The unique customs of the Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival, include:

1. **Mooncake Festival (月饼节)**: Mooncakes are the most iconic symbol of the Mid-Autumn Festival. These round, pastry desserts are traditionally eaten by families during the full moon.
2. **Watching the Moon (赏月)**: The evening of the Mid-Autumn Festival is celebrated by gathering outdoors under the full moon, as people believe it's the time when the moon is brightest and fullest. Families may go for moonlight walks and enjoy the beauty of the night sky.
3. **Festival Banquets (团圆饭)**: Similar to Chinese New Year, Mid-Autumn Festival is another time for family reunions. Many people have special meals to celebrate, often involving a feast.
4. **Drumming and Dragon Dances (舞龙舞狮)**: While traditionally associated with the Chinese New Year, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, communities may also hold dragon and lion dances to entertain crowds and celebrate.
5. **Lantern Raising (放灯笼)**: People may decorate their homes and gardens with lanterns in a variety of shapes, often symbolizing longevity, happiness, and good fortune.
6. **Tales of Chang'e and the Moon Rabbit (嫦娥奔月和玉兔)**: The festival is associated with the legend of Chang'e, a beautiful woman who lived on the moon, and the Moon Rabbit, a mythical creature believed to live in her residence on the lunar surface.
7. **Poetry Writing (吟诗)**: During the festival, many people, particularly scholars and poets, would write poems in celebration of the full moon.
These customs are deeply rooted in Chinese culture and are enjoyed by many across the world during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
