Why do foreigners fall in love with China Festival?

This year's Spring Festival, one of the highlights of China's tourism industry is that more and more foreign tourists choose to spend their holidays in China and feel the rich and warm traditional Spring Festival flavor of China.

Qin Shihuang Mausoleum Museum, Huaqing Palace, Famen Temple and other major scenic spots in Xi received a large number of foreign tourists during the Spring Festival holiday. More than 200 foreign tourists from the United States, Britain, France, Australia and South Korea were invited to climb the Xi 'an City Wall to experience the old customs with China people. John, a British tourist, said in slightly blunt Chinese: "It's so lucky to visit Xi 'an during the Spring Festival. The Spring Festival in China is so beautiful! I love China, especially the Spring Festival in Xi 'an. "

During the Spring Festival, 160 foreign tourists from more than 20 countries and regions such as Portugal, the United States and Britain participated in activities such as writing Spring Festival couplets, cutting spring flowers, dancing dragons and making rice cakes with local people in Yanming Village, Shangtian Town, Fenghua District, Ningbo, and experienced an authentic rural Spring Festival in Zhejiang. I watched the dragon dance performance, tasted yellow cakes, and tried the traditional customs of China, such as grinding soybeans, making rice cakes and cutting window flowers. Anina from India repeatedly praised: "The year of China is great!"

Not only do foreign tourists like to celebrate the Spring Festival, but other traditional festivals in China, such as Lantern Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Dragon Boat Festival, also attract them. Statistics show that Americans like two festivals in China best, one is the Spring Festival, and the other is the Mid-Autumn Festival. They like the excitement of the Spring Festival, the mouth-watering moon cakes and the beautiful legends of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

More than 50 Canadian tourists experienced the Mid-Autumn Festival on the high-speed train in China last year. They tasted the moon cakes sent by the train conductor, and listened to the train conductor explain the cultural connotation of the moon cakes in English: "Today, the Mid-Autumn Festival is a day for China people to reunite with moon cakes and wish their families happiness ..." Canadian tourists understood the significance of the Mid-Autumn Festival and took photos with their mobile phones to commemorate it, feeling the charm of China festival culture.
