Link’s Temple Mall Launches the Mid-Autumn Bunny Fiesta Introduction

A majestic 4-metre-tall moon rabbit lantern takes centre stage, showcasing the legacy of legendary papercraft shop Bo Wah Effigies

As the Mid-Autumn Festival draws near, Temple Mall proudly presents the Mid-Autumn Bunny Fiesta promotional event from 8 September to 6 October. Shoppers are invited to explore the mall's iconic photo spots, highlighted by the debut of a giant 4-metre-tall moon rabbit lantern. Step inside this lunar spectacle and get ready to take some memorable photos that capture the essence of this festival – a reunion under the moon. To step up the festive experience, the mall will organise bunny lantern workshops, and on select dates, Master Ouyang Bingzhi, the esteemed proprietor and head craftsman of legendary papercraft shop Bo Wah Effigies, will grace the mall, sharing the art of crafting traditional rabbit lanterns – a cherished Chinese tradition. This is a Mid-Autumn celebration not to be missed!

Evoking childhood memories with traditional cellophane paper lanterns

Mid-Autumn Festival is incomplete without an array of lanterns. During the festivities, Temple Mall North’s atrium proudly showcases a magnificent moon rabbit lantern, standing over 4 metres tall, designed in homage to traditional handcrafted paper lanterns. Its vibrant colours not only stir childhood nostalgia but also symbolise family reunions and universal happiness. Meanwhile, Temple Mall South’s ground floor features a dazzling moon rabbit lantern photo spot. Lunar rabbit decorations pepper various corners, immersing all visitors in the rich spirit of Mid-Autumn.

Bunny lantern workshop: sharing the joy of the festival

From now until 29 September, the mall is set to host a Bunny Lantern Workshop every Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Link Up members who spend a specified amount during the promotion can join the workshop once, where they can create a colourful rabbit lantern to celebrate the festivities. On 23 September, the mall has the distinct honour of welcoming Master Ouyang Bingzhi, the second-generation proprietor of the 60-year-old renowned Hong Kong shop Bo Wah Effigies. As a special instructor, he will personally teach the art and technique behind crafting these traditional rabbit lanterns, ensuring the continuation of this treasured Chinese cultural craft.

“The rabbit lantern is a highly emblematic traditional craft of the Mid-Autumn Festival and holds collective memories for many,” Master Ouyang Bingzhi said. “This workshop aims to offer young people and children a hands-on experience in the lantern-making process, allowing them to relish its charm. Creating their very own lantern is bound to instil a profound sense of pride and achievement.” Upon completion, participants can take home their meticulously crafted lanterns, allowing them to celebrate the joyous festival with a personal touch.

Mid-Autumn market showcases signature mooncakes: perfect for gifts or self-indulgence

From now until 2 October, Temple Mall North’s 1/F is hosting a limited-time Mid-Autumn speciality market. The mall has curated a selection of mooncakes, unique gift boxes and festive foods from 10 popular brands, perfect for self-indulgence or gifting during the festive season. Apart from traditional mooncakes and snow skin mooncakes, the market boasts Taiwanese mooncakes, Musang King durian mooncakes, cheese fruit mooncakes and classic Teochew mooncakes like lard cakes, among others.
