Visitors to the Summer Place in Beijing during the Spring Festival
(February 18 to March 4) can enjoy themselves thoroughly in a "royal
carnival"that combines the traditional folk art from both north and south
China.

Currently, the Suzhou Street in the Summer Palace, the venue the
carnival, is decorated with lanterns, Chinese knots, dragon flags and
Spring Festival scrolls or couplets.

Actually, the Suzhou Street has long been famous for its New Year's
temple fair, which used to be a royal one in the Qing Dynasty. Today's
temple fair at the Suzhou Street is renowned for it bringing royal
tradition, unique southern Chinese architectural style and Beijing folk
culture together.

The carnival this year will keep the traditional style, but special
attention will be paid to the decorations, to give the visitors a
pleasant "surprise".

The actors will put on the uniforms of the armies of the Qing Dynasty to
take part in a grand dance show to celebrate the opening of the carnival.
