Mid-Autumn Festival

你们好!

I hope you are all well and are enjoying learning Mandarin. 

My first month in 中国 has been very busy as me and my friends have begun exploring our new home in 天津. We have already seen so many amazing things and started at our new 大学 to study 汉语.

Some pictures of the city during the day and night-time:

An exciting event that happened the other day was the 中秋节. To celebrate, we visited my friend’s house where we ate 月饼delicious Chinese food and afterwards went for a walk along the river to view the beautiful full moon.

Me and my friends with a Chinese family celebrating the Mid Autumn Festival:


Yummy Chinese food, see if you can guess what it all is:
