Moon festival is in the autumn, usually September or early to mid October.

I like moon cakes too-- especially the new "fruit" ones (I had strawberry-- yum!). But I don't like the egg yolk in the middle! I pick it out and throw it away.

Some friends in China told me that a lot of people don't actually LIKE mooncakes that much-- but they eat them anyway. Funny!


All the best, and Merry Christmas--

hi, i am chinese girl,let's me tell you something about our moon festival!

Chinese moon festival is on the 15th of the 8th lunar month, it's also known as the Mid-autumn festival. chinese culture is deeply imbedded in traditional festivals,Just likeChristmas and Thanksgiving in the West, the Moon Festival is one of the most important traditional events for the Chinese.

The Moon Festival is full of legendary stories. Legend says that Chang Er flew to the moon, where she has lived ever since. You might see her dancing on the moon during the Moon Festival. The Moon Festival is also an occasion for family reunions. When the full moon rises, families get together to watch the full moon, eat moon cakes, and sing moon poems. With the full moon, the legend, the family and the poems, you can't help thinking that this is really a perfect world. That is why the Chinese are so fond of the Moon Festival.

The Moon Festival is also a romantic one. A perfect night for the festival is if it is a quiet night without a silk of cloud and with a little mild breeze from the sea. Lovers spend such a romatic night together tasting the delicious moon cake with some wine while watching the full moon. Even for a couple who can't be together, they can still enjoy the night by watching the moon at the same time so it seems that they are together at that hour. A great number of poetry has been devoted to this romantic festival. Hope the Moon Festival will bring you happiness.
