In recent years, bilateral cultural exchanges between Serbia and China have become increasingly close, and the understanding and love of the people of the two countries for each other's culture have been significantly deepened. On the occasion of the Chinese New Year, Serbia celebrates the arrival of the Chinese New Year with a variety of events.
Learning Chinese, wearing Hanfu, and learning to write Chinese characters have increasingly become a new trend pursued by young Serbians. At the Chinese Cultural Center, Serbian youths picked up their pen and ink after work, as if they were in ancient China.
