Over time, it evolved into a festival of many traditions: to give thanks to the moon, pray for better luck, fortune and fertility, and reunite with the family to celebrate and admire the moon in its full glory. Also known as the Moon Festival or Mooncake Festival, this is an occasion for families to reunite and have a good time together. In Hong Kong, that means sharing mooncakes with your loved ones, going moon gazing and enjoying a range of festive events, from lantern carnivals to the Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance.Â
