About 20 foreigners from 12 countries including Russia, the U.S., Turkey and Pakistan, participated in this activity held at south China's Guangdong Province Technician College of Light Industry on Sept. 17.

While making Cantonese-style mooncakes under the guidance of Cantonese cuisine chefs, these foreigners experienced Cantonese cuisine flavors and had a taste of Chinese traditional culture.

Stephan Mohler, a pianist from Switzerland, said that this was the second time he has learned to make mooncakes, and the Cantonese cuisine chefs were very particular about the techniques of making mooncakes, which was similar to that of making pianos.

Akifzed from Pakistan, an expert at the School of Physics and Telecommunications Engineering of South China Normal University, pointed out that thanks to the interesting activity, he was able to fully feel the charm of Chinese traditional culture.
