Things To Do
Commonly known as the Mooncake festival because of the moon-shaped pastries sold during this period, the Mid-Autumn Festival commemorates both the legend of the lady on the moon, Chang’e, and the folk tale of peasants overthrowing a tyrannical government by communicating via hidden messages in mooncakes. Many children go on walks with paper lanterns after dark and the Lantern Festival at the Chinese Gardens showcases many colourful lanterns.
