National Day

“National Day” is not a specific place or cultural site, but a holiday celebrated by many nations to commemorate a significant event in their history, such as independence, revolution, or the founding of the republic. For example, France’s Bastille Day (July 14) marks the start of the French Revolution, while India’s National Day (August 15) celebrates its independence from British rule. These occasions are typically observed with patriotic displays, parades, and public ceremonies.

Mid-Autumn Festival

The Mid-Autumn Festival is a major harvest celebration with roots in China’s ancient moon worship traditions over 3,000 years ago. Today, it is widely celebrated across East and Southeast Asia as a family reunion holiday, where people gather to admire the full moon, share mooncakes, and carry lanterns.
