It's said that the moon today is the roundest and biggest in a year. It's also a day for family to get-together.

Cheers to the moon!

People get home with their family members, watch the beautiful full moon while eating moon-cakes. Because the moon is round, it's a symbol of Getting around and being together.
In the ancient time people did much more ritual preying to the moon for a better life. and there is also a traditional myth tale about the origin of the festival, which you can find out in Wiki if you are interested.

nowadays mooncakes are made very fashionably and adorable. Traditional moon cakes are made in round shape just like the moon with sweet stuffing inside, such as sweetened bean paste,lotus seed paste,dates and so on.

Autumn is different in each place of China. you know China is such a big country. They have red Maple Leaf in Beijing while we have autumn still like summer in Amoy City. =v= LOL but I like persimmons in Autumn, a typical autumn fruit.
