The stuffing inside the saccharine pastries generally include pine nuts, walnuts, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, crystal sugar, egg yolk, bean paste, lotus seed, peanuts, almonds, and many other delicacies. Blended together in various combinations, they taste rich but not. During the festival, it is also common for the participant to give moon cakes to their relatives and friends as presents, expressing their love and kind regards.

During the full moon Autumn festival, it will be hard to forget the joyful, excited atmosphere created by the locals celebrating it. The part you do not want to miss in this festival is the Lion-dance.

The Lions express joy, happiness and good luck. The Lion Dance also plays an important role in the consecration of temples and other buildings, during planting and harvesting times, at business openings, official celebrations and religious rites, weddings and even red egg/ginger parties celebrating the birth of a baby.

We are not a great dancer like those who control the lion, but we can always get ourself a Lion head to celebrate the festival.

Apollo 11 transcripts of their conversation:

Houston: Among the large headlines concerning Apollo this morning, there’s one asking that you watch for a lovely girl with a big rabbit. An ancient legend says a beautiful Chinese girl called Chang-o has been living there for 4000 years. It seems she was banished to the Moon because she stole the pill of immortality from her husband. You might also look for her companion, a large Chinese rabbit, who is easy to spot since he is always standing on his hind feet in the shade of a cinnamon tree. The name of the rabbit is not reported. “

Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin: “Okay. We’ll keep a close eye out for the bunny girl.”

That is a Moon Rabbit we are talking about, and it usually reveal itself on Mid- Autumn festival, what out.
