The Mooncake festival otherwise known as the Mid-Autumn Festival (Simplified Chinese: 中秋节; Traditional Chinese: 中秋節; Pinyin: zhōngqiūjié) or the Lantern Festival is a celebration of abundance and togetherness. It dates back over 3,000 years to China's Zhou Dynasty. The festival falls on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month of the Chinese calendar during which time the moon is at its fullest and brightest. During this festival, mooncake will be served and children carry colourful lanterns at night.
