The Mid-Autumn Festival is a cherished traditional holiday in China. In east China's Jiangxi Province, aside from moon-gazing and enjoying mooncakes, there's a unique Mid-Autumn tradition called "Burning Pagoda." Recognized as a national intangible cultural heritage, villagers gather to build and set fire to a 2-3 meter tall tower made of rubble. As the flames rise, they celebrate the harvest and offer wishes for a bright and prosperous future.
