Among the tickets, 100,000 of the tickets will be directly distributed to certain residents, such as volunteers.

The other half will be available through an online draw.

As of 7:30 pm this Tuesday, people in Beijing can apply for the free tickets through either an app called jtwsm or by following the wechat account of "Culture Beijing."

The tickets will be available until Thursday at midnight.

Each mobile phone user will only be able to get one ticket.

Those who get the tickets will be able to visit the most famous temple fairs in Beijing during the Spring Festival, including the one held at Ditan Park, home to the Temple of Earth.
