The Changdian Temple Fair was Beijing’s earliest and best known temple fair. It reopened in 2001,after a 37-year break.
In the old days, Beijingers had a choice of eight temple fairs to go to, but Changdian was always the most popular. It was originally held on open ground outside Liulichang, now a pedestrian shopping street full of curio and antique shops.
Changdiang is everything you would expect from a temple fair, an eclectic mixture of the traditional and modern. Performers include martial arts, acrobatics, Peking Opera, pop music and folk dancing. Vendors from far and wide come to set up shop and sell books, magazines, paintings, toys, tasty snacks, and dried and fresh fruit. There’s plenty of food to tempt your taste buds including sugar-coated haw berries speared onto meter-long sticks, hot sweet potatoes and sticky pancakes. And you can pick up traditional Chinese crafts such as kites and painted masks taken from Peking Opera characters. Acrobats and other performers are on hand to keep the crowds entertained throughout the day.
