Colorful tradition of mooncake 'gambling'

For centuries, the Mid-Autumn Festival has brought family reunions, big feasts and the enjoyment of a beautiful full moon.

But for people in Xiamen, it also means an exciting game of bobing, or mooncake gambling.

The stakes are mooncakes - pastries with bean or lotus seed fillings - of different size, each marked with the titles of six ranks in the ancient imperial examination.
