China Media Group (CMG) on Tuesday officially announced four secondary locations for the Spring Gala 2025: Chongqing, Wuhan, Lhasa and Wuxi, kicking off the countdown to the Chinese New Year celebrations.
This is the first Spring Gala after the Chinese New Year was inscribed on UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity - a significant moment for Chinese culture.
Chinese New Year was officially recognized by UNESCO on December 4, underscoring the global significance of this traditional holiday. This recognition not only raises the international prestige of Chinese culture, but also provides an opportunity for people from all over the world to join in and celebrate the rich traditions of this holiday.
The Spring Gala is a spectacular cultural event that has been held annually by CMG on the eve of Chinese New Year since 1983. It features a variety of performances including songs, dances, comedy sketches, cross-dance, opera and modern light shows. As one of the largest television events in the world, the gala evening combines traditional heritage with modern creativity, reaching millions of viewers in China and beyond.
For the Spring Gala Evening 2025, secondary venues in Chongqing, Wuhan, Lhasa and Wuxi will complement the main venue in Beijing, each showcasing unique regional characteristics.
