中秋节快乐!

September 25 this year is the 15th day of the 8th lunar month of the Chinese calendar. That is to say, on September 25, today, it's time to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with delicious mooncakes!

The holiday's history dates back to the Xia Dynasty (2070 BC–1600 BCE), when people would gather to celebrate the full moon in honour of the mythical moon goddess Chang'e. Nowadays, people celebrate by eating pomelos and sharing mooncakes with their friends and family.

A little something for everyone:

提灯笼,看月亮,一年又一年。
吃月饼,喝好茶,一杯又一杯。
茶香不变,友谊永不忘。
但愿人不老,千里走一回。
在此祝贺大家渡过一个美丽的中秋!
