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.

Explora Books has arranged a meeting between author Melvin Schoenberg and a film producer to explore a possible screen adaptation of Journey to Forever. The novel’s distinctive mix of advanced science, human connection, and philosophical curiosity has made it an appealing candidate for visual storytelling.
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 6th Dec 2025 – Instead of relying on traditional narrative chapters, Journey to Forever unfolds through 27 logs written by Aaron, the expedition’s Scribe. This structure gives the book a steady, observational rhythm—part field report, part personal reflection. The logs track not just events, but the mental and emotional shifts that occur during a century-long mission where technology, isolation, and purpose constantly shape the crew’s lives.
What sets the book apart is the way it blends scientific detail with questions about perception, coincidence, and connection. Schoenberg grounds the story in practical technology—hibernation cycles that slow aging, fusion rocketry, engineered food sources, and the concept of antimatter-driven wormholes—while keeping the focus on how people adapt to these tools over generations. The novel treats science not as spectacle, but as the framework the characters rely on to survive.
One of the book’s most intriguing threads is a recurring melody—a ngunn—that links Aaron with Thurgood Seattle, a former football player on Earth. Both hum the same tune when thinking through complex problems, especially their parallel propulsion ideas. The phenomenon is presented without dramatics: just a quiet signal between distant minds that raises questions about intuition, entanglement, and the thin lines that connect people across space.
The novel also explores how long-term missions reshape social norms. Relationships, communication, and even the crew’s understanding of time evolve as their lives stretch far beyond the reach of immediate feedback from Earth. Aaron’s logs often read like a study of how humans maintain purpose when the familiar rules of community, parenting, and work no longer apply.
The log-based structure, the emphasis on scientific problem-solving, and the book’s interest in connection and coincidence make Journey to Forever a distinctive work, and these qualities helped prompt the recent meeting between Schoenberg and the producer. The discussion focused on exploring how the material might translate to the screen, with no commitments made at this stage.
Journey to Forever is available in major bookstores nationwide. Visit Explora Books for more information.

L.A. Construction Custom Screen Builders announces expanded services for homeowners seeking a high-quality pool screen enclosure in Longwood, FL. The company specializes in custom aluminum designs that enhance property value and provide durable protection against Florida’s pests and weather.
Winter Springs, Florida, United States, 6th Dec 2025 – As homeowners in Central Florida continue to seek ways to maximize their outdoor living spaces while battling the elements, L.A. Construction Custom Screen Builders is proud to announce its expanded focus on delivering high-end, custom-designed pool enclosures in the Longwood area. With a reputation built on structural integrity and aesthetic precision, the company is transforming what it means to enjoy the Florida lifestyle, bug-free and protected from debris.
For residents of Longwood, the backyard swimming pool is a staple of daily life. However, without adequate protection, maintaining that pool can become a daily chore involving leaves, insects, and harsh UV rays. L.A. Construction Custom Screen Builders addresses these challenges head-on by providing top-tier engineering and design services, ensuring that every enclosure is not just a cage, but an extension of the home.
Enhancing Outdoor Living in Longwood
Florida’s climate, while beautiful, presents unique challenges for homeowners. The intense sun, frequent rainstorms, and presence of mosquitoes and other pests can limit the usability of patios and pools. A professionally designed pool cage builder does more than just screen in an area; they create a sanctuary. L.A. Construction utilizes advanced aluminum structures and high-visibility screen materials to ensure that views remain unobstructed while protection remains absolute.
“We understand that a pool is a significant investment for any homeowner,” says Luke Adams, owner of L.A. Construction Custom Screen Builders. “Our goal is to protect that investment and enhance the homeowner’s quality of life. Whether it is a two-story mansard roof or a sleek picture window design, we build structures that stand up to Florida weather while looking incredible.”
Residents looking for a specific pool screen enclosure in Longwood, FL are often concerned with durability and wind resistance. L.A. Construction addresses these concerns by adhering to the strictest building codes. Using heavy-gauge aluminum and high-grade stainless steel fasteners, the company ensures longevity even in the face of seasonal storms. This commitment to quality prevents the common issues of sagging screens and rusted bolts that often plague inferior builds.
Custom Designs Meet Structural Integrity
No two homes in Longwood are exactly alike, and neither should their screen enclosures be. As a premier custom pool screen specialist, L.A. Construction moves beyond “cookie-cutter” kits. They offer a variety of roof styles—including dome, gable, and mansard—to complement the architectural lines of the existing residence.
The company also offers specialized screening options. From standard Phifer 18/14 mesh for maximum airflow to “No-See-Um” screens (20/20 mesh) designed to keep out the tiniest of pests, homeowners have the power to customize their environment. For those with pets, pet-resistant screens provide added durability against claws and paws, ensuring the safety of both the enclosure and the animals.
Beyond new construction, the company is also a leader in restoration. Over time, older enclosures may suffer from paint oxidation or screen deterioration. L.A. Construction provides comprehensive restoration services, including repainting and rescreening, which can revitalize an aging structure for a fraction of the cost of a rebuild.

