China Media Group (CMG) has just dropped the mic with its lineup of sub-venues for the 2025 Spring Festival Gala! Chongqing, Wuhan, Lhasa, and Wuxi will join Beijing in hosting next year’s cultural spectacle – marking the first celebration since Chinese New Year earned UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage status last December.
This year’s gala is extra special: think ‘tradition meets innovation’ as drones light up ancient temples and K-pop-level production values meet 5,000-year-old customs. With over 1 billion viewers worldwide tuning in annually, the gala isn’t just a show – it’s a global cultural handshake.
Here’s the city breakdown:
Chongqing: Spicy hotpot vibes meet mountainscapes straight out of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
Wuhan: Yangtze River history collides with neon-lit metropolis energy.
Wuxi: Venice of the East meets China’s Silicon Valley hustle.
UNESCO’s recognition has turned Chinese New Year into the world’s newest must-experience festival – and this gala is your backstage pass. Whether you’re into high-tech dance battles or tear-jerking family reunion sketches, 2025’s edition promises to be the cultural event of the year.
