Mid-Autumn Festival

I decided to choose Mid-Autumn Festival for my E-wallpaper.
This is a festival celebrated by Chinese and Vietnamese people.

About Mid-Autumn Festival :
The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival. The Mid-Autumn Festival is held on the 15th day of the eighth month in the Chinese calendar, which is in September or early October in the Gregorian calendar. It is a date that parallels the autumnal equinox of the solar calendar, when the moon is at its fullest and roundest. The traditional food of this festival is the mooncake, of which there are many different varieties.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the few most important holidays in the Chinese calendar.Traditionally on this day, Chinese family members and friends will gather to admire the bright mid-autumn harvest moon, and eat moon cakes and pomelos under the moon together.
