Chinese Gardens Still Closed
We were on a very long cycle ride so disappointed to find the Chinese gardens still closed. Signs say work will complete this year but there still looks like a lot to do.
As mentioned elsewhere if you alight at Lakeside MRT you can visit Jurong Lakeside gardens. Much smaller but still worth a visit

Easy to access via the SMRT, these gardens are peaceful relaxing to stroll through. The Chinese side has a beautiful towering pagoda, an abandoned teahouse, and a huge stone boat (like the Empress’s in Beijing). All of these are set around a lovely lake, with manicured lawns, flowers, plants, and trees everywhere. We also saw a large monitor lizard strolling along the shoreline of the adjoining river. Next came a whimsical garden with statues of the animals of the Chinese zodiac and a bonsai garden with a variety of house, bridge, and temple-like structures that formed a lovely enclosed courtyard. It was a wonderful experience.

The Chinese & Japanese gardens unfortunately are undergoing major renovation works at the moment (due for completion June 2021) So only a small section was open to visit! The lake area is still worth the visit as it has a lovely walking route around the area. You’ll be able to see the variety of fauna and wildlife within the lake area

Was quite a long Grab ride from Orchard Road to discover that, although there are lovely lakeside walks still open, the Chinese and Japanese Gardens are closed for quite a while longer while they undergo renovations.

A beautiful spot for a peaceful and relaxing early morning or late afternoon walk. You get to have the feel of both Japanese and Chinese culture at once. Glad to have been able to visit before it closed for renovation until 2021.

An interesting garden with lots of Asian culture to immerse in. Japanese Gardens, Chinese Pagodas, lakes and reptiles all to see. Not forgetting the interaction between the locals while they exercise. A great spot for an early morning or late afternoon walk.

Absolutely! They go on now and best time is of course the night time when the lights come on. Alternatively there is one going on at Gardens by the bay, along with the lights for Diwali.

Hi! If we started our walk from the gate near the chinese garden mrt station, do we need to go back to this gate or is there another mrt station to the other gate?

The Gardens don't have another gate and other MRT station nearby, so yes you just walk back to the Chinese Gardens MRT station. It's less than 5 minutes walk from the main gate of the Chinese and Japanese Gardens so it's very easy.
