      Orchid-themed dance performance enchants viewers during Spring Festival Gala

      A traditional Chinese folk dance themed on orchids enchanted audiences during the China Media Group (CMG)'s Spring Festival Gala which ushered in the Year of the Snake on Wednesday, creating a serene and captivating atmosphere during the festive celebrations.

      The grand television show has integrated traditional culture with innovative means to entertain audiences on the eve of the Chinese New Year, with many memorable on-stage performances featuring during the annual variety show.

      The orchid has been a favorite flower of the Chinese people since ancient times, as it embodies a quiet, modest character and symbolizes strength and resilience.

      The gala performance, which was given by dancers from the Zhejiang Conservatory of Music, enthralled viewers with its subtle, rhythmic movements and smooth, graceful transitions.

      With the Spring Festival's recent inscription onto UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage list, this year's gala integrated more elements of intangible cultural heritage to create a cultural feast for global audiences.

      The gala, also known as "Chunwan", was first broadcast back in 1983 and is seen as a major cultural symbol for the traditional Spring Festival celebrations in China.

      Recognized by the Guinness World Records as the world's most-watched annual TV program, the hours-long television extravaganza attracts over a billion views every year.

      China's first domestically built large cruise ship, Adora Magic City, has completed 90 journeys and welcomed over 650,000 tourists since beginning its commercial operation over a year ago.

      The cruise ship, which embarked on its maiden voyage on Jan 1, 2024, is 323.6 meters long with a gross tonnage of 135,500 tons and can accommodate up to 5,246 passengers in 2,125 guest rooms.

      Nearly 5,000 tourists have boarded the ship for a trip from Shanghai to Japan and South Korea for this year's Spring Festival holiday.

      This year, the ship plans to visit multiple cruise ports in China and embark on themed voyages along the country's coast.

      With its long industrial chain and a high degree of internationalization, the cruise industry is often called "the golden industry that floats." Over 1,000 domestic and foreign manufacturers were involved in building Adora Magic City.

      Meanwhile, China's second homegrown large cruise ship is expected to be delivered by the end of 2026 and will start international journeys from Guangzhou in 2027.
