However, the worship began to be transformed into a full-fledged festival only during the early years of the Tang Dynasty (618 CE – 907 CE). The stories of the origin of the Mooncake Festival are quite a few. However, the ones that have been passed over the generations are the tales connected to Chang’E.\nLegend of Chang'E\nThere are two different tales connected to the Moon Goddess of Immortality, Chang'E. According to Lihui Yang's \"Handbook of Chinese Mythology\", there was an excellent archer in the ancient past, named Hou Yi. He saved the earth and its people from the ten suns that rose and circled the sky together by shooting down nine of them, thus preventing the earth from scorching. This act of bravery led an immortal to admire him and present him with an elixir of immortality. Yi was married to Chang'E and did not wish to be immortal without her, so he handed it to her possession. However, soon after, one of Yi’s apprentices, Peng Meng, learnt of this secret and wished to use the elixir for himself. On the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, he broke into Yi's house in his absence and pestered Chang'E to hand over the elixir to him. To prevent this, Chang'E drank the elixir herself and ascended to the moon. After Yi arrived, he learnt what happened and began a ritual of offering his wife’s favourite fruits and cakes in his yard. Soon, other people found out about the incident and out of sympathy, they also participated in these rites.\nIn an alternate version of the legend, after Hou Yi defeated the nine suns, he was declared king by the people. However, soon after his rule began, he became a tyrannical ruler. To live as an immortal, he asked for an elixir of immortality from Xi Wang Mu. To save the people from the immortal rule of the conceited Yi, Chang'E stole the elixir and drank it herself, following which she flew up to the moon and became the moon goddess. Overcome by spite, Hou Yi died soon after. As an offering to Chang'E for her sacrifice, the people started praising her and displayed cakes and fruits in their gardens and yards. Since then, the Mid-Autumn Festival began to be celebrated.\nLanterns\nLanterns are now synonymous with the Mid-Autumn Festival. Gorgeous paper, cloth, and plastic lanterns are hung outside homes and stores all over Chinatown and the Singapore River. They come in a range of colours and sizes, right from traditional coin-shaped medallions to mythical dragons, lions, butterflies, ducks, and even popular characters from TV shows like Pikachu, Hello Kitty, and SpongeBob SquarePants! They are painted with bright colours and messages of prosperity and are hung from high poles. Lantern painting competitions are held in the streets too; in some competitions, visitors are tasked with finding the answers to riddles written on the lanterns. Wish-making lanterns are set afloat by dewy-eyed couples, in hopes of sealing their romance forever. Flying sky lanterns are sent off into the night sky towards the moon, giving the sky an ethereal, starry glow. The reflection of the lanterns on the waters of the Singapore River, and the twinkling lights floating to the heavens above look breathtaking. This visual feast is a must-watch!\nMooncake\nCelebrations at the Mooncake Festival are incomplete without mooncakes – delicious wheat flour pastries filled with nuts, lotus seeds, red bean paste, fruits, and eggs. Round in shape to symbolize reunion and togetherness, mooncakes are a staple during the Mid-Autumn Festival in Singapore and are made in homes and bakeries alike. Meant to be shared with the entire family and distributed to friends as a symbol of gratitude, these mouth-watering pastries are available in a variety of flavours as well  - Singapore is popular for Durian-flavoured mooncakes so give that a try!\nThe Mooncakes\nFood\nFamily meals are an important part of the Mooncake Festival.

