The Origin and Meaning of the Mid-Autumn Festival
The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon-Gazing Festival, originates from the wet rice civilization of the Vietnamese people. It is not only an occasion for adults to thank the heavens for a bountiful harvest but also a festival for children. According to legend, this is the day when Uncle Cuoi and Sister Hang on the moon look down to play with the children on Earth.
Today, the Mid-Autumn Festival carries a deep meaning of reunion. It is a time for family members to gather, share a feast, enjoy tea, and gaze at the moon together.

The Mid-Autumn Festival usually falls in September or October. This is one of the most beautiful times of the year in Nha Trang. The weather is dry with golden sunshine, clear blue seas, and little rain. This perfect weather is ideal for outdoor activities and enjoying a complete vacation.
