The Mid-Autumn Festival
The Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th day of the eighth month of the Chinese lunar calendar. No matter how far away they are from home, Chinese people try their best to get back for a family reunion on this day.
One special food eaten during the festival is the moon cake. Nowadays, moon cakes represent people’s wishes to reunite during the festival. The Mid-Autumn Festival is a celebration of the harvest at this time of year.
During this holiday, apart from eating moon cakes and admiring the full moon at night and drinking wine to celebrate their lives or toasting to their loved ones far away, different regions have their own customs such as traveling and visiting relatives or friends.