However, the worship began to be transformed into a full-fledged festival only during the early years of the Tang Dynasty (618 CE – 907 CE). The stories of the origin of the Mooncake Festival are quite a few. However, the ones that have been passed over the generations are the tales connected to Chang’E.\n\n**Legend of Chang'E**  \nThere are two different tales connected to the Moon Goddess of Immortality, Chang'E. According to Lihui Yang's \"Handbook of Chinese Mythology\", there was an excellent archer in the ancient past, named Hou Yi. He saved the earth and its people from the ten suns that rose and circled the sky together by shooting down nine of them, thus preventing the earth from scorching. This act of bravery led an immortal to admire him and present him with an elixir of immortality. Yi was married to Chang'E and did not wish to be immortal without her, so he handed it to her possession. However, soon after, one of Yi’s apprentices, Peng Meng, learnt of this secret and wished to use the elixir for himself. On the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, he broke into Yi's house in his absence and pestered Chang'E to hand over the elixir to him. To prevent this, Chang'E drank the elixir herself and ascended to the moon. After Yi arrived, he learnt what happened and began a ritual of offering his wife’s favourite fruits and cakes in his yard. Soon, other people found out about the incident and out of sympathy, they also participated in these rites.\n\nIn an alternate version of the legend, after Hou Yi defeated the nine suns, he was declared king by the people. However, soon after his rule began, he became a tyrannical ruler. To live as an immortal, he asked for an elixir of immortality from Xi Wang Mu. To save the people from the immortal rule of the conceited Yi, Chang'E stole the elixir and drank it herself, following which she flew up to the moon and became the moon goddess. Overcome by spite, Hou Yi died soon after. As an offering to Chang'E for her sacrifice, the people started praising her and displayed cakes and fruits in their gardens and yards. Since then, the Mid-Autumn Festival began to be celebrated.\n\n**Lanterns**   \nLanterns are now synonymous with the Mid-Autumn Festival. Gorgeous paper, cloth, and plastic lanterns are hung outside homes and stores all over Chinatown and the Singapore River. They come in a range of colours and sizes, right from traditional coin-shaped medallions to mythical dragons, lions, butterflies, ducks, and even popular characters from TV shows like Pikachu, Hello Kitty, and SpongeBob SquarePants! They are painted with bright colours and messages of prosperity and are hung from high poles. Lantern painting competitions are held in the streets too; in some competitions, visitors are tasked with finding the answers to riddles written on the lanterns. Wish-making lanterns are set afloat by dewy-eyed couples, in hopes of sealing their romance forever. Flying sky lanterns are sent off into the night sky towards the moon, giving the sky an ethereal, starry glow. The reflection of the lanterns on the waters of the Singapore River, and the twinkling lights floating to the heavens above look breathtaking. This visual feast is a must-watch\\!\n\n**Mooncake**   \nCelebrations at the Mooncake Festival are incomplete without mooncakes – delicious wheat flour pastries filled with nuts, lotus seeds, red bean paste, fruits, and eggs. Round in shape to symbolize reunion and togetherness, mooncakes are a staple during the Mid-Autumn Festival in Singapore and are made in homes and bakeries alike. Meant to be shared with the entire family and distributed to friends as a symbol of gratitude, these mouth-watering pastries are available in a variety of flavours as well - Singapore is popular for Durian-flavoured mooncakes so give that a try\\!\n\n![Mooncake Singapore](https:\/\/www.holidify.com\/images\/cmsuploads\/compressed\/Mooncake-Lotus-Filling-Sweets-Pastry-Mooncakes-2409858_20180712194219.jpg)\n\nThe Mooncakes\n\n**Food**   \nFamily meals are an important part of the Mooncake Festival. Fresh fruits like pumpkins, grapes, pomelos, peaches, pears, and pomegranates are offered to the gods and shared with visitors – visit the street food stalls to try the scrumptious seasonal fruit salads! Sip on traditional cassia wine or tea, and munch on soy bean-infused snacks, walking through the decked-up streets of Chinatown during the festival.\n\n**Matchmaking**   \nAs the entire family comes together, the Mid-Autumn Festival celebrates romance and marriage too. Women pray to the moon goddess to bless them with a long-lived marriage, while men proposition their loved ones with moon poems and songs. Courtship games are also held in Chinatown. Let romance pervade the air and indulge in the festivities at this festival\\!\n\n**Games and Other Activities**   \nTraditional children’s games are played during the festival, including variations of tag and toad jumping. Almost a hundred years old, these games are enjoyed by adults and kids alike – street games, singing competitions, and karaoke are popular in Chinatown during this time. At night, the entire community gets together to gaze at the beauty of the full moon and sing songs.\n\n**[Chinatown](https:\/\/www.holidify.com\/places\/singapore\/chinatown-sightseeing-11510.html)**  \nChinatown is a must-visit during the festival, as the streets are decked up in garlands, streamers, and glowing lanterns. Street food stalls sell mooncakes, tea, wine, and other delicious snacks. Traditional Chinese bamboo gifts are sold by hawkers, and carnivals are organized for an entire month. Street performances, culture trails, and lantern walks are also held, that add to the festivities. Keep in mind that Chinatown will be incredibly crowded during this time.\n\n> **How to Reach**   \n> Chinatown is at Outram District in Singapore’s Central Area.  \n> MRT: Take the Northeast Line or Downtown Line to Chinatown MRT Station.

