===Holiday Broadcasts===
{{Unreferenced section|date=September 2022}}
During major Chinese holidays (dubbed [[Golden Week (China)|Golden Week]]), such as [[Chinese New Year]], [[May Day]], and [[Mid-Autumn Festival]], China Radio International typically broadcasts special programmes such as:
* ''Growing Up In China'' (during the May Day holiday)

Most of these programmes are not typical of the broadcast during the other parts of the year. The analogy is similar to Christmas music broadcasts in the United States.

In July 2006, CRI launched a new radio station called CRI Olympic Radio at 900 AM in Beijing. This special broadcast was in Mandarin, Korean, English, Russian, French, Spanish, Arabic, Japanese and German 24 hours a day. This service was terminated in late 2008 after the [[2008 Summer Olympics|Beijing Olympics]] and now the frequency 900 AM is occupied by CRI News Radio, which covers only Beijing.{{cn|date=February 2024}}
