Tips

culture

Closer to a 'variety show party' than a Western cocktail party. 联欢会 typically features audience members performing songs, sketches, and games for each other — schools, work units (单位), and the army all hold them, especially around Spring Festival and the New Year. The CCTV 春节联欢晚会 (Spring Festival Gala) is the genre's flagship.
