Families come together to admire the full moon and enjoy mooncakes. Sept 13 marks one of the most important Chinese holidays, the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Documented as far back as 3,000 years ago, the Mid-Autumn Festival was originally a harvest festival. Widespread celebrations began during the early Tang Dynasty in the 8th century and have continued to this very day.

Getting off on the three-day holiday, family members gather for a grand banquet or a short trip. A broad variety of celebrations are still on nationwide, boasting rich traditions and customs.
