The Song Dynasty Moon Worship Ceremony is held according to the traditional etiquette. In the elegant rhythm of ancient music, tourists watch the ceremony under the moonlight, pray together, and send moon cakes and festival blessings to tourists to express the meaning of reunion with ancient gifts. The dance of fairy shadows and dancing shadows under the moon use light, shadow and dance to express the Mid-Autumn Festival mythology and fully display oriental aesthetics.

National-style dances, ancient-style parades, and the melodrama "The Wedding Ceremony of the Song Dynasty" were staged one after another, and folk performances such as red flash mobs, Northern Shaanxi Yangge, storytelling, and folk songs were staged one after another. The traditional Chinese and ancient charms blended with the customs of Northern Shaanxi, creating scenes at every step and charm everywhere. The nightly bonfire bubble party begins with joy, the music and fireworks show lights up the night sky, and the gorgeous fireworks interweave with light and shadow, pushing the atmosphere of the Mid-Autumn Night Tour to a climax.
