Culture Insider: How the world celebrates Mid-Autumn Festival

Mid-Autumn Festival is called Tsukimi or Otsukimi (literally means moon-viewing) in Japan. The Tsukimi custom originated from the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival as the tradition of the Chinese festival was introduced to Japan 1,000 years ago. Unlike the Chinese, who eat mooncakes to celebrate the festival, the Japanese usually eat rice dumplings called Tsukimi dango. Besides, people dress in traditional costumes and go to temples to burn incense. [Photo/IC]
