The program has entered a new phase that emphasizes tailored plans for each destination to ensure high quality and close connections with local communities and established events.

For example, Ottawa, Canada, will have Chinese dragon boat racing on ice, mixing traditional sports from the two countries.

In Auckland, New Zealand, which has staged annual fairs for Chinese Lantern Festival since 2000, folk artists and art troupes from China will join the celebration by showcasing their techniques.

Artists in Mexico City will have the chance to display their passionate imaginations in bike decoration competitions themed on the Chinese zodiac.

And some events will go to residential communities, orphanages and rest homes to spread the festive mood and improve people's understanding of Chinese culture.
