With Spring Festival 2026 just weeks away, China is buzzing with festive energy! 🌟 In Shanghai, flower markets are packed with young shoppers opting for low-maintenance potted plants like orchids and succulents to brighten their homes. "It's about freshness that lasts through the holiday," says local resident Li Mei, 24, while holding a lucky bamboo plant.
Meanwhile, in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, a dragon lantern workshop is working overtime 🏭 to meet booming demand. Workers craft dozens of vibrant lanterns daily, with orders flooding in from across the Chinese mainland and overseas markets. The lanterns, symbolizing prosperity, are particularly popular this year as communities worldwide prepare Lunar New Year celebrations.
This blend of tradition and modern consumer trends highlights how China’s most cherished holiday continues evolving while staying rooted in cultural heritage. 🐉✨
