In China, preparations for the annual Mid-Autumn Festival are in full swing, as families gather to celebrate one of the most significant cultural events of the year.
The festival is marked by the tradition of eating mooncakes, a delicacy made with lotus seed paste, red bean, and salted egg yolk.
Cities across the country are decorated with lanterns, and public parks host performances showcasing traditional Chinese music and dance.
The Mid-Autumn Festival holds symbolic meaning, representing unity, prosperity, and family reunion.
This year, authorities are emphasizing eco-friendly celebrations, encouraging citizens to minimize waste and reuse materials during the festivities.
With travel restrictions easing, many people are taking the opportunity to visit relatives they haven’t seen in years due to the pandemic.
