Festive frenzy: Spring Festival ignites China’s economy
CGTN recently published an article exploring how the extended eight-day Spring Festival spurred a surge in Chinese consumption. With more time to travel and spend, the holiday created a boom for businesses across the country. The article also highlighted the immense excitement for six highly anticipated blockbusters that hit theaters during the holiday, reflecting the growing cultural importance of cinema and its role in boosting the economy.
Festive frenzy: Spring Festival ignites China’s economy
Stocking up on Chinese New Year goods, visiting loved ones, indulging in reunion feasts and attending vibrant temple fairs – China’s Spring Festival, the most cherished traditional celebration, is not only a time for family reunions, but has also become a major driver of consumption.
This year, with the Chinese government designating New Year’s Eve as a statutory holiday, the Spring Festival holiday has been extended to eight days, creating even more opportunities for businesses to thrive.
Extended holiday fuels tourism boom
The eight-day holiday has sparked people’s tourism enthusiasm. According to the Ministry of Transport, this year’s Spring Festival travel rush is expected to set new records in total trips. Over the 40-day period, cross-regional travel is projected to reach 9 billion trips.
During this Spring Festival, many Chinese opted for both family reunions and travel. “The longer holiday gives me the flexibility to both visit family and take a trip,” said Fang Ying from Lanzhou City, Gansu Province, who plans to reunite with her family before heading to Japan for skiing.
Flight booking data from Qunar, a Chinese online travel agency, reveals that 50 percent more travelers are purchasing multiple tickets compared to last year, thanks to the extended break.
As this is the first Spring Festival following its inclusion in UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, destinations with unique local traditional cultural activities are drawing increasing crowds. Famous events like Quanzhou’s puppet shows, Shantou’s Yingge dance and the Yuyuan Garden Lantern Festival in Shanghai are becoming must-see attractions for both locals and tourists alike.
Outbound tourism has also reached new heights. According to Qunar, Chinese tourists visited over 2,100 cities worldwide, a 50-percent increase from last year. Ctrip, another online travel agency, reports that cross-border travel orders on the holiday’s first day were up by more than 30 percent. Top destinations include Japan, Thailand, the U.S., Singapore, Australia and Vietnam.
Foreign tourists join the festivities in China
Thanks to relaxed visa policies, such as the “240-hour visa-free transit” rule, more international visitors are choosing to visit China during the Spring Festival. Ctrip’s data shows a remarkable 203 percent year-on-year increase in inbound travel orders during the holiday, with tourists flocking from countries including South Korea, Japan, the U.S., Australia and the UK.
To enrich the visitor experience, many attractions have introduced special Spring Festival activities. For instance, Chengdu’s Wuhou Temple hosted a festive “Little Fortune God” event, where six foreign children were chosen as the “Little Fortune God,” a symbolic role believed to bring good fortune to themselves and their families in the year ahead.
A visitor from Singapore shared her experience with the China Media Group: “I heard the Yuyuan Garden Lantern Festival is a must-see event in Shanghai, and it truly lives up to its reputation.” This is her first trip to China, and she has already tried local delicacies like “da bing” (Chinese pancake), “you tiao” (fried dough sticks), “cifan” (glutinous rice rolls) and “dou jiang” (soy milk) in other Chinese cities.
To make travel easier for international visitors, many apps have launched their English versions. For example, Baidu Maps has introduced its English version, providing detailed information on over 1.5 million points of interest, from restaurants to shopping centers, helping eliminate language barriers.
Spring Festival film frenzy
While many travelers are exploring the world, others are enjoying China’s exciting Spring Festival film lineup.
This year’s movie season boasts several highly anticipated blockbusters, including “Ne Zha 2,” “Detective Chinatown 1900,” “Creation of the Gods II,” “The Legend of the Condor Heroes,” “Operation Hadal” and “Boonie Bears.” These movies span genres such as animation, mythology, martial arts, suspense and action.
On the first day of the Chinese New Year (January 29), box office revenue reached a record-breaking 1.806 billion yuan (about $251 million), surpassing the 2021 record of 1.693 billion yuan. By January 31, total box office earnings, including pre-sales, had already exceeded 4 billion yuan, with “Ne Zha 2” leading the pack at 1.3 billion yuan.
The success of these films underscores the rising popularity of domestic intellectual properties (IPs), signaling a promising future for the Chinese film industry. Analysts believe this trend will continue to fuel the growth of creative new works, further establishing Chinese film IPs as powerful global brands.

United States, 5th Dec 2025 – Mary Drucker Palm Beach, a dedicated dental assistant and lifelong local, is taking community care beyond the exam room. Known for her attention to detail and patient-first approach, Mary Drucker has extended her commitment to oral health to the wider Palm Beach community by launching volunteer efforts to increase access to dental hygiene education and care for underserved residents.
With over a decade of experience in dental care, Mary Drucker Palm Beach understands the crucial role dental assistants play in helping patients feel comfortable, informed, and safe. She also sees what many in the industry don’t: how gaps in basic dental knowledge can impact long-term health, especially in communities with limited access to preventive care.
“Dental health isn’t a luxury. It’s a foundation for overall wellness,” said Mary Drucker Palm Beach. “And yet, so many people, including children and seniors, still lack access to basic information and resources. I knew I could do something about that.”
In partnership with local nonprofits, faith-based organizations, and independent hygienists, Drucker has begun organizing small-scale events across the Palm Beach area. These include free oral health workshops, children’s dental education programs, and mobile screenings that offer guidance on cavity prevention, flossing, and nutrition.
Most recently, Mary Drucker Palm Beach joined a weekend clinic effort that provided dental kits, oral health screenings, and hygiene education to more than 100 local residents. Many of those participants had not seen a dentist in several years.
“I may not be the dentist, but as a dental assistant, I’m trained to teach people how to care for their teeth between appointments,” she said. “That’s where health really begins, in the day-to-day.”
Colleagues in the Palm Beach dental community have taken notice. Several local practices have expressed interest in joining future events, contributing supplies, or offering time from their own staff.
Mary Drucker Palm Beach is also working with school administrators to bring oral health education into classrooms, a move she says is critical to establishing good habits early.
“A child who learns how to care for their teeth grows into an adult who values prevention,” she said. “It’s not just about cleanings and checkups. It’s about changing mindsets.”
Beyond education, Drucker hopes her outreach helps demystify dental care for people who may feel anxious or ashamed.
“Everyone deserves to feel safe and respected in the dental chair,” she said. “If I can help ease that fear, even for one person, that’s meaningful.”
Those who know Mary Drucker Palm Beach describe her as calm, efficient, and deeply compassionate. She is the kind of person who doesn’t just clock in and out but takes time to learn patients’ names and stories.
“She’s the heart of the clinic,” said one colleague. “Patients trust her because she listens, and because she genuinely cares.”
For Mary Drucker Palm Beach, the work is personal.
“This is my home,” she said. “The people I serve aren’t just patients. They’re my neighbors and my community. Giving back isn’t extra. It’s essential.”
About Mary Drucker Palm Beach
Mary Drucker Palm Beach is a certified dental assistant based in Palm Beach, Florida. With a strong background in patient care and preventive education, she volunteers regularly across the region to help increase access to oral health knowledge and resources for underserved communities.
