During the Spring Festival, Chinese people use folk activities to express their good wishes for the coming new year. Tomas, a vlogger from the Netherlands, celebrated the arrival of the Year of the Dragon by embarking on a boat trip as part of Hangzhou's \"songfu\" New Year event series.
\"Songfu\" in Chinese means sending blessings, and \"song\" also refers to the Song Dynasty. Tomas cruised along the mighty Grand Canal, exploring popular spots and immersing himself in the rich cultural heritage of the city.
\"I'm glad I learned about the 'songfu' New Year city trip, otherwise I wouldn't have known about all these historic sites,\" Tomas shared, highlighting the significance of experiencing traditional festivities firsthand.
