As red lanterns light up Shenzhen’s streets, Venezuelan content creator Rafael Saavedra is diving headfirst into Spring Festival prep—and it’s extra special this year. Why? The upcoming Year of the Dragon marks his animal zodiac year, a cosmic coincidence after eight years of calling the Chinese mainland home!
Armed with his camera, Rafael hit a buzzing New Year market to stock up on Fu (福) decals and couplets. \"I want my apartment to scream ‘good fortune’ in every corner,\" he laughed, holding up a glittering dragon-themed decoration.
From bargaining for mandarin oranges ( a must for prosperity!) to decoding traditional idioms on red scrolls, Rafael’s vlog-ready journey blends curiosity with cross-cultural joy. \"Spring Festival isn’t just about rituals—it’s about warmth, family, and fresh starts,\" he shared.
His takeaway? \"Whether you’re from Caracas or Chengdu, celebrating traditions together? That’s pure magic.\"
