The Mooncake Festival is approaching soon. It is also called Mid-Autumn Festival which falls on the 15th day of the 8th month in the Chinese Lunar Calendar and it coincides with the Autumn Equinox of the Solar Calendar. The traditional food for this festival is the mooncake which is why it is sometimes called the Mooncake Festival.
During this time, the chinese buy mooncakes to give to each other. Little children go around with lanterns, some candle-lit and large processions also take place that feature the biggest and most beautiful lanterns one might ever seen, in the spirit of unity and goodwill.
