    Default Shots from a local Miaohui (temple fair)

    Miaohui (??), literally temple gatherings or translated as temple fairs are Chinese religious gatherings held by folk temples for the worship of the Chinese gods and immortals. Activities usually include rituals celebrated in the temple, opera on a stage facing the temple, processions of the gods' images on carts throughout villages and cities, performance of musical and ritual troupes (of Taoists, sects and Confucian ritualists), blessing of offerings brought to the temple by families and various economic activities.
    A local shooter keeps me informed of these kinda events, and finally one coincided with my days off work so we drove about 50km out into the countryside to one of the 100's of small villages that are on the fringe of the city.

    All shot with my Fujifilm XE-2 and 18mm f2 Lens

    (I'll add a few from the opera later)
