The Chinese New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, is just a week away and stands as the most significant holiday for Chinese residents. One of the cherished traditions during this time is the act of bringing home regional specialties to celebrate the New Year with family.
To delve deeper into this tradition, CGTN's Xu Xinchen visited Chengdudong Railway Station in Chengdu City, one of the busiest stations in southwest China's Chengdu. During the bustling holiday period, travelers can be seen purchasing a variety of local specialties ranging from delicious snacks to handmade crafts, each symbolizing prosperity and good fortune for the coming year.
The vibrant atmosphere at Chengdudong Railway Station reflects the heart of Spring Festival celebrations, where the exchange of regional specialties fosters a sense of community and cultural appreciation. As families reunite and share these unique goods, they not only honor their local heritage but also embrace the spirit of togetherness that defines the Spring Festival.
