    Did you know?

    Uncover the hidden stories and cherished traditions that make the Mid-Autumn Festival special around the world.

    A myth of love and sacrifice

    The tale of Chang'e and the Jade Rabbit

    The Moon Goddess, Chang'e, ascended to the moon after drinking an elixir of immortality to keep it from evil hands, where she now lives in solitude, remembered during the Mid-Autumn Festival as we all share the same moon.

    Her only companion is the Jade Rabbit, a symbol of selflessness, who was sent to the moon after sacrificing itself. Now, the Jade Rabbit tirelessly pounds herbs, preparing the potion of immortality.

    Symbols of unity, light and hope

    The origin of mooncakes and lanterns

    Mooncakes, central to the Mid-Autumn Festival, symbolise unity and togetherness. Their origins date back to the Ming dynasty, when they were used to conceal secret messages that helped unite people during a historical event.

    Lanterns, another iconic symbol, represent light, hope, and guidance, illuminating the night as families come together to celebrate under the full moon, sharing these traditions that embody the spirit of reunion.

    Hong Kong

    The fire dragon dance and festive lanterns

    In Hong Kong, the Mid-Autumn Festival is celebrated with the spectacular Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance, a tradition dating back over a century.

    This dramatic performance, accompanied by drums and firecrackers, is a highlight of the festival. The city’s parks and public spaces are also adorned with vibrant lantern displays, adding to the festive atmosphere.
