As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, Four Seasons Hotel Jakarta invites guests to experience the elegance of Chinese tradition with its newly launched range of gourmet mooncakes and fortune cakes. The handcrafted treats are presented in a stunning lantern-shaped gift box that lights up from within, symbolizing the warmth and illumination of the autumn season. The design draws inspiration from the serene beauty of nature, reflecting a tradition where one might enjoy mooncakes and tea amidst tranquil landscapes of plum trees and misty mountains.
The Mid-Autumn Festival, a cherished celebration in Chinese culture, is a time to honor the full and bright moon, with mooncakes serving as a symbol of unity and togetherness. Families and friends gather to share these round, luminous treats, light paper lanterns, and admire the glowing night sky.
