On the occasion of the Chinese New Year of the Dragon, Austria in Europe celebrates the Spring Festival in its own unique way. Here, the Spring Festival is not only an important festival for overseas Chinese, but also a "special performance season" in the capital of the world, and it also brings new business opportunities to businesses.
Happy New Year in the United Nations City.
On February 10, the first day of the Lunar New Year, Van der Bellen, Austria, immediately posted Spring Festival wishes on the social platform, wishing the overseas Chinese in Austria and all those celebrating the Chinese New Year a good year and good health.
In Vienna, the city of the United Nations, the heads of many international organizations also sent New Year greetings. Vienna is home to one of the three main offices of the United Nations.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has been ingenious by introducing the auspicious fruits that bring wealth and good luck such as oranges and oranges commonly used in the celebration of the Spring Festival, and then cleverly introducing the most environmentally friendly pest control technology at present, that is, carrying out pest control through irradiation such as gamma rays and X-rays, which has made a wave of advertising for itself.
* The sound of Chinese music in the capital.
In Vienna, the capital of the city, the Spring Festival is naturally indispensable. On the eve of the Spring Festival, the ** Chinese Orchestra held the "Chinese New Year National ** Meeting" in the ** Hall of Vienna to perform the suite of "Heaven and Earth Yongle Chinese Festival", presenting the origin, rheology, customs and culture of traditional Chinese festivals, and the audience responded enthusiastically. On February 11, the second day of the Lunar New Year, the Vienna Musikverein played the Vienna Spring Voice Chinese New Year ** meeting in praise of China. The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra led by the well-known Austrian conductor Friedrich Fuffer and the Chinese Orchestra led by Liu Yunzhi, director of the ** Chinese Opera House, performed together in the ** Golden Hall.

The enthusiasm for celebrating the Spring Festival in Austria is high. On the eve of the Spring Festival, the 2024 Spring Festival Gala for Overseas Chinese Students in Austria arrived as scheduled. This is the Austrian Chinese's own "Spring Festival Gala", which has been insisted on for many years. Xie Feiru, the chief planner of the "Spring Festival Gala" and president of the Austrian Chinese Women's Federation, said that in order to allow more guests to participate in the performance and achieve the greatest communication effect, it will still be held online this year. Although it was an online performance, it was full of joy and the creativity and quality of the show were top-notch. What left the deepest impression on the reporter was Zhang Shaomei's solo dance "My Motherland and Me". On the square of Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna, Zhang Shaomei danced in white, which was intoxicating.
The "Business Classic" of the Year of the Dragon of the Austrian merchants

Austrian businessmen even took a ride on the Spring Festival and sang the "business classic".
