Dates: Jan 30-Feb 6

Venue: Dongyue Temple, Chaoyang district

Dongyue is one of the oldest temple fairs in Beijing, starting during the Yuan Dynasty and having its heyday during the Ming and Qing dynasties. The Culture of "Fu" (Good Fortune) has been the essence of this temple fair for three centuries. Performances of lion dances and Dongyue temple music will be featured this year.

Activities are including an exhibition about "Fu" culture (including a walk on a "Fu" road, hanging a "Fu" plate, circling a "Fu" tree and drawing on a "Fu" canvas), and a folk-custom show featuring various traditional folk activities. There will also be other activities, such as a Taoist music performance and a sports competition. Various artworks, books and snacks will also be available.
