He engaged in easy conversations and took photos with local visitors, radiating excitement throughout the experience. Showing a keen interest in Chinese culture, he expressed that this immersive Mid-Autumn market adventure allowed him to deeply appreciate the festive, harmonious atmosphere and unique charm of traditional Chinese holidays.
