The ancient temple Hongluo Temple is the birthplace of Buddhism in northern China and the largest Buddhist building, enjoying a very high status in the Buddhist community for more than a thousand years. Every year from the first to the sixth day of the first lunar month, the traditional propitious Hongluo Temple Fair with a long history is well received and endorsed by Beijing residents and tourists alike.

It includes Five Fu(blessings) celebrating the Lunar New Year, praying and ringing in the New Year, guessing lantern riddles, appreciating the three durable plants of winter - pine, bamboo and plum blossom, visiting the plum blossom flower exhibitions and other activities.
