Beijing Arranges Temple Fairs for Foreign Visitors
Two large temple fairs will be staged during the Lunar New Year holidays starting on Feb. 1, said officials with the Xuanwu District of Beijing.

The two temple fairs, arranged respectively at Changdian and Daguanyuan, south Beijing, will as usual focus on traditional Chinese folk arts and handcrafts.

Officials said it was an opportunity for those interested in Chinese tradition and foreigners were encouraged to participate in the activities.

The temple fair is a traditional cultural event featuring all kinds of Chinese folk art. The fair is usually held around the Spring Festival (lunar New Year) and attracts thousands of visitors from home and abroad. So far, there have been more than 10 major temple fairs held each year in different parts of Beijing.
