This year marks the first year that Chinese Spring Festival has been officially listed as a UN floating holiday. From a Chinese traditional folk festival to a UN floating holiday, the Spring Festival, as an important part of traditional Chinese culture, is showing its unique charm and influence to the world. The correspondents of Great Wall International Communication Center from the United States, Russia, the United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Nigeria and other countries have recently sent reports on how locals celebrate Chinese Spring Festival.

Grigorovskaya Alina, a student at Russia's Kalmyk State University, is a fan of Chinese culture. During the Spring Festival, Alina introduced cultures about Chinese Spring Festival to her friends and relatives in Elista City, Russia. She told them the story of Chinese "Nian" and pasted spring couplets at home. Apart from that, she showed them how to make dumplings--the staple food that will not be absent for the New Year's Eve dinner in China, please click the video to take a look.
