BBC在2016年派了几个英国人来中国体验了一把原汁原味的春节，拍了一部火爆的中国风情纪录片《中国春节：全球最大庆典》Chinese New Year: The Biggest Celebration on Earth.
The First Episode: Migration
The first episode followed the weeks leading up to New Year and is based at the Harbin Ice and Snow Festival - an extraordinary sub-zero celebration in China's far north east. 第一集记录了中国新年的前奏，展示了哈尔滨的冰雪节——中国东北部非比寻常的零下节日庆典。It is an ice wonderland, full of people braving the cold, diving into frozen water and enjoying themselves at minus 30 degrees.这是一个冰雪幻境。人们无惧寒冷，勇敢跳入冰水之中，享受着零下三十度的快乐。
The presenters also experienced the New Year transport rush and crush in Beijing, following an Anglo-Chinese family back to China, joining the crush at Beijing's West Station and battling through Beijing traffic.主持人还在北京体验了一把春运的拥挤繁忙：他们跟随一家英籍华人回到中国，在北京西站加入了春运大军，挤入繁忙的北京交通系统。还有两位萌萌哒老爷爷主持人南下广东，直接加入了春运摩托车返乡车队……
The Second Episode: Reunion
视频：第3集 《 欢 庆 》
《中国新年》第三集《欢庆》从中国最南端的香港到最北端的查干湖，从北京的庙会到香港维多利亚港的焰火，体现了遍布中国大江南北的欢乐祥和气氛，介绍了中国的饮食文化和舞龙舞狮等民俗文化。特别是本集里客观地介绍了香港1997年回归和一国两制的理念，并把香港本土文化作为中国文化的一部分展示给海外观众。
Kate Humble and Ant Anstead present the final programme from Hong Kong, looking at what happens right after New Year. This great port city is a strange mix of ultra-modern and traditional. Kate trains with a top dragon-dancing troupe and discovers that not only is it a highly demanding kung fu-based art, it is also taken very seriously as Hong Kong people sincerely embrace the tradition of lucky lions and dragons at New Year.
Meanwhile, the Hairy Bikers are in Beijing at the Temple Fair, where they explore a tradition from imperial China of the emperor starting the new year by renewing his mandate of heaven.
Ant heads to China's frozen north east to Chagan Lake to discover the ancient art of fishing beneath the thick frozen surface. It is an extraordinary scene as the fishermen use centuries-old techniques to catch fish, a key part of any New Year's banquet.
The culmination of the series is all about fireworks. Their loud bangs are believed to ward off evil spirits at this time of year. Ant goes to Liuyang, the city that produces nearly all of China's fireworks and many of those used in displays in British skies too. They even have a temple here to the inventor of fireworks, where workers still pay homage to the monk Li Tian, who started it all. And back in Hong Kong, we experience one of the most extraordinary fireworks displays on the planet as millions of Hong Kong dollars' worth go off in a blaze of light and colour over the famous harbour.
