A temple fair in an outer suburban district of Beijing attracted tourists from Beijng, Tianjin and Hebei Province to enjoy Beijing traditional folk custom.
The temple fair is held between Feb. 1 and 22.
Beijing Water Town(WTown), located in Gubeikou Town, Miyun County, Beijing, backs on the most beautiful and most precipitous Simatai Great Wall. It hosts Yuanyanghu Reservoir as a natural ancient village integrating mountain, water and township as "Great Wall + Ancient Town" rare in the suburb of Beijing.
It's estimated that about 40,000 people will spend their Chinese lunar new year at this temple fair.
"We can wear Han-style garments and Tang-style garments during traditional festivals to display an atmosphere of the Spring Festival. We come here to enjoy this atmosphere," said a couple tourists.
Such traditional snacks as tanghulu, marshmallow and sugar figures at the temple fair recall people's childhood memory. What's more, they can also enjoy the traditional culture there, such as Spring Festival scrolls, Chinese shadow play, paper cutting and cross talks.
"Paper cutting and lanterns are good for children to play. As people born in 1980s, we still remember this temple fair environment when we were young. But we can only find the memory here since the old tradition has gone," said a parent taking her daughter to the temple fair.
"We can enjoy ourselves to the full and feel relaxed with Beijing traditional folk customs, as I went back to my childhood, such as tanghulu and street vendors," said an elder tourist.
Tanghulu, most popular in northern China, were originally made with Chinese hawthorns.
