Lee Kum Kee Lantern Wonderland 2012
by admin on September 27, 2012
In 2012, the Lee Kum Kee Lantern Wonderland once again serves as the heart of the celebrations with another award-winning lantern structure, which this time brings to life the passion of Chinese Mid-Autumn mythology in a dynamic and innovative visual rendering.
This centrepiece attraction, featuring an LED light and sound show, is called Golden Moon, gold being associated with the colours of autumn and good fortune. Standing approximatey 18 metres tall and 21 metres wide, the structure is constructed of bamboo, steel, stretch fabric and LED lights.
Golden Moon sits in a pool with dozens of floating Chinese lanterns. Inside the structure, you can experience a variety of lighting effects from suspended Chinese lanterns.
Golden Moon is the result of a design competition organised by the Hong Kong Tourism Board, and supported by the Hong Kong Ambassadors of Design, the Hong Kong Designers Association and The Hong Kong Institute of Architects.

Lee Kum Kee Lantern Wonderland
by admin on September 7, 2011
As the highlight of “Hong Kong Mid-Autumn Festival”, the “Lee Kum Kee Lantern Wonderland” is entirely sponsored by Lee Kum Kee in its production cost. Its centrepiece – a record-breaking fish-shape sculpture made from over a thousand traditional Chinese lanterns – measures 37 metres long, 9.6 metres wide and 13 metres tall. The design concept was selected through a design competition organised by the HKTB in collaboration with Hong Kong Ambassadors of Design, Hong Kong Designers Association and Hong Kong Institute of Architects, and is inspired by the traditional goldfish lantern. The lively fish suggests that Hong Kong, as vibrant Asia’s World City, offers myriads world-class dining and entertainment experiences to visitors.
Built by Hong Kong’s own bamboo scaffolding technique and surrounded by small fish lanterns, the mega fish is perfect for photo-taking from afar.
