Kneeling down before "Lao-tzu," burning incense sticks as a sacrifice to the "god of wealth," learning traditional Chinese instrumental music … These are the ways that several dozens of foreign expats in Shaanxi from the United States, Australia, South Korea, and other countries experienced Chinese culture at Louguantai in Zhouzhi County, Shaanxi Province, one of the sacred places of Taoism. They prayed for happiness for family and friends in the traditional Chinese way.

In recent years, more and more foreigners are coming to Shaanxi to learn, live, and settle down. For those who have traveled thousands of miles to be in Shaanxi and live the same way as its people do, the Mid-Autumn Festival is also an occasion for them to miss their loved ones at home.
