Inside King's-Edgehill School
Our King’s-Edgehill International Committee, led by Grade 12 Prefects, Jiawen (Madison) Mu and Chang (Gavin) Liu, organized our first excursion of the school year to celebrate the Moon Festival. We visited a new restaurant on Spring Garden Road in Halifax called Huole for our celebration. The restaurant offers a huge selection of authentic Chinese cuisine including barbecued meats, stewed spicy dishes, and a variety of unique vegetarian dishes.
This Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival, is celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th month of the Chinese lunar calendar. It is the second largest festival in China after the Chinese New Year, and is always celebrated in the middle of the autumn season when the moon is at its roundest and brightest. Students were able to try moon cakes again this year which is a traditional food eaten during the Moon Festival.
