Sports, Entertainment & Art

                              

More than 4,000 Beijingers and visitors queued up on Tuesday in the chilly wind for a bowl of steaming porridge served by monks at a lamasery in the capital to observe China's traditional porridge serving day.

Thirty giant caldrons of "Laba Porridge", which is made from dozens of ingredients, were served in the Yonghe Lamasery in north Beijing on the Laba Festival today.

"It only takes 10 minutes for one caldron of porridge to be given away because people are so enthusiastic about the tradition," said a monk.

"I queue up here every year to get a bowl of Laba porridge. It has become an annual routine for me," said a person in the queue.
