The slogan "Moon Full on the Birthday, Twin Festivals Celebrated Together" echoed through the streets. The giant flower baskets on Tiananmen Square welcomed the first rays of dawn, while lanterns under the red walls of the Forbidden City shimmered in harmony with the full moon. During this eight-day holiday, every fluttering national flag told a story: 76 years of splendid history have shaped the magnificent landscapes of our motherland.
