As mass-produced mooncakes sweep market with different flavors and various stuffing, customers are inclined to turn to traditional taste, which makes hand-made mooncakes a hot commodity in the market.

Wei Quanfa's hand-made mooncake is one such case. The 72-year-old baker inherited the traditional craft from his family and started his new business in Zhengzhou, Central China's Henan province.

He carries out every procedure by himself, including making stuffing and the mooncake mould, boiling oil, and baking. Because of that, Wei is able to make no more than 40 kg a day in the last month before the festival, and a 30-centimeter-diameter mooncake is priced at over 200 yuan ($30).

With the festival just around the corner, reserving Wei's mooncakes even two days in advance is next to impossible.
