An employee from a local food company makes Chinese characters with sesame meaning "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival" on the giant mooncake with a diameter of 2.4 meters during a promotional event for the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival at a shopping plaza in Kunming city, southwest China's Yunnan province, 3 September 2016. A record-breaking mooncake with a diameter of 2.4 meters has attracted large crowds in a city in southwest China, mainland media reports. The huge mooncake, a food that is traditionally baked and eaten to celebrate the annual Mid-Autumn Festival, was made on Saturday (3 September 2016) and is the biggest to be produced in Kunming in Yunnan province, the China News Service reported. Hundreds of people turned out to admire and sample a little piece of local history, as the mooncake, baked after being stuffed with ham and flower petals, was cut up and given out free for the public to taste. The surface of the mooncake had been baked with four Chinese characters written using sesame seeds on the crust, Zhong Qiu Kuai Le, meaning Happy Mid-Autumn Festival.
