Mid-Autumn Festival Theme Lantern — Moon Palace Tower Display with Chang’e, Rabbit & Moon Cake

Capture the magic of the Mid-Autumn Festival (中秋节, Zhōngqiū Jié) with our signature Moon Palace tower lantern. This multi-tier architectural display brings to life the legendary Moon Palace — home of the moon goddess Chang’e and the jade rabbit who eternally pounds the elixir of immortality.

The tower-style design features:

• Top Tier — The radiant moon with Chang’e silhouette and the jade rabbit
• Middle Tier — Traditional Chinese palace architecture with curved roofs, lanterns, and cloud motifs
• Base Tier — Auspicious symbols including osmanthus flowers, moon cakes, tea ceremonies, and family reunion scenes
• Atmospheric Lighting — Warm golden tones throughout, with the moon glowing brilliantly at the top

This is the flagship display of our Mid-Autumn collection — ideal for:

• Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations
• Asian cultural festivals
• Chinese communities’ annual gatherings
• Theme park seasonal overlays

Unlike single-piece lanterns, this is a complete storytelling installation that visitors can walk around and admire from multiple angles. The vertical tower structure makes it perfect for courtyards, plazas, and atrium displays.

FAQ

What is the Mid-Autumn Festival lantern?
The Mid-Autumn Festival lantern is an illuminated sculpture traditionally displayed during the Mid-Autumn Festival (15th day of the 8th lunar month) to celebrate family reunion, the harvest moon, and traditional Chinese mythology. Modern Mid-Autumn lanterns often feature the moon goddess Chang’e, the jade rabbit, and moon cake imagery.

What is the Moon Palace legend?
According to Chinese mythology, Chang’e is the moon goddess who lives in the Moon Palace (广寒宫) with the jade rabbit. The rabbit eternally pounds the elixir of immortality. The Mid-Autumn Festival celebrates Chang’e and the full harvest moon, when families gather to admire the moon and eat moon cakes together.

What size is the tower?
Standard tower heights range from 6m to 15m. The most popular size for plaza installations is 8-10m, which provides strong visual impact while remaining photographable from human eye level.

Can the design be customized?
Yes. Common customizations include:

• Adding or removing tiers (2-5 tiers available)
• Custom characters (specific deities, your mascots)
• Brand colors and logo integration
• Custom moon cake or tea ceremony scenes
• Regional cultural elements

Is this suitable for shopping malls?
Absolutely. The tower design works beautifully in mall atriums and large entryways. The vertical orientation maximizes impact in space-constrained indoor venues.

Can it be used for Chinese New Year too?
Yes! This style works well for both Mid-Autumn and Chinese New Year with simple color changes (red/gold for New Year, golden/white for Mid-Autumn). We can also create a “dual-festival” version that transitions between themes.

What is the lead time?
Standard production takes 4-5 weeks. Custom designs with multiple character additions may take 5-6 weeks.

Do you offer on-site installation?
Yes. Our experienced installation team can handle towers up to 15m on-site. International installation is available for large-scale projects.
