Moon festival

Traditionally, after working hard on the fields, the parents wanted to do something special for their children after harvest. On the 15th day of the 8th month of the moon calendar, when the moon is at its brightest of the year, moon festival is celebrated, with parades and masks, brightly colored lanterns and drums, dragons dancing, all day long, in every neighbourhood and on every street. Of course, we had to go into the Old Quarter to check the real chaos out, too.
