如何向外国朋友介绍厦门的中秋博饼

It has been really hot recently. I have to stay indoors all day long.
I long for the comfortable autumn in Xiamen. The weather will get much cooler and we can celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival.
What's that?
It is a traditional Chinese holiday that falls on the 15th day of the eighth month of the Chinese lunar calendar.
What happens on this holiday?
It's often a time for family get-togethers.
Any traditional food?
Yes, we eat mooncake for dessert.
Are there any local traditions for the holiday?
Yes, in and around Xiamen people love to play the mooncake gambling game around Mid-Autumn Festival. It's a game of chance that involves rolling six dice and earning various small prizes.
Mooncake game?
We call it that but the prizes are usually household items like a toothbrush, detergent or a towel. It's on the up-and-up.
Sounds fun and funny.
If you'd like, you can come to my home on this Mid-Autumn Festival for dinner and a mooncake game after that.
That's great, thank you.
