This event is part of an expat club series organized by INFO Guangdong. Prior to this, the platform launched a variety of colorful activities such as hip-hop competitions and online ticket giveaways for art performances, attracting many expats living in Guangdong to participate.

Bjørn, a Danish attendee, noted that he had some difficulties finding his way around Guangzhou to begin with, but the platform has been very helpful. It's extremely convenient for foreigners.

This cultural event was not merely a festive gathering but also a spectacular cultural feast and a heartwarming celebration of community integration.

As an important festival in China, the Mid-Autumn Festival is a time for family reunions. Chinese people celebrate it by gathering for dinners, worshiping the moon, lighting paper lanterns, and eating mooncakes.
