This is Hong Fa Temple in the Xianhu Botanical Garden in Shenzhen, China during Chinese New Years (February 14, 2010). It is so packed with people that you are literally shoved along. Near the end of the film, you get some sneaky shots of the oldest monk in the world (103 years old at the time), located in Shenzhen, China. The monk's name in PinYin is BenHuan, and he passed away at age 105 (April 2, 2012). The garden is also called "Fairy Lake" in Chinese.

You can see the long bus trip to this temple (and see the monk at 100 years old) here:
