The annual mid-autumn festival, or mooncake festival, falls on the 15th day of the 8th month of the Chinese lunar calendar. This is one of the traditional festivals that almost every Chinese person celebrates in the world. It is based on Chinese mythology – the moon goddess, Chang’e. On this day, the moon is believed to be the brightest and roundest of the year. On this day, friends and family typically gather for meals.
Mooncake is a traditional pastry for celebrating the mooncake festival. It is never too early to purchase mooncakes and to gift your loved ones. There are plenty of mooncakes offering early bird discounts now.
