As with every year, expect hotels to pull out all the stops and release fancy mooncake gift boxes. That’s why we’ve also included 10 atas selections made with premium ingredients and wrapped up in pretty packaging. At this moment, there are some credit card promotions for these mooncakes going on, so be quick and score some deals.
