The 2024 Spring Festival Gala for the Chinese and Foreigners was held in Yiwu on January 22 with the theme of “New Year, New Journey.” 135 international merchants from 37 countries and nearly 100 representatives from all walks of life of Yiwu gathered to celebrate the upcoming Chinese New Year.
Foreign Embassies and Consulates General in China, sister cities of Yiwu, and UCLG ASPAC sent their greetings by pre-recorded videos to wish the people of Yiwu a happy and prosperous new year.
Fantastic art and cultural performances, such as the face-changing Sichuan Opera, traditional Chinese music (Guzheng performance), Latin Dance, balancing art, singing, etc. brought the Gala to a rousing climax. Alight with joy and happiness, the Chinese and foreign friends attending jointly made a wish for good health and great luck in the Year of the Dragon.
