Mandarin Segment (with English Translation)
Mandarin
秋天最常见的甜品就是糖炒栗子，走在街上，你常常会闻到那种香味，很有季节感。还有红豆汤或者南瓜饼，都是家常的小点心。月饼在中秋节当然少不了，不过其实很多人秋天都会再买一些，配着茶一起吃。桂花糕也是一道特别的甜品，因为秋天正好是桂花开的季节。
English
One of the most common autumn treats in China is roasted chestnuts. When you walk on the street, you often smell that aroma — it really feels like autumn. There are also red bean soup and pumpkin cakes, which are simple homemade snacks. Mooncakes are, of course, part of the Mid-Autumn Festival, but many people still buy them later in autumn and enjoy them with tea. Osmanthus cake is also special, because autumn is exactly when osmanthus flowers bloom.
