This looks great! Reading on Wiki, I realised I tried mooncake in EPCOT a few years ago - still not sure if I liked it, lol - the pastry is heavy, like hot water crust on a pork pie... and the filling is a thick paste..... but some lovely activity ideas. :D

harvest festival
does anyone know the correct date for the harvest festival this year please? ive been given 3 different dates for some reason
|
It's officially supposed to be celebrated on the Sunday around the 23rd September (Autumn equinox) which is closest to the full moon (the "Harvest moon")- so by my reckoning, this year it should be celebrated on the full moon of 4th October, although some people just celebrate on the sunday around the 23rd September.
So, I don't know really!!!:banghead: |
