The Spring Festival is one of China's most important traditional holidays, carrying rich cultural significance and historical meaning. It is not only a time for family reunions but has also become an important bridge connecting Chinese and foreign cultures.

In this video, Ericka Koo, a student from Costa Rica, shares her impressions of the Chinese Spring Festival. When talking about the festival's delicious dishes, she highlights her love for dumplings and tangyuan (sweet rice dumplings), which she believes not only embody tradition but also bring warmth and joy to the celebrations.

Ericka also introduces festivals in Costa Rica that share similarities with the Spring Festival. She notes that the common thread among these celebrations is the emphasis on gathering with family and friends to cherish special moments, allowing people to experience the same sense of warmth and togetherness across different cultures.
