City shines bright, as fireworks light up the night sky

With everything from community culture to thrilling competitive events, Macao is set to dazzle visitors throughout September. A key date in the diary is the Mid-Autum Festival (Sep 17th). Locals and visitors alike will be out and about with lanterns of all shapes and sizes, sharing a bit of moon-gazing in family groups, and enjoying a slice of mooncake.
