Japan's iconic landmark Tokyo Tower was illuminated in festive red on Tuesday to celebrate the Chinese New Year, an annual event that has been running since 2019 to promote cultural exchanges.

During the light-up event, over 200 Chinese and Japanese children sang "Auld Lang Syne," while 2,025 balloons featuring panda and Pokemon designs ascended into the night sky.

China's Spring Festival, the social practices of the Chinese people in celebration of the traditional new year, was inscribed on UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity last year, serving as a bridge for international cultural exchange.
