 The meaning of Mid-Autumn Day is rather different to that in China, though the Vietnamese also celebrate it by eating moon cakes. In Viet Nam the Mid-Autumn Festival is the happiest day for children, during which parents buy their children various kinds of lanterns and snacks.
There are also various activities held to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in Viet Nam. The main activities include worshipping the God of Earth, and carrying carp-shaped lanterns.
Usually a worshipping platform is set up in the yard during Mid-Autumn night, on which moon cakes, fruits, and snacks are laid. Later family members sit together to eat the food while appreciating the moon.
It's also a tradition for the Vietnamese to light lanterns during the Mid-Autumn night. It is thought that if people walk at night with a carp lantern in hand, they will be safe from the carp spirit. Now, children hold various kinds of paper lanterns and play in the moonlight, while eating moon cakes during the evening of Mid-Autumn Day.
