This is the outdoor of the Longtanhu park

If you want to experience the most traditional Beijing Spring Festival, go to the temple fairs is your best choice. Foreigners also like temple fair, because it is a fantastic way to experience the Chinese culture from a very detailed perspective.

Longtanhu Temple Fair is the best choice for tasting a variety of traditional Chinese snacks. You can enjoy traditional Beijing sweet cakes and other snacks made of animal parts such as stir-fried liver, bitter flapjack and fried cow stomach, and so on.

This is the outdoor of the Longtanhu park, which is beautifully decorated with dragons and red latterns.

Found traditional sedan-chair show in Beijing!

Found traditional sedan-chair show in the temple fair of Beijing!

In the Chinese history,  four-person or eight-person carried sedan chairs were very popular. And riding in a sedan chair became a fairly usual way to get around.

Nowadays, sedan chairs are mostly used in the tourism industry. Bridal sedan chairs are usually placed in tourist attractions to reenact the ancient Chinese wedding ceremony or to be used as a photo prop.
