Gardens by the Bay's Christmas Wonderland event was officially launched on Friday.

Among the event's attractions are stunning light sculptures from Italy, inspired by Baroque architecture from the 16th and 17th centuries.

There is also an elaborate tent adorned in mirrors and stained glass, as well as a European- style festive market.

The event is jointly organised by Blue Sky Events and Gardens by the Bay, and the light sculptures will be illuminated until Jan 1.
