On this day, we spend time with our friends and family, and eat moon cakes! (月饼 yuè bǐng)

The date of the Mid-Autumn Festival is based on the lunar calender; it is the day with the biggest full moon of the year, and takes place in September or October.
So to all my readers and their friends and families, I'm wishing you a happy Mid-Autumn Festival! Or as we say in China, 中秋节快乐 (zhōng qiū jié kuài lè)!
I love moon cakes! Omnomnom. My RA in undergrad was from China so we had a hall moon festival celebration every year. It was awesome! :)
