Spring Festival Market and TV Tower

There are many Spring Festival markets (庙会) starting from the day of the new year. They are actually called "meetings around the temples", from where you can guess that it came from the tradition in old China, that people went to temples to pray on the spring festival. Therefore people build the big markets around the temples so that the temple visitor would come to the market too. The market at temple of the Earth (地坛) is famous for the traditional Chinese decorations and contents.
TV tower (中央电视塔) in Beijing is the third highest tower in China, which was also the first one built. At this time, an exhibition of the Beijing Olympic games is taken place here.
