"Don't Look at Me, Look Up"

An ethereal light scene festooned with dozens of coloured LED globes and shiny star-shaped ornaments is forming a glowing canopy for a restful Mid-Autumn stroll.

Bathed in this spectacular lighting, the "Rabbit Pointing at the Sky" (指天兔) (left) and "Rabbit Watching the Moon" (望月兔) (right) seem to speak in unison: "Don't look at me, look at the moon and stars! They're so bright and beautiful!"

"The Idle Chatterers"

As you walk up the slope to Star Street, another gorgeous LED light canopy awaits, with an illuminated full moon dangling in the middle.

As you get closer, you'll discover "Rabbit Pulling a Face" (鬼臉兔) (left) and "Rabbit Unwilling to Go to Work" (不想上班兔) (right), both of whom are sitting together in such a laid-back posture, it's obvious what they're saying: "Why can't we be as free as the moon? I don't want to go to work tomorrow." "Me neither."
