Hi all,
Hope everyone's doing good. Last week in China was both Middle Autumn Festival and National Holiday, which together lasted from September 30th to October 3rd. Middle Autumn Festival lasts for one day and is a full moon festival based on the Chinese Lunar Calendar. On this day, Chinese people usually eat 'mooncakes', give and receive them as gifts and watch the full moon with their friends and relatives. I went travelling with my friend, ...
The Factory Visit
As I mentioned in the last post, we had arranged to go and see the factory where the parts of the pagoda were manufactured. The boss would be there at nine to take us for a visit.
