[2025 Beijing Attraction] Travel Guide for Changdian Temple Fair (Updated Mar)

As night falls, the east and west Liulichang are decorated with various lanterns, creating a unique night view. The charm of the night Changdian Temple Fair lies in its rich cultural atmosphere and dazzling lights. The temple fair has a themed logo and cartoon mascot, with traditional Chinese lanterns as elements, highlighting the characteristics of the traditional "Wenshi" temple fair. On the west Liulichang Street of the Changdian Temple Fair, there is a section called "Hundred-meter Poetry Star River Corridor", which is about 100 meters long. With the "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" as the background, it incorporates 382 traditional lanterns and 124 poems, echoing the ancient buildings along the street, creating an illusion of traveling through time and space. On the east Liulichang Street, a section of beautiful fish lanterns symbolizes a good harvest year after year and the carp leaping over the dragon gate. These wishes for a better future resonate with visitors at the temple fair, and many people stop to take photos. The Changdian Temple Fair is full of New Year flavor during the day, and even more so at night. Being immersed in the strong New Year flavor is a happy feeling...

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year in 2025, I couldn't stay at home any longer, so I went to the Changdian Temple Fair. The Changdian Temple Fair is as famous as the Nanjing Confucius Temple, Shanghai City God Temple, and Chengdu Qingdao Yang Palace Temple Fair. Located in the Liulichang Cultural District, it is known for its cultural beauty, with its cultural relics, calligraphy and paintings, and the four treasures of the study. In 2006, the Changdian Temple Fair became the first temple fair to be included in the National Intangible Cultural Heritage List. This year, it is the first temple fair after UNESCO included the Chinese New Year in the World Intangible Cultural Heritage List, so the Changdian Temple Fair has attracted many tourists. East and West Liulichang are the main streets of the Changdian Temple Fair. The 800-meter-long street is crowded with visitors, and people are smiling with joy. The streets are decorated with lanterns and streamers, and the atmosphere of the Spring Festival is everywhere. Visitors stop at various stalls to buy their favorite goods. Visitors who love to take photos are busy with their cameras and phones. For "old Beijingers," the taste of the New Year is a string of candied haws and a big windmill, and the memories are full of happiness. For young people, visiting the Changdian Temple Fair in Beijing and experiencing the traditional cultural atmosphere is a fulfilling experience. The Changdian Temple Fair is worth a visit. Experience the taste of the New Year and the feeling of happiness.

The Factory Temple Fair, a traditional folk and folk religious activity popular in Beijing, is one of the national intangible cultural heritages. The Factory Temple Fair is held from the first to the fifth day of the first lunar month every year, with a grand scale, a strong Beijing flavor, and is well-known far and wide. After the liberation, the temple fair in the factory area continued to be held until the early 1960s, still lively and bustling. From 1964, due to traffic hindrance, the Factory Lantern Market was suspended, and the drums were silenced for 37 years. In 2001, the Beijing Municipal Government announced the restoration of the Factory Temple Fair.
