It’s Jan 1, 2026… As the world welcomes day one of 2026, China Media Group (CMG) has rolled out a multimedia lineup that fuses culture, creativity and next-generation tech. If you’re scrolling on your phone right now, you’re in for a treat! 🙌
The celebration kicked off on Dec 31 with the 2026 CMG New Year’s Eve Gala. Broadcast live across multiple platforms, it highlighted how culture and tourism join forces to spotlight the booming Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, the vibrant Yangtze River Delta, and the innovative Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
Expect a whirlwind of song and dance, jaw-dropping drone light shows, and intangibles—think traditional shadow puppetry, delicate paper-cutting art, Peking Opera snippets, and electrifying martial arts demos. 🎭🕺 Behind the scenes, cutting-edge stage design used XR (extended reality) to immerse viewers in ever-changing virtual sets—it’s like cinema meeting live performance!
Streaming at 5G speed with interactive features—polls, real-time chats, and AR filters—you can be part of the show from your living room or the café down the street. For young creators and culture buffs, CMG’s lineup is a masterclass in blending heritage with innovation: you’ll find snippets of Uygur dance, bamboo flute solos, plus the latest indie music collabs from across the region.
Whether you’re into tech, travel, or tradition, CMG’s 2026 New Year programming has something for you. Stay tuned on mobile and get ready to be inspired—this year’s journey is just beginning! 🚀✨
