Since Mid-Autumn Festival coincides with the fall harvest, the occasion is celebrated in Taiwan by making offerings to the Earth God Tu-ti Gong in hope that he will make the next year's harvest even more bountiful.

Taiwanese harvest festival is called Tiong-cchiu Choeh, during this time people have picnics and climb mountains to have a better view point of the moon. They eat moon cakes, as well as eat pomelos, or grapefruit. They pray to the moon god for protection, family unity, and good fortune. It is a time for lovers to trust.
