In Chinese culture, the round shape stands for unity and togetherness. This is why the full moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival is a special time for families to gather and celebrate. This tradition has been around since the early Tang dynasty (618–907). The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the most important holidays of the year. Even in the busy city of Hong Kong, this festival is celebrated with great enthusiasm. A big part of the celebration is enjoying mooncakes. These delicious treats come in many varieties, from traditional ones with salted egg yolk to modern versions filled with ice cream. For those who love vibrant displays, Hong Kong offers plenty of attractions. The fire dragon dance in Tai Hang is a must-see spectacle. Additionally, beautiful lantern displays can be found all over the city, adding to the festive atmosphere.

Whether you’re enjoying mooncakes with family or admiring the lanterns and dances, the Mid-Autumn Festival is a joyous time in Hong Kong.
