Mooncake Festival 2011 Singapore: The Chinese Mid Autumn Festival in China is a fascinating cultural experience. The Mid-Autumn Festival (or Zhongqiu Jie in Chinese) refers to a festival in East Asian and Southeast Asian countries celebrating the end of the autumn harvesting season and honoring the autumn moon.
The Mid Autumn Festival falls on the 15th day of the eighth month in the Chinese calendar, which in the Gregorian calendar is on September 12 this year (2011).
On this day the moon is at its fullest and roundest. This is the reason why the Mid-Autumn Festival is also known as the Moon Festival.
