To celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day, we will be on 8 days Holiday starting from September 29 to October 6, and back to work on October 7, 2023.
Below is some interesting information about Mid-Autumn Festival, includes foods and activities.
Mid-Autumn Festival is a reunion day for Chinese people, celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th month of Lunar calendar.
During the festival, all families try their best to go home and enjoy a big feast. In addition to mooncakes, other popular dishes for the reunion dinner include osmanthus cake, osmanthus wine, crab, duck, taro, and pumpkin.
Eating Moon Cakes is the most popular Mid-Autumn Festival activity. Mooncakes are cookies, normally baked by Toaster Oven with various fillings like nuts, red bean paste, lotus root paste, egg yolk, meat, and fruit, etc. They are usually round to symbolize the full moon and family reunion.
Make and Hang Festival Lanterns is an activity favored especially by kids. People also set Kongming lanterns to make best wishes.
May we all be blessed with longevity, though thousands of miles apart, we are still able to share the beauty of the moon together.
(但愿人长久,千里共婵娟)
