About event
The Mid-Autumn Festival is an important traditional festival for the Chinese. It originated in China and falls on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month each year. There are customs such as worshiping the moon, admiring the moon, eating moon cakes, appreciating osmanthus flowers, and drinking osmanthus wine. The roundness of the moon is used as a metaphor for people's reunion, expressing the feeling of missing one's hometown and relatives, and praying for a good harvest and happiness. It has become a colorful and precious cultural heritage and one of the four traditional festivals of the Chinese. This year, let us celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival by tasting mooncakes and enjoying an animated film that is full of poetry and creativity, has won high box office and won many awards, and is suitable for the whole family.
