Happy Lunar New Year!

Celebrating the first new moon of the lunar calendar, an estimated 2 billion people gather worldwide to usher in the Lunar New Year with vibrant celebrations and family reunions. The festivities, also known as the Spring Festival or Chinese New Year, last for 15 days, ending with the Lantern Festival. From envelopes to lanterns, red is the dominant color, symbolizing luck and prosperity. Streets come alive with the rhythm of drums as the dragon dance takes center stage. Our homepage today shows a bird's-eye view of the dragons—elongated puppets with shimmering scales, animated by a team of dancers. Lunar New Year is a popular time for families to reunite and is said to be responsible for the world's largest annual human migration. Each year is linked to one of the 12 zodiac animals and 2024 heralds the Year of the Dragon, a symbol of nobility, power, and success.

准备好庆祝了吗？ Are you ready to celebrate?

除夕夜

几乎每一年的春节，西安城墙都被装扮得光彩动人，让这座千年古都彰显着更为浓郁的传统中国春节的韵味。而西安城墙的灯会更是给人们带来了绝美的体验感。当百米长灯点亮古城，烟火气息回归，现代城市与古老城市似乎打破了时空感，在夜幕降临以后，灯光璀璨之时，同时展现在眼前。置身其间的人们，似是穿越于古今两个时代，体会着千年的沧桑与繁华。

中国的每个地方，在新春佳节这一晚皆有璀璨夜色，浓烈的年味，这是沸腾的中国年。祝大家春节快乐，新的一年，万事胜意！

国际山岳日

12月11日是国际山岳日，这个特殊的节日是联合国大会在2003年设立的。今年节日的主题是“恢复山区生态系统”，与“联合国生态系统恢复十年”计划相呼应。

为了庆祝国际山岳日，我们来了解一下中国安徽省的黄山风景区，又称黄山。1990年，黄山被联合国教科文组织评选为世界遗产。黄山由1.4亿年前侏罗纪晚期形成的花岗岩构成，其巍峨的山峰高达3168英尺。游客来到这里，既可以欣赏到令人叹为观止的奇松、怪石、云海和冬雪，还可以泡温泉。朋友们，让我们一起爱护山岳，一起为了远大的梦想，勇攀高峰吧！

International Mountain Day

Happy International Mountain Day! In celebration of highlands, we're visiting the dramatic landscape of Huangshan—the Yellow Mountains—of eastern China's Anhui province. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Huangshan has been described as 'the loveliest mountain of China' and has inspired artists and writers throughout history. Composed of granite that formed 140 million years ago, its peaks emerge from seas of clouds, rising to 6,115 feet at its highest point, Lotus Peak. Visitors come here to experience breathtaking rock formations, pine trees, hot springs, and captivating winter landscapes. So, let's climb high, dream big, and protect our mountains!

冬日里的壮丽美景 Magnificent scenery in winter

中国黄山

立冬是中国二十四节气中的第十九个节气。这也是冬天的开始。在南方，初冬时节一般都不是很冷。随着时间的推移，冬至后冷空气频繁南下，气温逐渐下降。入冬后，北方大部分地区将出现雨雪降温天气。华北部分地区此时常下初雪。

今天给大家带来的是冬天的黄山。雪后的黄山银装素裹，美丽极了。游客可以欣赏到“玉宇琼塔”、“水晶宫”等美景，这是其他季节难以想象的。此外，黄山的温泉也非常有名，游客可以在这里享受温暖的温泉浴，在寒冷的冬天放松身心。

HuangShan, China

The Beginning of Winter is the 19th of the 24 solar terms in China. It is also the beginning of winter. In the south, it is generally not very cold in early winter. As time goes by, cold air frequently moves southward after the winter solstice, and the temperature gradually drops. After the beginning of winter, most areas in the north will experience rain, snow, and cooling weather. The first snow often falls in some parts of North China at this time.

Today we show you Huangshan Mountain in winter. After the snow, Huangshan Mountain is covered in silver and is so beautiful. Visitors can enjoy the beautiful scenery such as "Yuyu Qiong Tower" and "Crystal Palace", which are unimaginable in other seasons. In addition, Huangshan Mountain is also very famous for its hot springs, where tourists can enjoy warm hot spring baths and relax in the cold winter.

举杯邀明月 Under the full moon's gaze

中秋节

今天是中秋节，是桂花浮玉的时节，是月满天街的日子。图片中的风景是位于中国贵州省贵阳市的甲秀楼，甲秀楼始建于明朝万历二十六年（1598年），取“科甲挺秀”之意，设有浮玉桥衔接两岸。此时满月映照了整个苍穹，夜空如洗，甲秀楼和周围的古建筑在明月与灯光的映衬下，投射在湖水中，颇有“书画一船烟外月，湖山十里镜中人”的意境。

您知道吗？民间中秋赏月活动约始魏晋时期，盛于唐宋。如今的人们依然会进行赏月活动。在家中庭院、餐厅聚会，摆出月饼瓜果等，边赏月边畅谈，其乐融融。中秋佳节，让我们以月寄情，盼生活更加美好，康乐，幸福。

Mid-Autumn Festival

As summer's warmth gently yields to autumn's cool embrace, the Mid-Autumn Festival lights up the Chinese city of Guiyang, celebrating the full moon and the autumn harvest. Also known as the Moon Festival, it takes place on the 15th day of the year's eighth lunar month in the Chinese calendar.

