With many Chinese holidays there are special foods often given as gifts or eaten together with friends and family, and the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival is no exception.
Dating back thousands of years ago, mooncakes are a staple snack eaten to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. A time to visit loved ones, mooncakes are generally made round to symbolize the full moon and a time for family reunion.
Recently, People’s Daily Online host Emily Holder came down to a bakery to learn how to make mooncakes, sending her best wishes to everyone for the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival.
