Mid-Autumn Festival has always been a fun-packed adventure in Malaysia, filled with activities and many things to see and do. And this year, it will be no exception!

Taking place on the 24^th September, this festival is something you should definitely look forward to. If you are in Kuala Lumpur, you will be at the height of the celebrations, surrounded by a warm community attending the Lantern Carnival. Prepare to be dazzled by the energetic dragon and lion dances, and a beautiful parade of floats upon which there will be the Moon Goddess, Chang E, and the legendary seven maidens. You will be among the crowd cheering on spectacular performances by music artists.

It is also a custom of the Chinese to offer prayers at the Thean Hou Temple in Kuala Lumpur, one of the oldest and largest temples in Southeast Asia. The temple has six tiers and is intricately decorated with precise carvings and beautiful murals. It is known to be the temple of the Goddess of Heaven, Tian Hou, who protects fishermen out at sea.

If you are in Penang, enjoy the stunning view of lanterns at George Town where you can see the River of Lights lantern parade. For more action, you can also head to Straits Quay Square and watch lion and dragon dances as well as the Wushu Competition. After enjoying the abundance of mooncakes and treats, you may wish to take a Night Lantern Walk in Penang Hill and get a panoramic view of the city.
