An Autumn Retreat @ A Celebration of Unity at Sunway Velocity Mall

The Mid-Autumn is just around the corner.
This is the opportune time for families and friends to gather together to enjoy mooncakes, have a good chat, play with lanterns and appreciate a bright moon.
In conjunction with annual Mooncake Festival, Sunway Velocity Mall is holding their celebration at the shopping mall for visitors, with special campaign, "An Autumn Retreat" happening from 21st August to 13th September 2019.
Like in many festivals, Sunway Velocity Mall hopes "An Autumn Retreat" to bring families and friends together through the many exciting activities and fun workshops as well as various mooncake vendors that are gathered for this campaign.







Located at the Main Atrium of the mall, the place was fully embellished with yellow and golden hues to resemble the bright, round mood for this Mid-Autumn festival.
It's also furnished with elements of Mid-Autumn such as lanterns and bamboo to replicate the vibe of a traditional Chinese market.
The decoration for this year was inspired by the simple idea of taking a step back into the past and going back to nature, in a celebration of the full moon accompanied by lanterns, food and most importantly, loved ones.







Mooncakes are a significant element during the Mid-Autumn festival.
The round shape of the mooncake represents unity and family reunion and characters like "longevity" and "happiness" are imprinted on the top of the mooncake.
There are endless mooncake options to choose from; from the selection of traditional baked mooncakes to snow skin mooncakes and even ice cream mooncakes.
At Sunway Velocity Mall, you can find many booths selling variety of mooncakes, from like Grand Imperial, Overseas, Pullman Hotel, Haagen Daaz, Tai Thong and Inside Scoop.



Durian mooncakes, my favourite!
Not only that, there's also a wide range of halal mooncakes too!



While shopping for your mooncakes at the mall, you can also shop for lanterns, desserts and more to complete your Mid-Autumn celebration with your loved ones.



Sunway Velocity Mall also organized many performances and workshops for kids, like Mooncake Making Workshop, paper flower workshops, WuShu Performances, Chinese diabolo, and Chinese Orchestra.
On top of that, they also organized Mooncake Eating Contests to bring food and hearty laughter to the mall.
