Chinese New Year Added to UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage List

China is a country of boundless cultural charm. The 2025 Lunar Year of the Snake marks the first Chinese New Year since the Spring Festival was successfully listed as Intangible Cultural Heritage. The live broadcast took viewers on a virtual tour of China's rich traditional culture, shaped by over 5,000 years of civilization.

Every corner of China's land tells a story. The broadcast featured dazzling cultural performances from across the country, each offering a unique Lunar New Year greeting to audiences at home and abroad from beautiful China.
