Zhongqiu Festival in Singapore
10/10/10
Zhongqiu (中秋,
literally Mid-Autumn) has always been one of my
favourite festivals since young. It is
celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th month in
the Chinese Lunar Calendar when the
moon is supposedly to be the fullest and
brightest. Family members and friends gather,
enjoy mooncakes and carry colourful
lanterns under the moonlit sky to celebrate the
occasion. Zhongqiu is on 22 Sep this year in the
Gregorian calendar.