Boilerpipe Text	The full moon during the autumn has been worshipped by the Chinese since the Shang Dynasty, roughly falling between 1600 BCE – 1046 BCE. However, the worship began to be transformed into a full-fledged festival only during the early years of the Tang Dynasty (618 CE – 907 CE). The stories of the origin of the Mooncake Festival are quite a few. However, the ones that have been passed over the generations are the tales connected to Chang’E. Legend of Chang'E There are two different tales connected to the Moon Goddess of Immortality, Chang'E. According to Lihui Yang's "Handbook of Chinese Mythology", there was an excellent archer in the ancient past, named Hou Yi. He saved the earth and its people from the ten suns that rose and circled the sky together by shooting down nine of them, thus preventing the earth from scorching. This act of bravery led an immortal to admire him and present him with an elixir of immortality. Yi was married to Chang'E and did not wish to be immortal without her, so he handed it to her possession. However, soon after, one of Yi’s apprentices, Peng Meng, learnt of this secret and wished to use the elixir for himself. On the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, he broke into Yi's house in his absence and pestered Chang'E to hand over the elixir to him. To prevent this, Chang'E drank the elixir herself and ascended to the moon. After Yi arrived, he learnt what happened and began a ritual of offering his wife’s favourite fruits and cakes in his yard. Soon, other people found out about the incident and out of sympathy, they also participated in these rites. In an alternate version of the legend, after Hou Yi defeated the nine suns, he was declared king by the people. However, soon after his rule began, he became a tyrannical ruler. To live as an immortal, he asked for an elixir of immortality from Xi Wang Mu. To save the people from the immortal rule of the conceited Yi, Chang'E stole the elixir and drank it herself, following which she flew up to the moon and became the moon goddess. Overcome by spite, Hou Yi died soon after. As an offering to Chang'E for her sacrifice, the people started praising her and displayed cakes and fruits in their gardens and yards. Since then, the Mid-Autumn Festival began to be celebrated. Lanterns Lanterns are now synonymous with the Mid-Autumn Festival. Gorgeous paper, cloth, and plastic lanterns are hung outside homes and stores all over Chinatown and the Singapore River. They come in a range of colours and sizes, right from traditional coin-shaped medallions to mythical dragons, lions, butterflies, ducks, and even popular characters from TV shows like Pikachu, Hello Kitty, and SpongeBob SquarePants! They are painted with bright colours and messages of prosperity and are hung from high poles. Lantern painting competitions are held in the streets too; in some competitions, visitors are tasked with finding the answers to riddles written on the lanterns. Wish-making lanterns are set afloat by dewy-eyed couples, in hopes of sealing their romance forever. Flying sky lanterns are sent off into the night sky towards the moon, giving the sky an ethereal, starry glow. The reflection of the lanterns on the waters of the Singapore River, and the twinkling lights floating to the heavens above look breathtaking. This visual feast is a must-watch! Mooncake Celebrations at the Mooncake Festival are incomplete without mooncakes – delicious wheat flour pastries filled with nuts, lotus seeds, red bean paste, fruits, and eggs. Round in shape to symbolize reunion and togetherness, mooncakes are a staple during the Mid-Autumn Festival in Singapore and are made in homes and bakeries alike. Meant to be shared with the entire family and distributed to friends as a symbol of gratitude, these mouth-watering pastries are available in a variety of flavours as well - Singapore is popular for Durian-flavoured mooncakes so give that a try! The Mooncakes Food Family meals are an important part of the Mooncake Festival. Fresh fruits like pumpkins, grapes, pomelos, peaches, pears, and pomegranates are offered to the gods and shared with visitors – visit the street food stalls to try the scrumptious seasonal fruit salads! Sip on traditional cassia wine or tea, and munch on soy bean-infused snacks, walking through the decked-up streets of Chinatown during the festival. Matchmaking As the entire family comes together, the Mid-Autumn Festival celebrates romance and marriage too. Women pray to the moon goddess to bless them with a long-lived marriage, while men proposition their loved ones with moon poems and songs. Courtship games are also held in Chinatown. Let romance pervade the air and indulge in the festivities at this festival! Games and Other Activities Traditional children’s games are played during the festival, including variations of tag and toad jumping. Almost a hundred years old, these games are enjoyed by adults and kids alike – street games, singing competitions, and karaoke are popular in Chinatown during this time. At night, the entire community gets together to gaze at the beauty of the full moon and sing songs.

