Many families are shaking things up this year

#getgoing2025 Today marks the start of the Year of the Snake, and across China, people are celebrating in their own unique ways. From vibrant street performances to traditional folk activities, the festive spirit is everywhere. This year is extra special – it's the first Spring Festival since its inscription on the UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity and the first with the new extended eight-day holiday starting from New Year's Eve. Many families are shaking things up this year, opting to visit attractions together after their reunion dinner.
