With the Mid-Autumn Festival approaching, the Office of International and Cross-Strait Affairs’ International and Mainland Students Guidance Section held the 2025 International Students Mid-Autumn Cultural Celebration at noon on October 1 in the 10th-floor lobby of the Ching-Sheng Building. Pomelos and 220 mooncakes were prepared for international students to share and experience the warmth of Taiwan’s festive atmosphere.

During his remarks, Dean of International Affairs Chien-Mu Yeh noted that the Mid-Autumn Festival is one of Taiwan’s most important traditional holidays and a time for family reunion. He emphasized that Tamkang University is a second home for all international students and encouraged everyone to enjoy mooncakes together and celebrate joyfully.

Nguyen Hoang Kim VY, a first-year Architecture student from Vietnam, shared that although Vietnam also celebrates the Mid-Autumn Festival, it does not have a public holiday for it, and Vietnamese mooncakes look pretty different from those in Taiwan. Daichi Kato, a sophomore in Computer Science from Japan, said it was his first time tasting a mooncake with egg yolk inside, a delightful and unique Mid-Autumn experience.
