Zong Zi
On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, the Dragon Boat Festival, zongzi, or glutinous rice cake wrapped in reed leaf is the festivity food. The Dragon Boat Festival has had more than 2,000 years of history in China.

A huge billboard ad for moon cakes on the street during mid-autumn. 
Second to the Spring Festival in importance and grandness is the Mid-autumn Festival, when people get together to have the moon cake.Because of its round shape like that of the moon, the moon cake symbolizes union. Every Mid-autumn, when the bright round moon is hanging above, and all homes are united, people enjoy moon cakes while observing the moon and enjoying life. Moon cakes and zongzi are both considered desserts and not main meals.
