China Media Group (CMG) has entered the final stages of preparation for its 2026 Spring Festival Gala, completing a critical third rehearsal on Saturday. For the first time, four sub-venues in Harbin, Yiwu, Hefei, and Yibin joined Beijing's main stage, creating a synchronized production that bridges multiple provinces from Heilongjiang to Sichuan.
The newly integrated venues showcased regional cultural elements through original music, dance performances, and martial arts demonstrations. This year's gala emphasizes technological coordination between locations while maintaining traditional operatic roots, creating what organizers describe as "a vibrant tapestry of China's new-era dynamism."
With less than two weeks until the Lunar New Year celebration, the rehearsal demonstrated enhanced thematic coherence across all venues. Observers noted the production's balance of festive atmosphere and artistic innovation, particularly in cross-province camera transitions that highlight regional diversity.
