Traditional Festival

Every country has their own traditional festival. Both Hong Kong and China will celebrate an old and traditional festival called the Mid-Autumn Festival. It originates from an ancient legend in China. In the past, people usually celebrate this festival by eating mooncake while enjoying the moon. Nowadays, it becomes more important since people take this as a chance to gather all the household and have a family reunion. Beside this, some of the traditional habit or food changed over the years. A modern mooncake called icy mooncake has introduced to the society. As it is very popular, some people start using icy mooncake to replace traditional mooncake. Nevertheless, children usually play colored lantern instead of paper lantern. This is because paper lantern is light up by fire and colored lantern is light up by battery. Therefore, it is safer for children to play with colored lantern.
