2. Tianqiao: Tianqiao is a place for working people’s activities. The Tianqiao market was formed from the late Qing Dynasty to the early years of the Republic of China. It is also the cradle of many artists.
3. Theater: From the perspective of the development history of Chinese opera, by the early Qing Dynasty, Kunqu Opera called "Ya Bu" began to decline, while various local opera types called "Hua Bu" flourished.
4. Temple fair: Beijing has been an important town in northern China since the Qin and Han Dynasties. Especially the Liao, Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties established their capitals here, and its cultural heritage is extremely profound. As far as the Ming and Qing dynasties are concerned, there were more than 1,000 temples in Beijing, ranking first in the country. If there are many temples, there will naturally be more temple fairs. There are temple fairs almost every day, 365 days a year, which are colorful and beautiful.
