Wen Shu Yuan is an ancient temple site northeast of downtown that has become a community place and tourist attraction. There is usually a lot going on around there during holidays so I went over during Spring Festival week to check it out. The little figures in the decorations are China's Olympic mascots.
The street snacks out today are definitely a big draw. The white vegetable wraps are spring rolls. Various kinds of chilled noodles (liang mian, liang fen, shui mian) look appetizing but I like them better in the summer.
Candy made from bean, sesame, and other kinds of flour.
There were some carnival games going on as well. Here the players stand behind a line and can win a toy or figurine by tossing a ring over the prize.
