Chinese Spring Festival Enjoyed by Chinese Families and Friends in Beijing.
About five o'clock in the morning of the first day of the Chinese Spring Festival, The Year Of The Rabbit, I was woken by the shouts of a woman selling dumplings on the road below the hotel. Jiaozi ! Jiaozi ! Jiaozi ! Her voice sounded quite eerie in my half-awake state but I quickly left her to her early morning sales pitch, for the Chinese Spring Festival, and returned to my dreamworld for another four hours. When I eventually got up and looked through the window, the road outside the hotel was already beginning to fill up with Chinese families and friends, muffled up against the cold, but all out to enjoy themselves at the Temple Fair, celebrating the Chinese Spring Festival and I was impatient to join them.
Unofficial Trader At Chinese Spring Festival Fair in Beijing, China.
 Both sides of the road were lined with stalls, the stallholders wearing their official numbered badges, but where there was space at the kerb side, individuals set up their mini stalls, sometimes comprising of just a piece of cardboard laid on the pavement on which their few goods were displayed. At the Chinese Spring Festival in Beijing there was one such mini stall just outside the hotel entrance. I am sure that had the lady sold all her wares during the course of the day, her profit would have been very little.
Chinese Cooks at Spring Festival in China Prepare Fiery Hot Snacks For Chinese People.
 No Temple Fair at a Chinese Spring Festival would be complete without a fair number of different snacks, dumplings or noodles to enjoy, and the people on this day had quite a number to choose from, provided by cooks from other provinces. From experience I have discovered that many of these tasty looking snacks are prepared with liberal portions of very hot chilies, much to the liking of most Chinese people.
