For thousands of years， the Chinese people have related the vicissitudes of life to changes of the moon as it waxes and wanes; joy and sorrow， parting and reunion. Because the full moon is round and symbolizes reunion， the Mid-Autumn Festival is also known as the festival of reunion. All family members try to get together on this special day. Those who can not return home watch the bright moonlight and feel deep longing for their loved ones.
Today， festivities centered about the Mid-Autumn Festival are more varied. After a family reunion dinner， many people like to go out to attend special perfomances in parks or on public squares.

At its peak， the tide rises as high as three and a half meters.
