The Mid-Autumn Festival is an important holiday in China. Most Chinese families celebrate it. It is on 15 August in Chinese lunar calendar. We don’t go to school that day.
Family members get together and then have a big dinner. In the evening we eat different kinds of moon cakes, enjoy the full moon and listen to the story about Chang’e.
I like Mid-Autumn Festival very much. I always have great fun that day.
