Kuala Lumpur lit up this weekend as the 2025 'Happy Chinese New Year' global celebrations kicked off with a dazzling ceremony and multicultural gala! 🌟 Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim joined China's Culture and Tourism Minister Sun Yeli to inaugurate the event with a traditional 'lion's eye-dotting' ritual—symbolizing blessings and new beginnings.
Over 500 events will unfold in 100+ countries this year, marking the first Spring Festival since UNESCO recognized it as an Intangible Cultural Heritage. 🏮 The Kuala Lumpur gala featured artists from China, Malaysia, the UK, France, the U.S., and beyond, blending dragon dances, music, and theatrical acts into what one attendee called 'a cultural Coachella for Lunar New Year fans.'
✨ Pro tip: Keep an eye out for pop-up lantern exhibitions and digital AR displays in major cities—this year's lineup is all about mixing tradition with tech!
