"Many performances resembled Chinese opera. I like everything here. One of those who participated in the concert was my guzheng teacher. I study guzheng, a Chinese folk instrument. So I really like everything, including poetry and tea. I really like everything that was part of the event."

At the event, Chinese Ambassador to Bulgaria Dai Qingli noted that last December, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) inscribed Spring Festival on the intangible cultural heritage list.

She said the festival is not only China's most important traditional holiday, but also serves as a global celebration of unity and joy.

This year's Spring Festival falls on Jan. 29, kicking off the Year of the Snake.
