Happy Chinese New Year, and happy year of the dragon! I went to the 28th Traditional Beijing New Year Goods Fair and it was PACKED. It took me two days to navigate through the 300 sellers that were there. I was able to find (mostly) food, spices, clothing, decorations, and more! The things bought will be eaten, used to decorate, or worn for the new year!

The first week it opened, there were 20,000 visitors a DAY!