The harvest has been celebrated around the autumn full moon since China's Shang dynasty, more than 3,000 years ago. During the festival, families reunite to enjoy delectable mooncakes, admire the beauty of the moon, express gratitude, and tell tales of Chang'e, the Chinese goddess of the moon, and her husband Hou Yi, a legendary archer.

Similar festivals are celebrated in Japan, Vietnam, South Korea, and other countries in East and Southeast Asia. Jiaxiu Tower, pictured on our homepage, was built in 1598, so it has witnessed many Mid-Autumn Festivals. Under the moonlit sky, lanterns adorn the tower, illuminating the streets, symbolizing hope, good fortune, and unity.

挑战地心引力的世界奇观 Gravity-defying wonders of the world

哈利路亚山，张家界国家森林公园，中国

哈利路亚山是位于中国湖南省张家界国家森林公园内的一处胜景。这些石柱曾出现在电影《阿凡达》中，那些高耸的石英砂岩峰林正是悬浮山的灵感来源。2010年1月25日，张家界南天一柱被更名为《阿凡达》哈利路亚山。据了解，电影《阿凡达》中“潘多拉星球”中的大量原型来源于张家界群山，其中“南天一柱”图片就成为“哈利路亚山”即悬浮山的原型。1992年，包括“南天一柱”（哈利路亚山）在内的武陵源风景名胜区被联合国教科文组织列为世界遗产。现在，这个地方每年都吸引着数百万的游客前来欣赏该地引入入胜的美景。此外，公园里还分布着许多徒步小径和玻璃悬空栈道，以便游客们欣赏哈利路亚山的全景。

'Avatar Mountains,' Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, China

These stunning stone spires, rising from the forest in China's Hunan province, are said to have inspired the floating mountains of the movie 'Avatar.' There are more than 3,000 of these quartz-sandstone pillars in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, often swathed in mist, part of a spectacular landscape that has inspired generations of painters. These days, they are popularly known as the 'Avatar Mountains' and one, the 3,544-foot-high Southern Sky Pillar, was officially renamed as 'Avatar Hallelujah Mountain' in 2010, the year after the blockbuster movie was released.

The spires sit within the wider Wulingyuan Scenic and Historic Interest Area, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and attract millions of tourists each year who come to marvel at their otherworldly beauty. The park is dotted with numerous hiking trails and glass-bottomed skywalks, allowing visitors to enjoy panoramic views of this natural wonder.

这片湖泊可不是海市蜃楼 This lake is no mirage

敦煌月牙泉，中国

月牙泉位于中国甘肃省敦煌市附近，是隐藏在广袤戈壁滩上的一个摄人心魄的自然奇观。数百年来，这片因独特的月牙形状而闻名的绿洲，一直是一个重要的水源地。人们认为，月牙泉是风蚀形成的，其水源是地下泉水。由于附近有山脉遮挡，月牙泉才不会被该地的风沙所淹没。当地采取了许多保护措施，确保月牙泉不会干涸。游客不仅可以在湖上划船、骑骆驼在沙漠徜徉，还可以在附近的莫高窟欣赏古代佛教壁画及雕塑。

Crescent Lake near Dunhuang, China

Crescent Lake is a captivating natural wonder hidden in the vast Gobi Desert near the city of Dunhuang in China's Gansu province. This oasis, named for its unusual shape, has been a vital water source here for centuries. The lake is thought to have formed in a valley carved by wind and been fed by an underground spring. It sits amid Dunhuang's 'singing' sand dunes, which make a noise when the wind blows. The sand dunes also help stop the lake from being swallowed by sand and conservation efforts have ensured that it doesn't dry out. Visitors enjoy boating on the lake, camel rides through the surrounding dunes, and seeing ancient Buddhist art and murals in the nearby Mogao Caves.

行走在彩虹岩石上 Walking a rocky rainbow

国际岩石日

7月13日是国际岩石日。为什么要给岩石设立一个节日呢？因为自石器时代以来，岩石就在人类历史中扮演着重要角色。它们是人类最早的工具，也是自然的记录，包裹着古代生物的化石，也留下了地质变化的印记。中国张掖丹霞国家地质公园的彩虹山就是一个很好的例子。这里的沉积岩经过数百万年的风化和侵蚀，最终形成了这片色彩斑斓的风景，红、橙、黄、紫各色疏密相生，组合有序。变质岩、沉积岩、火成岩等等各种各样的岩石帮助形成了我们今天所生活的世界。

International Rock Day

International Rock Day, on July 13, celebrates these hardy heroes, which have played a big part in human history since at least the Stone Age. They served as humanity's first tools and as nature's journals, protecting ancient fossils and documenting changes caused by geological processes.

Our homepage image shows Zhangye National Geopark's Rainbow Mountains in China, an incredible landscape created over millions of years. Those colorful layers are formed of sedimentary sandstone rock. Iron oxide gave the rock its predominately rusty hue, while other oxides tinted the various layers brown, yellow, and green. Sandstone and minerals that were once layered on top of each other were lifted and distorted by tectonic movement, revealing those colorful stripes. And that is not the end of this geological tale. This unique landscape continues to change, as wind and water erosion sculpts new pillars and ravines. No matter what your favorite category of rock is—metamorphic, sedimentary, or igneous—rocks of every kind helped build the world we live in today.
