Airbnb China inverts CNY travel tradition in 'Fu'

The brand's wordless animated tale is sweet and perfect, right down to the tagline at the end.

There are no words in this charming and excellent Chinese New Year Film for Airbnb by Final Frontier and Taiko Studios. Ad Nut will honor it by using few words to describe or explain it. Just watch it.