Choosing a local contractor is vital for ensuring compliance with Longwood’s specific zoning and HOA requirements. L.A.

Holiday Ice, Inc. Sets New Standard in High-Volume Ice Production with the Arctic-Temp 1000 SM-L Industrial Ice Machine
Holiday Ice, Inc. highlights the Arctic-Temp 1000 SM-L, a skid-mounted industrial ice machine designed for harsh environments and high-volume needs. Featuring double-surface freezing technology and durable stainless steel construction, it offers a reliable alternative to complex 7000 lbs ice machines for hard cracked ice production.
Longwood, FL, United States, 6th Dec 2025 – Businesses requiring reliable, high-volume ice production often face a difficult choice between efficiency and durability. Addressing this critical industrial need, Holiday Ice, Inc. is proud to spotlight its flagship solution for large-scale operations: the Arctic-Temp 1000 SM-L. Designed to withstand the harshest environments while delivering premium hard-cracked ice, this machine represents over 60 years of engineering expertise.
The demand for robust ice manufacturing has never been higher, particularly in sectors such as seafood processing, produce transport, and concrete cooling. The Arctic-Temp 1000 SM-L Industrial Ice Machine answers this call with a skid-mounted design that emphasizes “rugged simplicity.” Unlike competitor models that rely on complex electronics and fragile moving parts, the 1000 SM-L is built to perform consistently, ensuring that production lines and supply chains remain uninterrupted.
Redefining Industrial Capacity and Efficiency
At the heart of the 1000 SM-L is its impressive production capability. While many units struggle to maintain output in fluctuating temperatures, this model is engineered to deliver approximately 6,500 lbs of hard cracked ice every 24 hours. For facility managers seeking a robust alternative that rivals the output of a 7000 lbs industrial ice machine, the 1000 SM-L offers a competitive edge by combining this high capacity with a compact, skid-mounted footprint that simplifies installation.
The machine utilizes Holiday Ice’s signature vertical tube technology. This unique design features double-walled cylindrical evaporators that allow ice to form on both the inside and outside surfaces. This “double surface freezing” method maximizes heat exchange efficiency, resulting in faster production cycles and lower energy consumption per pound of hard cracked ice produced.
“Our goal has always been to eliminate the headaches associated with commercial ice making,” says Lauren Harbit of Holiday Ice, Inc. “The 1000 SM-L removes the most common failure points. There are no moving parts in the freezing zone—no augers, no gears, and no seals to leak or break. It is purely about consistent, high-volume output.”
Built for the Toughest Environments
Durability is a non-negotiable factor for industrial applications. The 1000 SM-L is constructed with a T-304 stainless steel evaporator and frame, offering superior corrosion resistance essential for outdoor usage or saline environments often found in the seafood industry.
Key technical advantages include:
- Copeland Discus Compressor: Known for industry-leading efficiency and reliability.
- Hot Gas Defrost: Ensures a rapid harvest cycle and quick recovery, boosting daily yield.
- Harvest Hold (PHC): guaranteeing a definite defrost even in varying ambient temperatures.
- Simple Mechanical Controls: The unit eschews expensive, hard-to-repair circuit boards in favor of standard components available at most refrigeration wholesalers.
This focus on standard, non-proprietary parts means that maintenance is straightforward and cost-effective. Operators do not need to wait weeks for proprietary components to ship; most service parts can be sourced locally, ensuring minimal downtime.
A Legacy of American Manufacturing
Holiday Ice, Inc. has been a family-owned leader in the industry for over six decades. Their commitment to personal service is matched only by their dedication to quality manufacturing. Every machine is factory-assembled, fully charged, and rigorously tested before shipping. This “plug-and-play” approach reduces installation costs and ensures the unit is ready to perform immediately upon arrival.
The company’s facility in Longwood, Florida, serves as the dedicated manufacturing hub for the Arctic-Temp 1000 SM-L Industrial Ice Machine, where skilled technicians ensure that American-made quality is built into every unit before it ships to clients nationwide.
About Holiday Ice, Inc.
Holiday Ice, Inc. is a premier manufacturer of specialized, mid-range capacity commercial ice machines for industrial applications nationwide. With a focus on vertical tube technology and rugged stainless steel construction, their Arctic-Temp line is the preferred choice for industries requiring dependable, large-scale hard cracked ice production. Based in Longwood, Florida, the company prides itself on exceptional customer support and a legacy of American manufacturing quality.
