【Mid-Autumn Special】Come ‘Island’ for This Show

Join us at Yangsheng Island this Mid-Autumn Festival to soak in the mountains, waters, and the moon.

Once again, Mid-Autumn is here. At this time, longing grows stronger with the full moon, steeped in autumn’s essence.

On longing, Li Bai recited: “Moonlight before my bed, I suspect it’s frost on the ground”; the Song Dynasty poet Li Qingzhao captured it: “Just off the brow, but in the heart it lingers”; and for this festival, Su Dongpo immortalized: “May we live long, to share the beauty of this graceful moonlight, though miles apart.”

This year, as autumn deepens, small families reunite and great families brim with joy, the festive atmosphere richer than in years past.

Time sweeps along not only the festival but also the turn of the seasons.

In the north, maple leaves have long dyed the season red, falling leaves stirring poetry; in the southwest, osmanthus fragrance floats on the land, echoes of childhood pastry-sellers ringing in the mind; farther west, snow may already dust high-altitude peaks, camouflage-clad soldiers standing sentinel on snowy crests, guarding our homeland and family gatherings.

The magical land of China sparks boundless imagination. If you know Yangsheng Island in Baoding’s Yi County, you’ll find late summer slipping into early autumn here.

By the jade-green lake of Yangsheng Island, bright moonlight accompanies flower lantern wishes and Chang’e’s blessings, soothing family members weary from the journey.

The vessel of reunion is “home.” For wanderers, home is a warm harbor, a lifetime’s anchorage.

On this reunion night, stroll along the lakeshore. Secluded from the world, with fireflies twinkling and houses arranged in pleasing harmony, why not go now and see the “home” Yangsheng Island has prepared for you?

Push open the door. The traditional layout transports you into a poetic realm; the Four Treasures of the Study welcome honored guests. Beyond the terrace lies tranquility, fragrant when sunny; should rain fall, you’ll feel the line “When shall we trim the candle by the west window, and talk about the rainy night in Ba?” and know the preciousness of togetherness.

Poets always mourn the autumn. In ancient times, traditional festivals inevitably brought a tinge of parting. Yet here, the bright moon is a mirror, quietly shining upon the mortal world, reflecting a thousand years.

Sitting quietly by the lakeside, tasting health-nurturing dishes, as the moon crowns the hills and stars glitter—the moon in the lake, is it the poet’s tale or the people’s yearning?

All around is silence, mind and spirit as one. The lake moon is the sky moon, and the one watching the lake and the moon now is the self you cannot find amid the city’s hustle and bustle.

What could be more fitting than sitting with family and good friends, sipping tea, admiring the moon, and sharing heartfelt feelings? When the moon sets and the lake falls asleep, return to your room (where a delicate family letter awaits you) and enjoy a pure night of reunion dreams.

Yangsheng Island’s Mid-Autumn, a traditional festival in mountain living, deconstructs beauty within the traveler’s heart, warmth accompanying life’s journey. Now we wait for the full moon. “May we live long, to share the beauty of this graceful moonlight, though miles apart.” By Yangsheng Island’s lakeside, we send you our warmest wishes.
