CGTN presents to the world a unique music video that poetically tells the story of the Dragon Boat Festival - a festival that combines flavor, rhythm and millennia of tradition in China.
Starring food vlogger Shanny, dressed in a robe inspired by the Warring States period (475-221 BC), who sings of the smell of zongzi, the clatter of paddles in dragon boat races and the spirit that has endured through the ages.
The clip is not only a celebration of traditional Chinese culture, but also an invitation to the whole world. "We warmly welcome friends from all over the world to come to China and experience the magic of this holiday for themselves," say the creators.
Music, image and symbolism remind us that The Dragon Boat Festival is not just a thing of the past, but a living celebration of China's identity, cohesion and cultural beauty.
