國泰航空公司Cathay Pacific  This year on the year 2023中秋節 Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the Friday 29th September 2023 in which also it known as the Moon Festival which is adjacent to China’s National Day on October 1st. An 8-day public holiday in which is a Public National Holiday of eight days enjoyed from September 29th to October 6th….. The Chinese –Asian community festival is held on the 15th day of the 8th month of the Chinese lunisolar calendar with a full moon at night, corresponding to mid-September to early October of the Gregorian calendar.

The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival or Mooncake Festival, is a traditional festival celebrated in Chinese culture. Similar holidays are celebrated in Japan, Korea, Vietnam, and other countries in East and Southeast Asia

Mooncakes Symbolize Family Reunion

In Chinese culture, roundness symbolizes completeness and togetherness. A full moon symbolizes prosperity and reunion for the whole family. Round mooncakes complement the harvest moon in the night sky at the Mid-Autumn Festival

A mooncake (simplified Chinese: 月饼; traditional Chinese: 月餅) is a Chinese bakery product traditionally eaten during the Mid-Autumn Festival (中秋節). The festival is primarily about the harvest while a legend connects it to moon watching, and mooncakes are regarded as a delicacy.

Is it good luck to eat mooncakes?

The mooncakes are the sweet and round delicacies associated with the feast: thought to bring good luck and prosperity, they are usually given as a present to their loved ones and served with tea

Put all the good things and blessings in the square gift box, and let the warmth of reunion be condensed in the small mooncake~ As the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, Cathay has specially prepared a mixed mini mooncake gift box for everyone. I hope this Holiday blessings can accompany the moonlight, travel across thousands of mountains and rivers, and reach you.

The carefully crafted limited edition mooncake gift box brings you a double enjoyment of sight and taste! The design is inspired by aircraft portholes, with unique ingenuity and simplicity. There are three classic Hong Kong-style mooncakes with egg yolk and white lotus paste, red bean paste, and custard. Each one uses a low-oil and low-fat formula, taking into accounts both deliciousness and health. Whether you are rushing to a reunion and enjoying the happiness of family gathering together; Or set sail for the stars and explore the unknown world together. As always, Cathay Pacific will accompany you every step of the way also the design are from Cathay international iconic elements!

James also walked us through some stories of his collectibles and shares how he will make the most of the future with Cathay.

對擁有超過3萬件關於航空珍藏的香港收藏家協會高級副會長James Ng來說，國泰於80年代推出的「東海」旅行袋讓他最為鍾情。除了分享他的收藏故事，James亦期待未來與國泰迎接更多飛躍里程。

What’s the greatest challenge of working at the airport? What keeps these two members of our Airport team going, even after three decades on the job? It’s been 25 years since the Hong Kong International Airport moved from its original Kai Tak location to Chek Lap Kok, and Carol and Harry are among the few remaining members of our Airport team who witnessed the last flight from Kai Tak Airport. Hear from the veterans as they share stories from the past 25 years, and beyond.

機場工作最大的挑戰是？

有甚麼令兩位機場同事，過去30年來對崗位不離不棄？

Diehard Cathay fan and professional photographer Jacky Lau has long held a passion for travelling.
