A variety of colorful activities including impressive robot performances and spectacular lantern shows have ignited tourists' passion in festive celebrations during the official nine-day Chinese New Year holiday ending on Monday.

In the Longxingli scenic area of Tonghua City, northeast China's Jilin Province, six robots dressed in festive red jackets would make bows and present rhythmic performances in perfect unison during the holiday, sending New Year blessings to tourists and local residents.
In Ejin Horo Banner in the city of Ordos, north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, a lantern show combining traditional Chinese New Year holiday customs with modern technologies would attract flocks of tourists coming from all over the country.
Covering an area of 200,000 square meters, the lantern show boasts over 1,000 sets of colorful lanterns stretching along a two-kilometer-long corridor.
In particular, there are more than 30 groups of lanterns with the theme of the 2026 Chinese New Year, which is a Year of the Horse in the 12-animal Chinese zodiac, attracting tourists to pose for photos in front of them.
In addition to colorful lantern shows, tourists can also enjoy more than 60 performances featuring local ethnic characteristics.
"It truly helps me see the prosperity and strength of our motherland, and the self-strengthening and confidence of our culture. Our life is thriving and full of happiness," said Liang Qianqian, a tourist from south China's Guangdong Province.
