Nanning City in south China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region held a cross-border gala to celebrate this year’s Spring Festival.

Themed on “Celebrating the Spring Festival across mountains and seas, Seeking harmonious and happy reunion”, the gala utilized artificial intelligence (AI) technology in music sound effects and background video production, providing the audience with an immersive experience, and adhered closely to the youthful expression of Generation Z, conveying the charm of traditional culture while exuding youthful fashion enthusiasm.

Nearly a hundred Chinese and foreign performers presented a visual and auditory feast showcasing the Chinese temperament, international charm, and youthful spirit.

The gala was divided into four chapters to express the meaning of “new vitality, warmth of home, romance of love, and openness and shared prosperity”, fully demonstrating the charm of traditional Chinese culture with dance, instrumental ensemble, opera dance, and situational drama, etc.

Performers from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries endowed the gala with unique warmth and affection. The “BODY GUARD” brought by the popular Thai boy band PERSES sparked a heat atmosphere on site; the joint singing of representative songs of Southeast Asian countries brought unique exotic charm; the Sino-Vietnamese chorus reflected the deep friendship between China and Vietnam, and the open and inclusive attitude of Nanning in building an international metropolis that is open to cooperation with the ASEAN.

The gala also set up sub venues in Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, and Laos to showcase the joyful scenes of people from different regions celebrating the Spring Festival together through unique shots and programs, allowing the audience to experience the festive atmosphere and cultural characteristics of different countries and regions.

A fair featuring intangible cultural heritage was also created outside the gala venue, attracting foreign guests to immerse themselves in intangible cultural heritage and experience the charm of traditional Chinese culture by admiring Spring Festival paintings, making lanterns, painting sugar paintings, etc.

The gala was broadcast on Nanning’s local TV channel NNTV-1 at 20:00 on Monday night. It was also reported and broadcast by 48 media platforms in about 16 countries and regions, with subtitles translated into English, Lao, Indonesian, Vietnamese and Thai.

Representatives from local media outlets, local officials and consular officials from Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Malaysia attended the gala.

Celebrate with Indulgent Recipes

The Unforgettable Taste for New Beginnings campaign brings curated coffee blends to life with exclusive recipes that marry modern flavours and traditional symbolism.

Spring Garden, with its caramel macchiato base, showcases the floral and fruity elegance of Ginseng Delight. Infused with milk, rose petals and dried cranberries, this recipe reflects the themes of renewal and prosperity central to Lunar New Year celebrations.

Double Vigour combines bright citrus notes from orange and apple with the smooth, full-bodied character of Vertuo’s Stormio Go. Enhanced by the sweetness of longan honey, this vibrant recipe symbolises peace, success and sweetness for the year ahead. In Mandarin, the word for apple, “ping guo” , is a homophone for “ping” , meaning peace and safety, while “chéng” , the word for orange, mirrors “chéng” , symbolising success. Each recipe is easy to recreate at home and is available at nespresso.com/lunar-new-year.

The Nespresso’s Unforgettable Taste for New Beginnings Collection launches online and in Nespresso boutiques from 8 Jan 2025 and will be available for a limited time.
