Held this year from 14 to 22 September, the city's most spectacular festival bathes the landscape in a glow of colour, as lanterns of all shapes and sizes, fiery dragon dances and mooncakes combine to create an enchanting fairytale land.
These small but dense cakes filled with lotus paste and a whole egg-yolk centre symbolise the full moon, and it is the accepted practice to share a cake with friends, family and colleagues.
