Each with their unique design and personal story, Kwai Chai Hong will be displaying 8 bunnies that will appear to greet everyone between 7 pm to midnight, starting 18 September until 4 October only!

But remember, if you do come to the gallery, please DO NOT touch any of the art installations!

Kwai Chai Hong shared on their official Instagram page, a photo of people sitting on the bunnies to take pictures… which they really shouldn’t be doing.

Alamak guys... PLEASE PLEASE don't do this to the poor Jade Rabbits. Just appreciate them with ur eyes and your heart... no need to touch, move, pinch, step, sit, or ride on them. We did up this installation so that everyone can understand and enjoy the spirit of Mid-Autumn Festival. Please help us respect and take care of the art installation for everyone. Else we won't have anything beautiful to share anymore. 😓 If you guys see anyone abusing our installation, you can sure help us by stopping them on our behalf. If everyone can lift a helping hand, I'm sure we can continue to have more beautiful things to share to more people!! #kwaichaihong #KCHMidAutumn #kch #petalingstreet #kakitravel #artunitesus #putyourmaskon #HopsAndDreams #cuticutimalaysia

In the post, they said: “PLEASE PLEASE don’t do this to the poor Jade Rabbits. Just appreciate them with your eyes and your heart… no need to touch, move, pinch, step, sit or ride on them.”

“We did this installation so that everyone can understand and enjoy the spirit of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Please help us respect and take care of the art installation for everyone. Else we won’t have anything beautiful to share anymore,” they added.

One of the installation pieces was broken by visitors in their bid to get that perfect Instagram photo. Kwai Chai Hong shared the photo on their Instagram page with the caption: “Fragile. Please do not touch the art”
