- On the morning of Chuseok Day, Songpyeon (a type of Korean rice cake)
and food prepared with the year’s fresh harvest are set out to give
thanks to ancestors through Charye (ancestor memorial service).

Charye, families visit their ancestors’ graves, they will start clearing the weeds that may have grown up over the burial

beauty of the full harvest moon or play folk games such as
Ganggangsullae (Korean circle dance).
