National Day

“National Day” is a patriotic observance rather than a physical place, commemorating the founding or a pivotal event in a nation’s history. For example, France’s Bastille Day (July 14) marks the start of the French Revolution, while the United States’ Independence Day (July 4) celebrates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence. These holidays typically feature national ceremonies, parades, and fireworks to foster unity and national pride.

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, where families gather to admire the full moon, share mooncakes, and carry lanterns, symbolizing reunion and thanksgiving.
