Hong Kong Activity | Mooncake Festival
Mid Autumn is just around the corner! The celebration marks the end of the autumn harvest and was traditionally a time to give thanks to the gods. It is also a time of year that the moon is at its brightest. This Hong Kong activity is the time where families get together eating dinner, sharing mooncakes, worshiping the moon with gifts, displaying lanterns, and do other activities.
As the Pandemic hits the world, there has been a huge change in how people celebrate the festival. As the quarantine and restriction prevented families to be together, the rise of online celebrations became more frequent. Thanks to technology, people were still able to see each other and celebrate during this very important tradition.
