During the Mid-Autumn Festival, a full moon will appear. According to Chinese beliefs, the full moon is a symbol for family reunion. Hence, this is the period where families will gather to admire and appreciate the full moon together.

It is a norm to see families (especially kids) carrying and running around with colourful lanterns in different shapes and sizes, resembling animals, plants, or flowers during this season. As lanterns symbolise light, this activity creates a bright and festive atmosphere, making Mid-Autumn Festival a very happy event for families to bond and make memories.
