The Mid-autumn festival is the second most important festival after the Spring Festival to Chinese people. It takes its name from the fact that it is always celebrated in the middle of the autumn season. Every year, when the festival comes people go home from every corner of the country and the world to meet their family and have dinner with them, admire the full moon and eat moon cakes.

2016 Mid-Autumn Festival falls on September 15th. The holiday lasts from September 15th to 17th, three days in total.
