The Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival is just around the corner and organizers of festivities in Hong Kong are getting ready. Lanterns light the pathways of Victoria Park and this year a special lantern is set on the water.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is also called the Moon Festival. It falls on the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the Chinese lunar calendar. This year, that's September 30th. The holiday is based on a love story between an earth bound mortal and a celestial maiden who lives on the moon.
The architects of this year's winning lantern design were inspired by this folk tale.
