庙会 are traditional fairs held at temples, especially during Spring Festival. Beijing's famous ones include 地坛 (Ditan) and 厂甸; they feature food stalls, folk crafts, lion dances, and paper-cutting. 逛 (to stroll) is the verb of choice - you don't 'go', you 'stroll through' a fair.

逛 collocates widely with leisure destinations: 逛街 (stroll the shops), 逛公园 (stroll the park), 逛超市 (browse the supermarket).
