CMG light show illuminates skyline of Nairobi

China Media Group's (CMG) light show for the upcoming Spring Festival illuminated the skyline of Nairobi, the capital of Kenya on Friday evening, bringing Chinese New Year greetings to East Africa.

The spectacular display took place on the landmark Global Trade Center, one of Nairobi's most prominent skyscrapers. As night fell, the building's expansive glass facade transformed into a massive digital canvas.

Featuring the CMG logo, four galloping steeds, and greetings in both Chinese and English, the light show conveyed the enduring vitality for the Year of the Horse.

The entire show was dominated by red and gold, accented with traditional patterns of red lanterns and Xiangyun, or auspicious cloud.

The fusion of high-tech lighting effects and classic Chinese cultural symbols created a visual harmony, lighting up Nairobi's cityscape.

The Spring Festival, or the Chinese New Year, is the most important traditional holiday for the Chinese people, celebrated with family reunions and wishes for good luck in the coming year.

This year's Spring Festival falls on Feb 17, marking the beginning of the Year of the Horse.
