"Spend New Year touring temple fairs" has become the traditional
program for Beijing residents.
Temple fairs that are steeped in Beijing customs have the
light-hearted tempo and harmonious rhythm for leisure-minded
participants celebrating New Year. The Spring Festival will fall on
Feb. 18 this year.
