At 2 pm, the celebration began with a garden tour, during which traditional music, dance, intangible cultural heritage, and classic Mid-Autumn games were displayed. There was folk music and enchanting performances of Tang Dynasty tumbler beauty, featuring tumblers in traditional costumes. Also, attendees experienced how to make mooncakes, paint sugar, practice calligraphy, draw lacquer fans, and appreciate tea, getting closer to traditional craftsmanship. Additionally, six classic Mid-Autumn games - pitch-pot, cuju, dice games, ring toss, gong shooting, and copper coin striking - brought interaction and fun to families.
