On the day of the temple fair, from mid-morning on, Weishan's citizens board the shuttle busses for the short journey up the to the temple. Outside, stallholders have already set up their business: small snack stalls, toy-shops, little gambling sites.
Inside, some nuns and monks are chanting, while somewhere Weishan's Ancient Music Orchestra, its answer to Lijiang's Naxi orchestra, are busy playing. One by one, people will bring their offerings to the temple and pray for another prosperous year.
Next event: 18 February 2013 in Daxiao Temple, Weishan County
