Mid-Autumn Festival
2017
Held
on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month, this 3,500 year old tradition is
devoted to reunions and is held to worship the moon. As well as celebrating a
year’s harvest and praying for another year of bountiful harvest. But nowadays
we use this opportunity to show our elder’s respect by giving them these
Mooncakes as a sign of our filial.
Below are some of my top Mooncake picks.
