Description
Whether you are interested in Chinese culture or simply desire to learn more about China, there are 3 festivals you need to experience – Chinese New Year, the Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Day.
The Mid-Autumn Festival dates back over 1000 years when ancient Chinese people gave thanks to the dragon that brought the rain for harvest and prayed for prosperity in the coming year during the first full moon of autumn.
Nowadays it’s one of the most widely celebrated Chinese festivals in China and the Chinese community worldwide. It holds a special place in Chinese people’s hearts, especially those far away from home, as the family reunion is the core sentiment behind this festival.
The Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th day of the eighth month on the Chinese lunar calendar, which is 13th September in 2019. Join our celebration on the 4th September and experience this fascinating festival!
