Hunan art shows celebrating the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival were staged in Abu Dhabi and Ras Al Khaimah in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) between September 6 and 8, local time. Brilliant programmes such as acrobatic shows, erhu performances, and puppet shows, as well as colorful intangible cultural heritage displays, and photo exhibitions on culture and tourism were brought to audiences in the UAE.

In Abu Dhabi, 3D-displays with Mid-Autumn Festival themes produced by the China Culture Center in the UAE became internet-famous photo spots outside the theater. Various intangible cultural heritage activities drew many locals, including tea tasting, making dough modellings featuring cute animals, and tying Chinese knots.
 
The “Mid-Autumn Festival: A Moment to Remember” global activities were initiated in 2017. Every year before and after the Mid-Autumn Festival, China cultural centers and tourism offices around the world jointly organize a variety of cultural activities to explain the cultural connotations of reunion, harmony and happiness embodied in the Mid-Autumn Festival to people from all over the world.

This year Hunan held a series of cultural exchange activities in Kuwait and the UAE. These were enjoyed by local residents and reported by local media outlets such as the Kuwait Times, the Arab Times, Abu Dhabi TV, Ras Al Khaimah TV, the Khaleej Times, and RAK Radio.
