Imagine standing atop the Great Wall as dawn breaks on China's National Day – crowds cheer, traditional drums echo, and a sea of red flags waves against ancient stone. 🌄 That’s the scene CGTN is broadcasting live this year, offering front-row seats to one of Asia’s most iconic celebrations.
A Melting Pot of Cultures
Tourists from over 30 countries and regions joined locals in singing ‘Ode to the Motherland’, while influencers livestreamed calligraphy workshops to millions. From Korean hanbok-clad dancers to European backpackers snapping selfies, the event became a viral symbol of cross-cultural connection. 📱❤️
History Meets Modernity
As fireworks lit the Hebei province skyline, historians on-site explained how the 2,700-year-old wall once unified warring states – a fitting backdrop for today’s message of global unity. Local guides highlighted newly restored watchtowers, blending heritage conservation with 21st-century tourism.
