On February 8 at Congress Center Hamburg (Saal 3), the IAK Germany Chapter was invited to attend a vibrant Lunar New Year Gala in Northern Germany. Over 20 Chinese associations and more than 300 performers came together to present an evening where tradition met modern expression — from Guzheng and Guqin to classical dance and contemporary performances. The event celebrated cultural richness, community unity, and meaningful exchange between China and Germany.

ISR and IAK once again celebrated the Lunar New Year through music, movement, and shared creation. Guqin met Vivaldi; more than one hundred students brought the Four Seasons to life — riding the wind, growing together.

In Chongqing, IAK revisited its educational roots at SISU and explored six vibrant districts — closing the China chapter with reflection and gratitude before returning to the Rhine Valley. IAK文化之旅第四站重庆，回到四川外国语大学，探访山城六区，在感恩与思索中圆满收官，准备回归莱茵谷居，继续新的文化旅程。

In October, IAK began its China Cultural Journey in Chengdu — visiting Master Tang Zhongliu, honoring his lifelong devotion to guqin culture, and bridging East and West through music, heritage, and heart.
