Mid-Autumn Festival, one of the most important traditional Chinese festivals, falls on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, Oct 1 this year. The day is also known as the Moon Festival, as at that time of the year the moon is at its roundest and brightest. It is an evening celebration where families gather together to light lanterns, eat mooncakes and appreciate the round moon – a symbol for family reunion.

Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations date back more than 2,000 years. The word "Mid-Autumn" first appeared in the famous ancient book, Zhou Li, a book revealing the rituals in the Zhou Dynasty (c.11th century-771 BC). In 2006, the festival was listed as intangible cultural heritage.

And this year, our National Day and the Mid-Autumn Festival is on the same day. On these wonderful days, we would like to share our happiness. No matter where you are, wish all of you a happy life.
