STORYLINE:

Indonesia's Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway (HSR) service, known as Whoosh, staged cultural shows on Saturday to celebrate the upcoming Chinese New Year.

The celebration featured the performances of Chinese musical instruments erhu and guzheng as well as Chinese songs and lion dances. 

Last December, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) inscribed the Spring Festival -- social practices of the Chinese people celebrating the traditional new year -- on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

Chinese New Year is also an official public holiday in Indonesia.
