Mid-Autumn Festival Activities
The Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar each year. According to the Chinese lunar calendar, the 8th month is the second month of autumn, which was historically referred to as "Zhongqiu" (Mid-Autumn). It is also known as "Qiu Xi" (Autumn Evening), "August Festival", "August Half", "Moon Evening", and "Moon Festival". Because the moon is full on this day, symbolizing reunion, it is also called the "Reunion Festival". Traditional customs during the Mid-Autumn Festival include eating mooncakes, admiring the moon, appreciating osmanthus flowers, and solving lantern riddles.

Wumen Bridge
Wumen Bridge is the highest existing ancient stone arch bridge in Suzhou. It was built in the seventh year of the Yuanfeng era of the Northern Song Dynasty (1084), and its completion ended the history of ferrying at Panmen. Therefore, it was called "New Bridge". At that time, the river was much wider than it is now, and the "New Bridge" consisted of two connected wooden bridges on the north bank and a stone bridge on the south bank, which was also referred to as "Three Bridges". The existing Wumen Bridge was renovated during the Qing Dynasty, with a total length of 66.3 meters, a width of 4.8 meters, a clear span of 16 meters, and an arch height of 9.85 meters, making it the highest single-arch stone bridge among the ancient bridges in Suzhou. Ascending the steps, one can see the intricate water network below, boats coming and going, the towering city towers, the shining ancient pagodas, and the distant mountains and nearby waters all in view.
