The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival, is a traditional festival celebrated in Chinese culture since the Tang Dynasty (618 to 907). For Hong Kong residents, this annual festival brings family, relatives, and friends together to celebrate and enjoy traditional food—especially the moon cakes. 

Our Epoch reporters went to Blue House Cluster to explore the festival lanterns and share them with our readers and Hongkongers around the world, as they are a significant part of Chinese culture.
