The couple was engrossed in the lively mood of the mid-autumn festival as they wandered along the walkway. The street opened up in front of them, brimming with life and a rainbow of hues.

Both sides of the street were crowded with stalls, all filled with tempting displays. The air was filled with the smells of mouthwatering sweets, luring onlookers with the promise of warm pastries, savoury bites, and aromatic beverages. The laughing and animated talks of the festival attendees mingled beautifully with the animated talking of the sellers.

The stalls were embellished with ornamental lanterns of diverse forms and dimensions, their gentle illumination creating a cosy and captivating ambience. The vivid colours of the paper lanterns, shaped like imaginative animals, fantastical creatures, and delicate flowers, gave the scene a magical touch as they drifted softly overhead.
