Some custom activities of Mid-Autumn Festival:

To the moon.

On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, there is also a special activity called "Walking on the Moon". In the bright moonlight, people wear gorgeous clothes, travel in groups of three or five, or wander the streets, or lack boats on the Qinhuai River, or go upstairs to watch the Yue Hua, talking and laughing. In Ming Dynasty, there were Moon Tower and Moon Bridge in Nanjing, and Moon Tower under Lion Mountain in Qing Dynasty, all of which were scenic spots for tourists to enjoy the moon while walking on the moon. The Moon Building in Mochou Lake Park built after liberation has become a new attraction for citizens to enjoy the moon.

In the past, Nanjing people had a special prayer to walk on the moon: any married woman without a son would go to the Confucius Temple and then cross the bridge. According to legend, she would have the joy of dreaming of a bear (meaning having a boy). There is a top bridge on the pier of Yaowan Street outside Zhonghua Gate. On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, a man who has not yet given birth came here and threw a crock under the bridge. It is said that this will make his wife pregnant. Over time, this bridge is also known as the top bridge.
