This Mid-Autumn, One Central Macau invites you into an enchanting world inspired by the city’s rich heritage, where illuminated artistry, interactive encounters and rewarding surprises bring the autumn holidays to life.
At One Central Macau, Moonlight Garden casts the surroundings in an alluring new light. Created with local visual artist Vitorino Vong and contemporary calligrapher Amy Lam Hoi Leng, the installation unites Vitorino’s evocative realism with Amy’s graceful Chinese calligraphy in a distinctive dialogue between East and West. Amid suspended clouds, jade rabbits and lanterns, paper-cut silhouettes of local landmarks carry wishes for romance, prosperity, family harmony and wellbeing. A magnificent full moon sets the scene for shadow-puppet photos, while a digital lantern display allows guests to send personal blessings across the screen.
The Moonlight Garden unfolds across three installations, each inspired by the city’s iconic landmarks, imbued with auspicious wishes for the festive season. At the heart of One Central Macau, the Atrium transforms into the Moonlight Garden, anchored by four interactive Wishing Pillars inspired by beloved Macau landmarks – Penha Hill for love, Nam Van Lake for prosperity, A-Ma Temple for family, and Lou Lim Ieoc Garden for health. Above, suspended lanterns drift like stars, alongside floating clouds, while jade rabbits cast a gentle, ethereal light across the Atrium. At the touch of a button, each Wishing Pillar comes alive in harmony with the lanterns above, pulsing gently in a synchronised breathing light effect. The immersive interplay of light and artistry invites visitors to step into a poetic Mid-Autumn landscape, where every wish becomes part of the experience.
Visitors can also continue their journey to Moonlit Wishes on the ground floor, and are invited to scan a QR code and send a personalised blessing, which appears as lantern on the digital screen alongside wishes from fellow visitors. Shoppers with any spending requirement can also redeem a token for the Mid-Autumn Fortune Card dispenser, revealing a personalised fortune and festive surprise.
Along the Waterfront Promenade, the Moonlight Lantern presents a series of illuminated outdoor lanterns, where Amy’s original verses meet Vitorino’s visual interpretations in a poetic tribute to Macau.
