A total of 19 teenagers from the United States experience moon cakes making with their boarding families in Xiamen, Fujian province, on July 27 to greet the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival which falls on Sept 19.
Guided by their Chinese teachers, they all did a good job in making moon cakes with crispy skin from rolling a dough, putting the dough to a mould, to filing favored fillings to the mould.
One of the American students said that it was quite interesting to make moon cakes and traditional Chinese culture is really charming.
China announced and implemented on May 15 a policy allowing visa-free entry of foreign tourist groups aboard cruise ships via all cruise ship ports along the country's coastline.
China and Georgia are set to waive visa requirements for travelers starting May 28.
