Known also the mid-autumn festival which
falls on the 15th day of the eighth Chinese Lunar
Calendar. This is a historical festival rather than a
religious one. It marks the successul rebellion against
the Mongol ruler dated back in 14th century
China. Legend has indicated that the secret about a
plot against the Mongolians was hidden inside the
mooncake and the mooncake was distributed widely.
Lanterns were used at night as signals from higher
grounds and hilltop. Today, this festival is celebrated
with moon cakes and latern hanging on the house. The
lantern and the moon cakes have attracted many children
and adults attention. In certain area, lantern procession
and competition are held.
