Lanterns illuminate the night's sky and visitors indulge their sweet tooth at Hong Kong's Mid-Autumn Festival this year.

Cakes are a special part of this event, which commemorates the method used by the Mongols to smuggle messages to revolutionaries in the 14th century – by hiding paper notes inside confectionary!

The event has since been marked by local families who light lanterns on the hillsides around the former British territory, in the shape of animals, and eat cake under the light of the autumn moon.

Moon cakes are sweet and made of ground lotus, sesame seed paste, egg yolk and other ingredients, according to the recipe from the Hong Kong Tourist Board.

The celebrations take place on September 14th this year between 20.00 and 23.00, local time, at Victoria Park, Causeway Road in Causeway Bay. Admission is free.

One of the highlights of the Mid-Autumn festival this year can be found lurking in the streets behind Causeway Bay recreation grounds – a dragon measuring 67 metres!
