this week for a chance to win free tickets to the Sakura Matsuri, Japanese for Cherry Blossom Festival, which was launched yesterday.

Tickets will be available for 500 residents who had planned to travel to Japan between March 1 and May 31. They will have to provide proof of trip cancellation from the airline or travel agency.

Gardens by the Bay's chief executive officer Felix Loh said the effort is part of the attraction's Where Flowers Never Stop Blooming initiative, that hopes to "inspire and build confidence within the community" amid the Covid-19 outbreak.

Children can follow the adventures of Momotaro, a Japanese folklore hero said to be born from a peach, and three legendary warriors.

Jesus says inMatthew 11:28“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
