The Autumn Equinox, or Qiu Fen in Chinese, which marks the harvest season anticipated by farmers and mooncake lovers across China and Chinese communities worldwide, begins on September 23 following the White Dew and lasts until October 8 when it gives way to the Cold Dew on the Chinese lunar calendar. With less rainfall and drier air, it is greatly recommended to prepare some edibles with warm and moist nature? And nothing ticks the box better than lotus roots.
