Spring Festival may be a Chinese festival, but that doesn't mean it's only celebrated by Chinese people. To celebrate the start of the Year of the Rooster on Jan 28, 12 performance troupes from Zhejiang province are travelling to 31 cities in 21 different countries to celebrate the holiday with people all over the world.

The 309 performers will stage traditional Chinese dances, drama and music, as well as demonstrating other traditional skills like paper-cutting, egg decorating and calligraphy to share the richness of Chinese culture with people across the globe.
