Posting Spring Festival couplets, writing blessing characters, visiting lantern festivals, and tasting delicious food... Shanghai is full of joy and lively on the first day of the Lunar New Year. People inadvertently discovered that "New Year" is not only a matter for the Chinese, but also attracting global attention. Not only is the "Spring Festival fever" emerging overseas, but more and more foreign friends come to China to celebrate the Spring Festival.

From 144 hours to 240 hours, China has continuously optimized the visa-free policy for transit, improved entry efficiency, and improved service measures such as mobile payment. Not only are most attractions free of reservations, but travel and shopping also make people feel at home.

The combination of traditional culture and modern civilization has made foreign friends sigh "time and space travel" and "incredible". The charm of the "Demon City" is fascinating, and has also allowed more foreign tourists to start in-depth tours in China from Shanghai.

Celebrating the New Year in China, these foreign friends fell in love with Chinese traditional culture, China's modern and beautiful scenery, and even more like enthusiastic and sincere Chinese people.

Through the window of the Spring Festival, traditional culture and openness and inclusion are integrated, allowing the whole world to see the wonderfulness of China.
