Bostons Chinatown stages one of its largest events, the August Moon Festival, held around the Chinatown Gateway arch on Harrison Ave. . The Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival commemorates a 14th-century uprising against the Mongols. Plans for the revolt were smuggled to likeminded ympathisers inside small cakes. Try a traditional mooncake that contains a hidden message. North Americas fifth-largest Chinatown, home to around 5000 people and a tourist attraction for many more.
