Mid-Autumn Lights

Moving past the typical experience of going to Victoria Park to see the light show (see last year's post on mid-autumn festival here), I had a mid-autumn celebration in the remote Tuen Mun, Butterfly Beach Park. It took an hour and a half of travel from Clear Water Bay, Kowloon but it was worth it to spend some time with my WBT family. We had a Hong Kong style bbq:

And played with lanterns and candles (a first time for me):
Glowsticks/glow bracelets are also common during this celebration:

All in all, my second year here started nicely. I'm reminded that I have a lot of caring friends in Hong Kong and a place is only as good as the people in it. :)

Love,
Andrea

ps. I love mooncakes!!