Readable Markdown	The full moon during the autumn has been worshipped by the Chinese since the Shang Dynasty, roughly falling between 1600 BCE – 1046 BCE. However, the worship began to be transformed into a full-fledged festival only during the early years of the Tang Dynasty (618 CE – 907 CE). The stories of the origin of the Mooncake Festival are quite a few. However, the ones that have been passed over the generations are the tales connected to Chang’E. Legend of Chang'E There are two different tales connected to the Moon Goddess of Immortality, Chang'E. According to Lihui Yang's "Handbook of Chinese Mythology", there was an excellent archer in the ancient past, named Hou Yi. He saved the earth and its people from the ten suns that rose and circled the sky together by shooting down nine of them, thus preventing the earth from scorching. This act of bravery led an immortal to admire him and present him with an elixir of immortality. Yi was married to Chang'E and did not wish to be immortal without her, so he handed it to her possession. However, soon after, one of Yi’s apprentices, Peng Meng, learnt of this secret and wished to use the elixir for himself. On the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, he broke into Yi's house in his absence and pestered Chang'E to hand over the elixir to him. To prevent this, Chang'E drank the elixir herself and ascended to the moon. After Yi arrived, he learnt what happened and began a ritual of offering his wife’s favourite fruits and cakes in his yard. Soon, other people found out about the incident and out of sympathy, they also participated in these rites. In an alternate version of the legend, after Hou Yi defeated the nine suns, he was declared king by the people. However, soon after his rule began, he became a tyrannical ruler. To live as an immortal, he asked for an elixir of immortality from Xi Wang Mu. To save the people from the immortal rule of the conceited Yi, Chang'E stole the elixir and drank it herself, following which she flew up to the moon and became the moon goddess. Overcome by spite, Hou Yi died soon after. As an offering to Chang'E for her sacrifice, the people started praising her and displayed cakes and fruits in their gardens and yards. Since then, the Mid-Autumn Festival began to be celebrated. Lanterns Lanterns are now synonymous with the Mid-Autumn Festival. Gorgeous paper, cloth, and plastic lanterns are hung outside homes and stores all over Chinatown and the Singapore River. They come in a range of colours and sizes, right from traditional coin-shaped medallions to mythical dragons, lions, butterflies, ducks, and even popular characters from TV shows like Pikachu, Hello Kitty, and SpongeBob SquarePants! They are painted with bright colours and messages of prosperity and are hung from high poles. Lantern painting competitions are held in the streets too; in some competitions, visitors are tasked with finding the answers to riddles written on the lanterns. Wish-making lanterns are set afloat by dewy-eyed couples, in hopes of sealing their romance forever. Flying sky lanterns are sent off into the night sky towards the moon, giving the sky an ethereal, starry glow. The reflection of the lanterns on the waters of the Singapore River, and the twinkling lights floating to the heavens above look breathtaking. This visual feast is a must-watch\! Mooncake Celebrations at the Mooncake Festival are incomplete without mooncakes – delicious wheat flour pastries filled with nuts, lotus seeds, red bean paste, fruits, and eggs. Round in shape to symbolize reunion and togetherness, mooncakes are a staple during the Mid-Autumn Festival in Singapore and are made in homes and bakeries alike. Meant to be shared with the entire family and distributed to friends as a symbol of gratitude, these mouth-watering pastries are available in a variety of flavours as well - Singapore is popular for Durian-flavoured mooncakes so give that a try\! ![Mooncake Singapore](https://www.holidify.com/images/cmsuploads/compressed/Mooncake-Lotus-Filling-Sweets-Pastry-Mooncakes-2409858_20180712194219.jpg) The Mooncakes Food Family meals are an important part of the Mooncake Festival. Fresh fruits like pumpkins, grapes, pomelos, peaches, pears, and pomegranates are offered to the gods and shared with visitors – visit the street food stalls to try the scrumptious seasonal fruit salads! Sip on traditional cassia wine or tea, and munch on soy bean-infused snacks, walking through the decked-up streets of Chinatown during the festival. Matchmaking As the entire family comes together, the Mid-Autumn Festival celebrates romance and marriage too. Women pray to the moon goddess to bless them with a long-lived marriage, while men proposition their loved ones with moon poems and songs. Courtship games are also held in Chinatown. Let romance pervade the air and indulge in the festivities at this festival\! Games and Other Activities Traditional children’s games are played during the festival, including variations of tag and toad jumping. Almost a hundred years old, these games are enjoyed by adults and kids alike – street games, singing competitions, and karaoke are popular in Chinatown during this time. At night, the entire community gets together to gaze at the beauty of the full moon and sing songs. [Chinatown](https://www.holidify.com/places/singapore/chinatown-sightseeing-11510.html) Chinatown is a must-visit during the festival, as the streets are decked up in garlands, streamers, and glowing lanterns.
