As National Day and the Mid-Autumn Festival join forces, cities across the Chinese mainland have turned into festive hubs for an eight-day celebration.
From vibrant lantern parades weaving through historic alleys to eye-catching panda-themed goodies lining market stalls, each city adds its own flair to the holiday.
In coastal metropolises, fireworks choreograph over rivers and harbours, painting the night sky. Meanwhile, tech-heavy centers have rolled out interactive robotic displays that blend ancient myths with future-forward innovation.
Beyond the shows, families gather under full moons for mooncakes and storytelling, while local restaurants craft fusion menus that nod to classic festival flavours.
Whether you’re a traveler chasing cultural immersion or a digital nomad seeking new adventures, this eight-day stretch offers a unique glimpse into the heart of the Chinese mainland’s festive spirit.
