The Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, which is Sept 15 this year. The festival is celebrated when the moon is believed to be the biggest and fullest.

Symbolic of the mid-autumn season are mooncakes, those round, sweet pastries that reflect the reason for the festivities.

To the Chinese, a full moon is a symbol of prosperity, happiness, and family reunion. But photographers also have found creative ways to display the fun side of a full moon.
