China Media Group (CMG) has revealed its special programming for two of China's most cherished holidays: National Day and the Mid-Autumn Festival. From grand live broadcasts to intimate cultural showcases, these specials aim to unite audiences of all ages.
On October 1, audiences around the world can tune in to "Sunrise in the East," a live sunrise ceremony from Tiananmen Square. As the first rays of light illuminate one of the world's most iconic public spaces, viewers will be invited to witness the dawn of a new year of progress and unity.
The lineup continues with the 2025 National Day Special, a carefully crafted program that celebrates national achievements through powerful storytelling, cinematic montages, and interviews with key figures. It promises to offer a fresh perspective on the milestones shaping modern China.
As families gather under glowing lanterns, the Mid-Autumn Gala will light up screens with cultural performances ranging from traditional folk music to contemporary dance. With themes of reunion and harmony at its core, the gala extends wishes of peace and prosperity to millions celebrating far and wide.
By blending live events, cultural narration, and innovative production, CMG's holiday specials aim to transcend borders, inviting global viewers to share in the spirit of togetherness that defines both festivals. Whether you're a digital nomad in Shanghai or a movie buff in Madrid, the celebrations promise an immersive experience that honors heritage while looking toward the future.
