The fountain apparatus operates from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. every Saturday and Sunday in June through September, the office said, adding that the facilities will also be open for the Mid-Autumn Festival, which falls on Sep. 13 (Friday) this year, when the apparatus' operating time will also be from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.
