Ever wondered what 1.4 billion people traveling at once feels like?
春运(Chunyun, literally translated as “Spring transportation”), also referred to as the “Spring Festival travel rush” or the “Chunyun period”, is a period of travel in China with extremely high traffic load around the time of the New Year.
For many people working in big cities, everyone shares the same goal during that time: going back home. It’s considered the largest annual human migration on Earth.
While the world tracks bird migrations, China tracks transportation tickets.
So… did you get yours yet?

While AI visuals and digital posters are everywhere, SuperELLE decided to take a different path.
With @chen_estelle as the model and @reihuannn behind the lens, AZIOF STUDIO built the entire set from scratch. They created a stage made of petals, umbrellas, and Chinese porcelain vases.
The series is called DREAMING EAST, and it is a testament to craftsmanship.
It feels like an invitation to step into this adventure with them.

春联 (Chinese couplets) are a pair of poetic lines that adhere to certain rules, written on red paper and used as New Year decorations to express happiness and hopeful thoughts for the coming year. A thousand years later, people started to become more creative with it.
Chinese couplets began with people using peachwood to carve two figures of two gods, which were placed at the entrance of their homes to protect the family. These figures later transformed into peachwood boards with the gods’ names in handwritten format. By the Ming dynasty, peachwood was replaced by red paper with written blessings. The rules are simple: only two lines in total, and each line must mirror the other in structure and tone.
Back to 2026, China’s Gen Z is reinterpreting the tradition. The structure remains the same, but instead of formal blessings, many couplets lean into humor, different languages, and even...trendy TV shows.

Deep in the mountains of Yunnan, a small community has been performing the same dance for over 1,000 years.
The Divine Bird Dance (神鸟舞), also known as the Jin Na Luo Dance (紧那罗舞), is a traditional ritual performance of the Dai people in Yunnan. For generations, it was passed down orally. But today, fewer than 10 inheritors remain to carry it forward.
The story originates from a pair of sacred birds in Dai mythology. To honor them, the Dai people transformed the story into movement, myth into the Divine Bird Dance.
More than a performance, the Divine Bird Dance is an act of reverence: a tribute to nature, to life, and to enduring faith.
