Dating back 3,000 years to Zhou Dynasty in China, this moon gazing and lantern parading was celebrated in honour of Chang Er, the beautiful wife of tyrannical ruler and archer Hou Yi. Her boldness in saving the villagers by drinking the elixir of life has made her a legend to be remembered through all generation.
The highlight will be a lantern procession full of colorful lanterns in various shapes and sizes. Tourists should not miss the opportunity to savor a tasty mooncake, which are baked specially for this occasion.
