Dragon Dance 2025
Long ago, in a rural village, farmers celebrated their harvest but forgot to thank the heavens for the favourable weather and bountiful year. Angered by their ingratitude, the Jade Emperor commanded the Dragon King not to send rain to the human world for three years! Moved by compassion, the kind-hearted Dragon Princess secretly lent a helping hand to the people. When the Jade Emperor found out, he was furious and sent heavenly soldiers to capture her. The villagers, wanting to repay her kindness, racked their brains for ways to rescue her. Can the Dragon Princess escape her fate? From 1 September, use SG Culture Pass credits for Dragon Dance tickets!
