"It's amazing!" Zhang Mengping, a tourist from China's Chengdu, told Xinhua. Seeing elements of the Chinese Spring Festival in a foreign country is familiar and heartwarming, and highlights the growing global reach of Chinese culture, she said.

Like those visiting Turkiye, Chinese tourists traveling in France during the holiday have also encountered celebrations incorporating modern technology.

In Paris, a Chinese New Year parade led by robotic performers made its way along the Champs-Elysees to the beat of festive drums, bringing traditional celebrations to the landmark avenue for the fourth time.

"Seeing traditional arts like the dragon and lion dance, Yingge dance, and Hanfu performances presented together overseas made me more intuitively feel the charm of Chinese civilization," said Wu Yao, a tourist from Northwest China's Shaanxi province, after watching the parade.
