The countdown to the 2025 Spring Festival Gala has officially begun! 🌟 China Media Group (CMG) held its third rehearsal on Friday, and it's safe to say that the world is in for a treat come January 28, the eve of the Chinese New Year.
This year's gala is pulling out all the stops with four dazzling sub-venues making their debut: Chongqing, Wuhan, Lhasa, and Wuxi. Each city brought its unique flavor to the stage, blending tradition with modernity in a way that's totally binge-worthy!
Chongqing wowed the audience with songs and dances bursting with local vibes, while Wuhan infused new opera, acrobatics, folk music, and classic film and TV IPs into their performances. Talk about a cultural mashup!
Wuxi took us on a nostalgic journey, connecting traditional music with contemporary scene interpretations. It was a beautiful blend of history and modern civilization. And let's not forget Lhasa, whose authentic ethnic performances showcased the warm friendship between people of all ethnic groups. ❤️
But wait, there's more! CGTN has launched an interactive event called Snake Year Dance Fun 🐍💃 on global social media platforms. So far, netizens from 42 countries and regions are grooving along, and you can join the party too!
CMG is also kicking off a series of events, including art performances, intangible cultural heritage experiences, and program broadcasts. The goal? To let overseas audiences, like us, soak up the festive vibes and the enchanting charm of Chinese culture.
The festivities have already started in New York and are set to light up places like Kenya, Spain, Brazil, Australia, France, Russia, and the United Arab Emirates. So no matter where you are, get ready to experience the magic of the Spring Festival! ✨
