Chuseok preparations begin

Fish used for ancestral rites hang in rows along an alley specializing in dried seafood at Jukdo Market in Pohang, North Gyeongsang, on Sept. 13. Chuseok, one of Korea’s biggest traditional holidays, falls on Sept. 25 this year. Families traditionally gather during the holiday and may hold ancestral rites, preparing a table with foods such as meat, fish and songpyeon, half-moon-shaped rice cakes traditionally associated with Chuseok.
