Chinese people typically send mooncakes to each other every Mid-Autumn Festival, hence it is often called the Mooncake Festival.

Mooncakes are associated with the moon, which is at its fullest and brightest during this time of the year. The round shape of a mooncake symbolizes a full moon, which is considered to be a symbol of harmony and prosperity. It also represents completeness and unity like the reunion of families and loved ones during the festival.
Mid-Autumn Festival is a time for people to come together and appreciate the blessings in their lives. Eating mooncakes during the festival is a way to celebrate the value of family and friendship.
Mooncakes come in many flavors and fillings, often either sweet or salty. The most common is the traditional Cantonese-style baked mooncake. In Yichang, you can often find mooncakes filled with orange ingredients. Known as “the city of oranges,” Yichang has established a strong reputation for its distinctive orange mooncake.
