Red lanterns, exquisite paper-cut artworks and ancient new year paintings adorned the temple fair, showcasing the harmony of the Chinese people and their warm wishes for their guests and friends. Chinese food and crafts also outlined a clearer picture of China through all five senses.

Li and Park browsed through several booths and tried their hands at welcoming the new year just like people would do in China, including burning medicinal incense, inscribing paintings, appreciating clay figurines and enjoying a local Tinajin snack, jianbing guozi.

Representatives from Pyongyang also immersed themselves in the activity. People gathered in front of a walnut carving booth and was left in awe at the exquisite craftsmanship. Customers lined up to taste fried rice cakes and mahua, or fried sweet dough twists. Exchange between folk artists also deepened understanding on traditions of China's Spring Festival.
