The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival, or in Chinese, Zhongqiu Jie (traditional Chinese: 中秋節), is a popular harvest festival celebrated by Chinese people, Japanese people (Tsukimi festival in Japanese), Koreans (Chuseok festival in Korean), and Vietnamese people (even though they celebrate it differently), dating back over 3,000 years to moon worship in China's Shang Dynasty. It was first called Zhongqiu Jie (literally "Mid-Autumn Festival") in the Zhou Dynasty. In Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines, it is also sometimes referred to as the Lantern Festival or Mooncake Festival.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is held on the 15th day of the eighth month in the Chinese calendar, which is usually around late September or early October in the Gregorian calendar. It is a date that parallels the autumn and spring Equinoxes of the solar calendar, when the moon is supposedly at its fullest and roundest. The traditional food of this festival is the mooncake, of which there are many different varieties.

This year is the second year that the Chinese government has granted workers a day off for the traditional festival. The holiday falls on May 28 but an extension day off will be granted to some on May 29. Folks will start getting things ready to make zongzi, a traditional snack made of sticky rice steamed inside a bamboo leaf. Chinese people eat zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival as commemoration to the legend behind the festival.

There are small celebrations on the mainland, but Hong Kong is a great place to take part in Dragon Boat Festival activities. Read more about the festival in Hong Kong from Hong Kong Guide, Rory Boland.
