Layue, the twelfth month of the traditional Chinese calendar, began on December 31. It is also known for its many traditional customs, making it one of the most culturally rich months of the year. Right after Layue, on the first days of Chinese New Year, people will visit temple fairs and enjoy festive street strolls to celebrate the holiday, embrace the festive spirit and welcome the new year with joy.

Originating from ancient gatherings around temples for worship and trade, temple fairs have evolved into vibrant celebrations featuring a blend of folk culture, food and entertainment. People flock to iconic outdoor venues at temple fairs and take strolls to soak up the lively atmosphere.
