Ever dreamt of a movie scene coming to life? On October 6, 2025, the Chinese mainland pulled off a real-life masterpiece when the Mid-Autumn full moon rose in all its glory 🌕.
In Shanghai, the moon lined up perfectly with the towers of the Yangtze River Bridge, creating a postcard moment that had everyone snapping pics and sharing on social media. It was like the ancient poem 'The bright moon rises over the sea' had jumped off the page and onto our feeds.
Up in Beijing, art and nature teamed up under the same moonlight. First, the moon hovered above the elegant Lian Bridge at the Summer Palace, then drifted over the Temple of Heaven, where the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests gleamed silver in the night. Talk about a scene-stealer! 🏮
Meanwhile, in Dalian, festival-goers got a bonus treat: a "supermoon" that looked extra big and bright. Just after midnight on October 7, someone even captured a bird flying across the glowing orb—a spontaneous moment that felt pure poetry 📸✨.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is all about reunion and reflection, and this year’s lunar show reminded us that one moon can connect countless celebrations. Whether you’re munching on mooncakes with family or just scrolling through stunning snapshots, these moonlit moments brought everyone a little closer. 🎑
One festival, one moon—countless stories waiting to be told.
