▲ What do people do during the Mid-Autumn Festival?
While modern celebrations have evolved, people still honor many traditional customs:
▼ Mooncake sharing
The round pastries filled with lotus seed paste, egg yolks or red bean represent reunion. People give mooncakes as gifts to relatives and friends.
▼ Lantern lighting
Children carry glowing lanterns of various shapes, creating a magical night scene. In some regions, lantern riddles add a playful element to the evening.
▼ Moon appreciation
Families gather outdoors or on rooftops to admire the full moon — believed to be at its brightest and most beautiful on this night.
