CHINA: CHINESE NEW YEAR CELEBRATIONS - TEMPLE FAIR
Mandarin/Nat
China's Lunar New Year season burst into color on Thursday with the opening of Beijing's first temple fair.
Hundreds of millions of Chinese are now criss-crossing the country, trying to get to their hometowns before the Year of the Dragon starts on Saturday.
Thursday's grand opening ceremony of the temple fair in Beijing's Temple of Earth marked the beginning of the Chinese Spring festival period, welcoming the Year of the Dragon.
Tens of thousands of people will gather here during the next week for the lunar new year holiday, China's most important.
It wraps the western traditions of Christmas and New Year into one massive celebration.
Chinese New Year is traditionally celebrated on the first day of the second new moon which this year will be 5 February.
The Year of the Dragon has a special importance as the dragon is supposed to bring long life and prosperity to the people.
SOUNDBITE: (Mandarin)
The saying is jumping dragon and leaping tiger, there happens great things in the years of tiger and dragon. We had a safe and smooth Year of the Tiger, the Year of the Dragon should be smooth, too.

Temple fairs have always been at the centre of new year celebrations.
The Temple of Earth, in Chinese called Ditan, is the location for one of China's most famous and most extensive fairs.
Traditionally, the temple fairs, as the name suggests, used to be ritual prayer ceremonies for prosperity, peace and good fortune.
Today little is left of this on China's mainland where the 1966-1976 Cultural Revolution left many of China's ancient religious traditions in ruins.
Nevertheless, the hope of good fortune never dies and some old rituals - here the lucky coin tossing - are still practised vividly.
Temple fairs are now more commercial than religious occasions, with all kinds of displays, performances and food stalls.
Lunar New Year's Eve is this Friday (4 February), and the formal week-long holiday starts on Saturday.
