My Favorite Festival
My favorite Chinese festival is the Mid-Autumn festival. It's one of the most important festivals. It is on lunar August 15th.
On that day, people often admire the bright and round moon. They also share mooncakes with their families. Mooncakes are in the shape of a full moon on Mid-Autumn night. They carry people's wishes to the families they love and miss. There are many traditional stories about this festival, but I think the story of Chang’e is the most touching.
I like the Mid-Autumn Festival. Because on that day families get together. We can feel the love from our family members. What a great festival!
