A temple fair where culture is center stage

To create a more immersive experience, the fair included games and installations inspired by tradition, such as tossing coins at an installation of five bells to pray for blessings, gathering ingeniously designed stamps, and entering a quiz about Spring Festival customs to win prizes.

Five costumed performers based on the five Chinese blessings — fu, lu (prosperity), shou (longevity), xi (happiness) and cai (wealth) — roamed the park, interacting and taking photos with visitors.

"For the Spring Festival festivities, we have tried hard and introduced new upgrades to our services," Xu says.

"While preserving tradition and heritage, such as the performing arts, we have also explored new approaches, including the interactive experiences and creative merchandise. From visitor feedback, these efforts to enhance the temple fair experience have been well-received," Xu adds.
