Temple Fair in Beijing



Going to Beijing at an opportune time for the 庙会 or temple fairs, when I think of temple fairs, I somehow associated them with yukatas and Japan, curious to see my first Chinese one in action, we made our way to the Ditan Park.



Mobs of people, queues to buy tickets to enter the fair, kawaii cow figurines. We made our way into the fair apprehensively, but we were greeted with tons of stalls selling cute little items, food stalls from all over China, game stalls, puppet shows, lion dances, performances in various corners of the park. It was plenty of fun just walking around the park.




Bought a cute little red carp for the New Year...
