This is *something* (I don't know any more than that!) to do with the mid-autumn festival.

Kind of drama and funny too, especially with all the eager snappers. I'd never seen anything like this before. Mid-autmn festival is all about lanterns and mooncakes to me :-) Thanks for thr great action slideshow!
