The tradition of temple fairs continued this year as the Chinese Lunar New Year was ushered in amidst fireworks and celebration. For most foreigners in Beijing, this is a time when they can learn more about Chinese culture as well as have fun at these temple fairs.

Nillah Nyakoa attended one special temple fair in Beijing's Dongcheng District. Unlike other temple fairs, which are usually held outdoors, this one was held inside a building.
