I was able to head down to Victoria Park near our apartment tonight to see lanterns and lights as part of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The festival falls on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, which is a full moon. This corresponds to this day on this year according to the Gregorian Calendar.
I’ve always known it as ‘Moon Cake Day’ as this was when as children we used to eat ‘mooncakes’ which are rich pastry cakes typically filled with sweet-bean or lotus-seed paste.
