A Mid-Autumn Garden of Paradise @ Cheras LeisureMall

A Mid-Autumn Garden of Paradise @ Cheras LeisureMall


Mid-autumn season is alive and well over at Cheras LeisureMall, which I can attest to as I was there last week. Themed “A Mid-Autumn Garden of Paradise”, the overall mall décor is inspired by the Jade Rabbit, an important folklore character of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and includes the display of rabbit lanterns to transform Cheras LeisureMall into a bunny haven! Check out all the pictures I took!

The transformation is made possible by the hundreds of lanterns created by participants of the lantern-making competitions, “Creative Lantern Art Contest” and “Jade Rabbit Creative Lantern-making Contest”. These are annual events organised by Cheras LeisureMall which have received enthusiastic response from the public throughout the years, and this time round, a total of RM96,000 worth of prizes are up for grabs!

These entries will be judged by a panel of illustrious judges at the launching ceremony which I had the opportunity to attend, based on creativity, craftsmanship and final finishing, lighting effect, eco-friendly aspect, material selection, theme proximity, and overall presentation of the lantern.
