Roughly 400 people came out to Burnaby's Tian-Jin Temple on Sunday to celebrate the autumn festival.
Organizer Jeffrey Yu said people enjoyed themselves and really got that "Chinese feel."
"I think people had a fabulous time, and I'm glad every body came," Yu said.
The temple served lucky noodles, thought to bring good fortune. People played Chinese Chess, and volunteers were available to teach anyone who wanted to learn. There was also a tea ceremony, a display of Chinese opera masks, and face painting and games for the kids.
The autumn festival is a worldwide celebration in Chinese culture during the period when the moon is biggest and brightest, Yu explained.
Burnaby's Tian-Jin Temple is the first Chinese kuan-kung temple in Canada, according to Yu. For more information, go to www.tianjintemple.org.
