As the Chinese New Year approaches, the Foreign Affairs Office of Xiamen Municipal People's Government organized a 2024 Spring Festival event themed "Together for a Good Start 'Xiamen Now' Loong Year Gathering" to create a festive atmosphere for expatriates in the city.
On Jan 27, 22 foreigners from 15 countries participated in the event. They visited the century-old commercial street Zhongshan Road, as well as historical attractions such as Jiangxia Ancestral Hall, Jinlu Jewelry, Huang Zehe Peanut Soup, and Babao Dan, to learn about the preservation and development of commercial civilization.
The foreign guests also participated in traditional Chinese New Year activities such as making lanterns, writing Spring Festival couplets, and tea ceremonies and sampled a variety of local delicacies.
The event served as a platform for exchanges and interactions with foreigners in Xiamen and provided an opportunity to listen to suggestions and opinions on the city's development.
