Picture of the Day: Mid Autumn Festival 2019

Brilliant shot of Lion Rock for this year's Mid-Autumn Festival

While it was Mid-Autumn Festival on Friday, many protesters did not take a break to celebrate the full moon with family and friends around the dinner table and eat mooncakes.

Instead they gathered in shopping malls, again to sing the newly-adopted anthem, Glory to Hong Kong, as well as chant various slogans, and raise an outstretched hand to show the government needs to meet their five demands.

Others took advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival to create lanterns, some yellow with the umbrella on it, or even Pepe the Frog, or even protest slogans on them and walked around parks and streets displaying their lanterns.

The more sporty or adventurous ones headed to Lok Fu and then climbed up to Lion Rock to shine some lights. There some got out their mooncakes to share with friends and fellow protesters.

What a memorable way to spend Mid-Autumn Festival!
