Hey fam! 🎉 A brand-new Spring Festival exhibition just opened at the Chinese Traditional Culture Museum in Beijing, bringing Lunar New Year vibes to life. If you've celebrated Tet in Vietnam, Seollal in the Republic of Korea, or watched lion dances in Singapore's Chinatown, you'll feel right at home.
Wander through lantern-lit galleries showcasing intricate paper-cutting art, fiery red couplets, and traditional New Year decor. Dive into hands-on workshops: craft your own lantern, master calligraphy with auspicious characters, or learn steps of the yangge folk dance.
Foodies, rejoice! 🍜 Sample juicy dumplings, sweet rice cakes (nian gao), and crispy spring rolls. Every bite tells a story—like families in Yunnan creating colourful rice to welcome spring.
Tech enthusiasts, don't miss the VR zone 🚀: embark on a virtual tour of historical New Year markets, play digital mahjong, or step into a buzzing temple fair complete with drumming and acrobatics.
Perfect for friends, date nights, or solo adventures, the exhibit runs until mid-March 2026. Mark your calendars and experience the magic of the Spring Festival like never before! 🧧✨
