Mid-Autumn Festival

The Mid-Autumn Festival, a time-honored tradition in China, falls on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month. This festival celebrates the full moon and symbolizes family unity and togetherness. Moon gazing, a cherished activity, is accompanied by the consumption of mooncakes, a sweet pastry filled with various ingredients. Lanterns, often brightly lit and intricately designed, are also a significant part of the celebrations, adding a festive glow to the night. Fireworks and gatherings with loved ones further enrich the festive atmosphere, making it a cherished occasion for both young and old.
