Celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival ?in China(video)

On every fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month, people all over China will be getting together to eat with their families, look at the moon and celebrate the Mid-Autumn festival. The Mid-Autumn day is one of the biggest festivals in the Chinese lunar calendar. It’s a time for homecoming and enjoying moon cakes.

This year’s Mid-Autumn Festival falls on September 22. To help foreigners know more about Chinese culture and make them feel at home during the traditional Chinese festival, China Daily invited expatriates working or studying in Beijing to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together.

During the celebration party, moon cakes were served, Chinese tongue twisters were shared, gifts were presented, and several foreign students even proudly displayed their skill of writing Chinese characters. The party was more like a family reunion than a get-to-know-each-other gathering.
