Tips

1. Ditan Park’s unique “Fake Qing Festival Performance” starts on time at 10:30 a.m. every day. Since there is only one performance every day, it is recommended to come to Ditan Park. Temple fairs "come early rather than late".

2. There are more people at the west gate of Ditan Park. Although an extra overpass was built for the Ditan Temple Fair, the pedestrian capacity is not too high. It is recommended to enter the park from the south gate of Ditan Park.
