MID-AUTUMN IN STANLEY

September 11, 2014 Hong Kong No Comments

Harvest moon or mid-autumn moon, celebrated universally is also our Lantern Festival. This year 2014 it fell on the 8th September and with threats of partial eclipse.

In Hong Kong the autumn festival is a romantic one. On the night of the full moon adults and children make their way, with lit lanterns, to the mountain peaks or to the beaches to watch the full moon rise.
