Otherwise known as Moon Festival, Mooncake Festival,  Lantern Festival or \u00e4\u00b8\u00ad\u00e7\u00a7\u2039\u00e8\u0160\u201a (pinyin: zh\u00c5\u008dngqi\u00c5\u00abji\u00c3\u00a9), Chinese family members and friends will traditionally gather to admire the bright mid-autumn harvest moon, and eat moon cakes and pomeloes together. Children join in the festivities by carrying brightly-lit lanterns &#8212; I remember the traditional candle-lit ones that Grandma used to buy us, which in my opinion, was much more fun to play with (especially if they caught fire! :P) compared to the battery-lit ones of today. As part of the celebrations, the Chinese Gardens in Singapore has put up impressive display of large lanterns to lure in the crowd. I was there over the weekend with Mum and CY to soak in the festivities (as well as to take some pictures). <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/engloy\/photoblog\/wp-content\/photos\/thumb_20070923_0083.jpg\" width=\"90\" height=\"130\" alt=\"Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!\" \/>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[14,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-388","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-expression","category-nightscenes","entry"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/przUn-6g","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/engloy\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/388","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/engloy\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/engloy\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/engloy\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/engloy\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=388"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/engloy\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/388\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/engloy\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=388"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/engloy\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=388"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/engloy\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=388"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
