The night was brighter thanks to the supermoon illuminating the sky.

People in Hangzhou were able to watch the largest supermoon in the evenings of July 13 and July 14 when the moon was at its closest point to the Earth.

Supermoon looks about 14 percent bigger and 30 percent brighter than usual.

Usually four to six times of supermoon take place in an entire year. The next supermoon will occur on Aug 12.
