As the Summer Solstice approaches, Longfu Temple will host a super-hot bazaar this weekend featuring coffee and alcoholic drinks.

"Feiyue" Summer Solstice Coffee Culture Market

Ready for a coffee celebration? From June 21 to 22, Longfu Temple's north square will host over 50 premium coffee stalls, hands-on workshops, and food vendors between 13:00 and 21:00. No fee will be charged for entering the market.

The cold brew varieties will help you cool off, while Chinese tea-infused coffee will please you with elegant fragrance. There will also be unusual, creative drinks that will redefine your palate.

At the DIY workshop in the center, baristas will teach you perfect brewing temperatures step by step. You will also witness the process of roasting raw beans to create caramel-like smell in a roaster, and bag your own creation to savor at home.

Besides coffee, a dazzling number of food offers also await. Highlights include golden crispy tofu, numbing-spicy duck bites, coffee banana cake, Sichuan-style cold douhua (a dessert made from tofu), cocktail burgers, Daoxiangcun's Beijing-style pastries, and more.

At Longfu Square, you'll find your instant photo backdrop, with light and shadow completing the setup of the festival.

Collect stamps at featured spots and you can redeem customized coffee fans. You can also partake in the lucky draw after collecting all the fans.

Stein & Stage Fest Summer Solstice Bazaar

Also, a craft beer festival was launched on June 20 at the central square of Longfu Temple and will run until June 22. Centered around theatrical essence, it pays tribute to souls yearning for freedom and passion. 

You will be treated to three themed stages, 15 comedy troupes, three Bacchanalian parades, six art activities, and one collaborative art project. It will be a celebration allowing you to dissipate life's "meaninglessness" through comedy by getting tipsy and then deeply drunken, then waking up before sobriety returns. Punk music and DJ beats will also help you unleash your inner strength. Don't forget the mobile stages: staff workers carrying hidden "storylines" will appear randomly, waiting for you to intercept them, jointly complete tasks together, and seize chances to win mysterious gifts. 

Are you excited? Come to Longfu Temple this weekend!
