Temple Fair (庙会，miàohuì) in Chinese New Year - belated.
We had an internal contest on “Planning Your Chinese New Year” in Kango before Chinese New Year - we want to share with the US team that how Chinese people celebrate this annual holiday. One of my colleague Xu from Hubei said he was going to visit a Temple Fair (庙会，miàohuì) and I was very exciting about it since I’ve never been to a temple fair so asked for some images. Here are some great ones Xu shared with me.
Can you tell how many red lantern in this super lantern?
Another challenge of counting how many lantern are hanging on the tree!
年年有余（鱼）: Have fish （saving）evey year!
Hope to give you a sense of what the people like in China in a temple fair.
I don’t have an idea about of what’s the yellow stuff? Xu, can you tell us?
Temple fair is a traditional CNY event with long history. Today, it is a market fair that people can see Chinese New year decoration, buy stuff, eat local snacks and also see traditional folk performance. It is also an opportunity to feel the happiness of Chinese New Year from the crowds. Meg went to a temple fair in Beijing this Chinese New Year, check out her Baiyunguan Temple Fair trip.
