Mid Autumn Barbecue

The Mid Autumn Festival aka Mooncake Festival or Lantern Festival is one of the important day for Chinese. What people do on this day varies among the regions. Besides eating mooncakes (usually serve together with Chinese tea and pomelo) and enjoying the family reunion under the moon light, it comes with some traditional activities such as lighting the lanterns and playing with candles. You can easily find many houses in Malaysia are lighting up with many candlelight around this day. Some organisations might even organise some lantern-making competitions to promote this festive season. In Taiwan, outdoor barbecue is the typical way to celebrate Mid Autumn Festival. You can easily find groups of people gathering at the corridor, road sides, public open space and etc for barbecue.
Since we today is the public holiday, I went for barbecue with my friends. I woke up early in the morning and departed to Keelung by train. After arrived at Keelung Railway Station, we traveled to the destination by taxi. This is the place called 基隆外木山大武崙沙灘.




The scenery there was very beautiful. Even though it was hot and sunny out there, everyone was happy and very active. We spent the whole day there by sea-bathing, barbecuing and playing some games. After cleaning-up, we took the free shuttle bus back to Keelung City for dinner. Some of us were not interested with the crowded and costly night market and we called it a day by traveling back to Taipei by train after dinner.
I got tanned after spending whole day under the sun...
