Chinese actress Chang Chun-ning has revealed why this year's Spring Festival Gala is turning heads worldwide. During rehearsals for the 2026 cultural extravaganza, she emphasized how cutting-edge technology—like holographic stages and AI-powered performances—is amplifying traditional Lunar New Year storytelling. 🎭💡
"The Gala isn't just a show; it's a bridge between generations and continents," Chang said, noting a 40% surge in foreign visitors attending live rehearsals this year. Many travelers are reportedly booking "cultural tech tours" to experience China's festive innovations firsthand. 🧧✈️
With Uygur dance troupes sharing screen time with robot dragons and VR lantern displays, the 2026 edition aims to be the most globally accessible yet. As Chang put it: "When tradition meets TikTok-era tech, magic happens." 🐉📱
