Tourists shouted and kicked the door to force a temple to open at night in northern China.

Video filmed in the city of Xinzhou in Shanxi Province on January 25 shows dozens of tourists shouting "open the door" together outside the Guanghua Temple repeatedly.

The tourists were also seen knocking at the temple's door and kicking it.

Finally, the temple's door opened and the tourists walked inside.

According to an employee of the Wutaishan Scenery Spot, Guanghua Temple is famous for its light show and it had the show on the first two nights of the Chinese New Year holiday. So tourists thought the light show would be displayed at every night and queued to see it at the temperature of -20 degrees Celsius.

However, the temple was recently closed overnight to avoid the traffic jams caused by the overcrowding of tourists at the Wutai Mountain scenic spot. The temple has apologised for not posting a notice for the temporary closure in advance.

1月25日，山西忻州，五台山景区广化寺因夜晚不开门，游客冒着零下20℃严寒等待未果，愤怒踹门，寺庙最终只好开门迎客。
五台山景区工作人员表示，广化寺因夜晚灯光秀而著称，是五台山内的网红打卡地，但近半年来夜景一直出于关闭状态，春节之际前两天晚上开放了，游客以为之后都开放，结果到了后没开。
广化寺寺庙一位负责人称，事发25日19时许，起因系游客未能进入寺庙观赏夜景，当时户外天气较冷为零下20摄氏度。该负责人表示，游客有敲门的行为，但不是破坏性的，广化寺近期夜间暂停开放，原因是五台山景区春节期间游客太多，为了避免交通瘫痪。寺庙方因未提前在网络发布临时关闭通知表示歉意。
