The Spring Festival of 2025 marks the first "World Intangible Cultural Heritage Edition" of the festival following its successful inclusion in the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list. Known as the "City of Gastronomy" and the "City of Kung Fu," Foshan promotes its traditional culture and invites global tourists by releasing multilingual cultural tourism films in Chinese, English, and Portuguese just before the Chinese New Year.
Located in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Foshan is a city with a rich history and a key origin of Lingnan Guangfu culture. Renowned for Cantonese opera, kung fu, dragon boat races, lion and dragon dances, pottery, cuisine, and Qiuse events, Foshan showcases this ancient city's profound heritage and charm to the world.
To welcome visitors from across the globe, Foshan has recently launched its "Fu Xi" cultural tourism IP, premium travel routes, and a series of Spring Festival cultural tourism activities under the theme "Celebrate the New Year in Foshan." More than 700 vibrant events will take place in and around Foshan during this festive period, offering an unforgettable cultural journey for all.
