On the day of the Lantern Festival, 50 international students from over 10 countries gathered at the Dalian Urban Music Center in Liaoning for a special cultural salon, embarking on an immersive journey into Chinese festive traditions.

The students wandered through vibrant Chinese New Year woodblock prints and intangible cultural heritage exhibits to appreciate the profound Chinese New Year customs. Traditional Chinese musical instrument performances were staged in turn, conveying the warmth of reunion with the elegance of the East.
