Today is the moon festival celebrated by the Chinese. I took this in Cambodia last night. This is a harvest festival sometimes called the Moon Festival or mooncake festival where people come together as families and eat mooncake to celebrate the moon at its biggest and fullest.
Mid-Autumn Festival is a harvest festival, celebrated in most East Asian countries, such as China, Vietnam and Cambodia. The festival takes places on month 8, day 15 of the Chinese calendar. This yeat it's on September 24th!!
It is the second most important festival in China after Chinese New Year. To the Chinese, the festival means family reunion and peace.
