Folk customs shine at temple fair

Hohhot has organized a temple fair in celebration of Spring Festival where folk activities entertain local residents.

People can experience traditional customs including leather-silhouette shows (shadow puppets plays), Chinese operas and musical instruments, Mongolian ethnic snacks and even some nearly-vanished arts and crafts.
