Mid-Autumn Festival,which falls on the 15th day of the eighth month on the traditional Chinese calendar-on September 17 this year,has always been my favorite holiday celebration since I arrived in China in 1993.Even after all these years,it holds a special place in my heart,and each year I eagerly anticipate its arrival.The festival stands apart from other holidays because of its timing-just as the summer heat fades and the crisp,refreshing autumn breeze begins.It's a brief time window when the weather is perfect,allowing people to enjoy outdoor activities before the biting cold of winter sets in.In China,this season invites everyone to embrace the beauty of the outdoors,whether it be taking a stroll in a park or planning a short weekend getaway.
