🎉 Hey, globe-trotters and culture enthusiasts! Did you know that China is already gearing up for the Spring Festival? On Thursday, they kicked off the celebrations with Xiao Nian, also known as the \"Little Chinese New Year.\"
The Spring Festival is a BIG deal in China, kinda like the ultimate family reunion and holiday rolled into one.
