September is almost here, and that means it’s nearly the end of the autumn harvest. As we give our thanks to the gods, one thing that shouldn’t be missing in every Mid-Autumn Festival celebration is mooncakes. This sweet delicacy is traditionally made with a red bean or lotus seed paste filling, but many flavours have appeared over the years. Not only that, but their packaging has become fancier as well. If you like your mooncakes to come in beautiful packaging (which you can recycle by the way!), you might want to check out the wide selection of these well-known hotels.
