Beijing: Ditan Temple Fair

The Ditan Temple Fair was first held in 1985, so far has been held for 26 years. When I joined the Beijing Xian one day tour this year, I had went there for the 27th Dian Temple Fair. With a high artistic tastes, it enjoys a famous reputation both at home and abroad. The magnificent scene is hailed as a modern Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival (a famous ancient painting in China is a long, painted scroll 528 cm long and 24.8 cm wide, which portrays street scenes of Bianjing, today's Kaifeng City, Henan Province, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127) ) and Chinese Carnival.

Ditan (Temple of Earth) Park is the site of the altar where sacrifices were formerly offered to the earth god. The performance reenactment of a Qing Dynasty sacrificial ceremony to worship the God of Earth is an unique traditional program. In addition, there will also be a range of folk performances, children's puppet shows and fashion shows, art exhibitions, ice lanterns and snow sculptures, and traditional Beijing snacks.

Going to Ditan Temple Fair in Spring Festival has been a traditional custom for Beijing citizens. As the first recovered temple fair, Ditan Temple Fair of Spring Festival attracts thousands of visitors every year with its authentic folk arts and customs. Such temple fair also can be found in Taoist Temple of Eight Immortals druing your Xian tour.
