We’re all looking forward to a hard-earned break during the week-long National Day holiday, which comes around at the month’s end, but there’s one more holiday to get through before that! From September 13-15, China takes a long weekend to stuff itself silly with mooncakes and celebrate Mid-Autumn Day in all its full-mooned glory, so for this issue, we take a look into the festival’s origins and evolution over the past few millennia. If you don’t spend the whole holiday bingeing on mooncakes, you’ll want to check out some of the many great events happening this weekend – as always, you’ll find all the info you need in agenda’s Day-by-Day listings. Aside from the Mid-Autumn festivities, we talk to Miao Wong from techno crew Acupuncture Records about the gang’s first anniversary party on September 30 at The Star Live, get some TCM tips from doctor Shen Caiping, and chat with multi-tasking restaurateur Gassano Barhoumeh of Middle Eastern eatery Za’atar. With autumn approaching, we profile some lakeside attractions perfect for the milder weather, and in Try These, we lift the lid on new openings like Drei Kronen 1308, Stadium and The Opposite House.
