Spring Festival Highlights | Ancient Charms, New Year Flavors: Heritage Ignites the Festive Season

Beijing’s historic Qianmen Street has illuminated the winter night with a spectacular array of crimson lanterns and lively fairs, turning the ancient commercial district into a vibrant stage for cultural heritage and holiday joy. Visiting on February 2, from the retro trams trundling past the Zhengyang Bridge to the traditional sugar figurines and mouth-watering snacks in Xianyukou Hutong, visitors like Ms. Liu find that the dazzling interplay of phoenix lanterns and ancient architecture not only provides a stunning backdrop for photos but also immerses them in the authentic "flavor" of the Lunar New Year.（Photo by Zhang Jiao/China Youth Daily)
