How the Mid-autumn Festival is celebrated in different countries.<\/strong><\/h5>\n

\"\"This year, the Mooncake, or Mid-autumn, Festival falls on 21 September. The festival is observed by ethnic Chinese and Vietnamese around the world. While some of the traditions are similar, there are also interesting regional variations to the festivities.<\/p>\n

TAIWAN<\/strong>
\nIn Taiwan, the festival is widely celebrated with outdoor barbecues. A fairly recent tradition, firing the barbecue has become a favourite way for friends and family to gather together and gaze at the moon. In Taipei, the barbecues are often held at riverside parks during the festival. One of the most popular venues is Dajia Riverside Park.<\/p>\n

VIETNAM<\/strong>
\nThe Mid-autumn Festival is also known as the Children\u2019s Festival in Vietnam. It is viewed as a time for parents to demonstrate their appreciation for their children. Children receive gifts of toys and enjoy cakes, fruit and rice paste moulded in the shape of animals. They parade with lanterns in the form of five-pointed stars like the one on the national flag, or with masks representing animals or\u00a0characters from movies, comic books and anime.\u00a0A variety of literary and artistic activities are also held throughout the country during this period. Adding greater fanfare to the festival are lion dances and dragon boat races.<\/p>\n

THE PHILIPPINES<\/strong>
\nIn the Philippines, Filipino-Chinese celebrate not only with mooncakes and family get-togethers, but also by gambling. Pua tiong-chhiu \u2014 a dice game \u2014 is played for mooncake prizes. The game is said to have originated in China\u2019s Fujian province, where most Filipino-Chinese hail from.<\/p>\n

HONG KONG & MACAU<\/strong>
\nThere are nighttime celebrations throughout Hong Kong and Macau during the festival, the most impressive of which is held in Hong Kong\u2019s Victoria Park. The carnival atmosphere there is revved up by traditional stage shows, palm readings, game stalls, quizzes and more. There is also a fire dragon dance that takes place through the streets of Tai Hang \u2014 that requires more than 300 performers, and lots of firecrackers!<\/p>\n

SINGAPORE
\n<\/strong>In Singapore, the streets of its Chinatown are decked out with pretty lights. Stage shows, pop-up food stalls and traditional activities like fortune telling, Chinese calligraphy and Chinese opera are held. Families celebrate by gorging on mooncakes \u2014 they go on sale about a month before the festival \u2014 and children take part in lantern processions.
