Falling on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, the Mid-Autumn Festival has a strong connection to the full moon, which embodies harmony and reunion in Chinese culture.
This year, the "Mid-Autumn Festival moon" will be the largest since 2014, and the craters and seas on the moon will be visible. In Guangdong, where can we admire the perfect full moon and spend a leisurely night? Here are some recommendations for you!

Standing at 382 meters, Moxing Ridge, the highest peak of Baiyun Mountain, is the best place in the scenic area to appreciate the moon. Meanwhile, every year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, a lantern fair will be held at the Yuntai Garden in the Baiyun Mountain Scenic Area. Visitors can enjoy the lanterns and guess riddles while soaking in the glow of the moon.
