Happy Mid-Autumn Festival !! (Sept 21, 2021)

It is the second-most important holiday after Chinese New Year with a history dating back over 3,000 years during the Zhou Dynasty when the Emperor of China worshipped the moon for bountiful harvests.

The day is also know as the Moon Festival because at this time of the year the moon is at it’s brightest and fullest.

This festival is celebrated with family and close friends. After a feast, everyone gathers around under the full moon to enjoy mooncakes and other delicacies.
