September 18th this year is Mid-Autumn Festival centered around the full moon. Because the celebration is about the moon, everything moon-shaped is used to celebrate this occasion. Though the people say it is about the moon, it seems that it is rather about the moon-shaped cake. Every street is lined with people selling boxes of mooncakes (very dense biscuits with a wide assortment of fillings). It is tradition to give mooncakes to people for this holiday and then you give away the ones you get. I really wonder how many billion mooncakes are bought and given during the month of September, and how many are thrown away uneated. This picture is in the market, selling individually wrapped mooncakes.
