This is a time when many people visit their families. The official holday date was Tuesday but some businesses closed on the Monday to allow their workers to have a 4 day holiday.
We visited the Longshan Temple in Taipei and it had bus loads of visitors taking offerings to the temple and praying.
George Su gave us some traditional Moon cakes and pomelos ( huge grapefruits with a thick skin and bitter pith). There were many places selling all kinds of moon cakes packaged in red and gold. The cakes are round with a pastry like covering and stuffed with all sorts of sweet fillings- red bean, green bean, peanuts, longans etc.
