The Spring Festival is coming. Besides the tradition of going to temple fairs, many Tianjin citizens choose to go to the "water temple fair," which has become a new leisure activity.

The "water temple fair" was first held in 2007. According to the organization committee, 150,000 tourists attended the fair last year. This year, sports competitions with prizes, snacks and other interactive activities will be added to the list of attractions.

Tianjin citizens have shown great interest in this local event, and some of them give up plans of venturing further out for fun. According to estimates, the number of tourists at the "water temple fair" will exceed 300,000.
