A family reunion dinner is a must for the Chinese on this day
04:09

There are many words to describe a Chinese family reunion, and happiness is atop. In this episode we travel to north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region to look at the different Mid-Autumn Festival customs maintained by a family there, from stoking a "flourishing fire" to their ritual "altar for the moon". We also visit a roast duck restaurant in Beijing, where the staff are unable to travel back to their hometowns. As a substitute, the owner brings them together for a warm, family-style Mid-Autumn dinner.
