Colourful lanterns are lighting up Hong Kong’s Victoria Park to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. The displays, which include a six-metre (20ft) high merry-go-round lantern and animal installations, will illuminate nightly from 6.30-11pm until September 22, 2021. Celebrated on the 15th day of the eighth month in the lunar calendar, the Mid-Autumn Festival traditionally was a time to mark the autumn harvest, and today remains an important day for reunions with family and friends.

Yes very it´s very nice in HKK, everyone´s so happy, South China Morning Post.
Still there´s been a lot of more, let´s say, serious things going on here recently, but we shouldn´t bother with that, should we? And yes, the lanterns up there are so nice....

Beautiful. Is it celebrated the same way in mainland?

The lack of Hanfu is pretty disappointing, Hong Kong should follow the mainland's trend when it comes to wearing Hanfu during holidays.

Great culture and civilisation. Asian should drop culture alien names and religious belief proselytise from the West

Wasn’t Hong Kong basically colonised by the British?
Seems strange to name a park for a sad reminder of another country’s imperialism and disregard for the native culture…
