Shops sell a variety of mooncakes which are offered to the moon fairy. The cakes are exchanged as gifts among relatives and friends during this month. Children would light colourful lanterns in the shape of animals or other objects during the night. In many parts of Malaysia a lantern procession or display is held to mark this day. |
