U.S. Vlogger Captures Wuhan’s Vibrant Chinese New Year Spirit

Marissa, an American vlogger based in Wuhan City, is giving the world a front-row seat to the city’s buzzing Chinese New Year celebrations . After three years of navigating pandemic policy shifts, she hit the streets to document Wuhan’s post-optimization glow-up—think bustling markets, lantern-lit parks, and locals stocking up on festive treats like tangyuan and niangao .

'The energy here is electric,' Marissa says in her latest video, panning to crowds laughing under cherry-red decorations. 'It’s like the whole city is dancing again.' From spontaneous lion dance flash mobs to grandmothers haggling for dried chili peppers, her clips showcase a Wuhan that’s equal parts resilient and radiant.

With 2023 travel plans already brewing, Marissa teases more cross-cultural adventures: 'China’s reopening its doors—and my camera’s ready.'
