Guess lantern riddles
Lanterns: Lanterns are another important symbol of the Mid-Autumn Festival. People, especially children, carry lanterns of various shapes and designs, often depicting animals, flowers, or traditional symbols. The lanterns are lit up and paraded around parks or streets, creating a festive atmosphere.
Write calligraphy and poem
Poetry and Riddles: Reciting poetry and solving riddles are also traditional activities during the Mid-Autumn Festival. People gather to appreciate and recite classical poems, and riddles are written on lanterns or posted in public places for others to solve.
Mooncakes: One of the most iconic traditions of the Mid-Autumn Festival is the sharing and eating of mooncakes. These are round pastries filled with sweet fillings like lotus seed paste, red bean paste, or salted egg yolks. They often have intricate designs on the top and are exchanged as gifts among family members, friends, and business associates.

In the Batik Introduction Handkerchief Painting workshop, participants will learn the traditional art of batik, a wax-resist dyeing technique originating from Indonesia. The workshop begins with a brief history and overview of batik, highlighting its cultural significance and various techniques. Participants will then observe a demonstration of applying wax with tjanting tools and dyeing the fabric. Following the demonstration, each participant will design and create their own batik handkerchief, applying wax to create patterns and then dyeing their fabric.
