Also known as the Mid-Autumn Festival or the Mooncake Festival,
the Chinese Moon Festival is an important and favorite holiday
for Chinese people around the world.
The Chinese Moon Festival is a joyous time for family, friends,
and couples to reunite under a full moon.
All take a little time to appreciate the beautiful full moon
on hopefully the clearest night of the year.
Bright lanterns are carried, hung high from poles,
and launched into the sky; the sweet smell of burning joss sticks
fills the air as people share traditional mooncakes at night.
