I exported a spanner database on google cloud spanner UI page. Saved it to cloud storage. Also downloaded it to local environment.

I found a backup/restore guide here, it's for real cloud environment.

If import the data to spanner emulator, how to do?

That is currently not possible:

  • The Spanner emulator will always start without any instances and databases.
  • Any database that you create will always start out empty
  • The emulator does not support backup and restore operations
  • Any data that you create while the emulator is running will be lost when it is shut down
