When the harvest moon is full and bright, Hong Kong lights up for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Thousands of lanterns in every shape, size and colour fill public parks - head up to Victoria Peak for the festival's most spectacular views.

The festival is an ancient Chinese tradition which commemorates China's 14th-century uprising against Mongolian occupation. Rebels wrote the call to revolt on pieces of paper and embedded them in cakes which they smuggled to compatriots. Today, in honour of this, people eat special yuek beng (moon cakes) - pastry crust filled with sugary fillings like lotus seed paste or red bean paste.
