WASHINGTON - It has become fashionable for Chinese tourists to travel to the United States during the Spring Festival holiday and immerse themselves in culture.
A tour of the Library of Congress, an ice hockey game and a Broadway musical were among the highlights of Angela Xie's weeklong trip.
"With less shopping, I have more time to experience local culture in-depth," said Xie from Shanghai. "A senior-aged guide at the Library of Congress explained in detail the construction of the library with great passion."
