The Chinese city at the epicentre of the global coronavirus pandemic, Wuhan is back in the spotlight and this time it’s because it is promoting itself as a tourist destination.

The city which is inhabited by about 11 million people has launched a promotional video to attract visitors to experience its natural beauty,.

According to CNN;

Wuhan never hesitates to show its beauty, and those who love it deeply hope that more people can understand it,” says the video the Wuhan Culture and Tourism Bureau posted on Facebook.

“From the myriad twinkling lights along the Yangtze River and the amazing dance and music from the Zhiyin cruise, to the glittering light and beautiful voices from the livehouse……give me five! Everyone! Looking forward to meeting you in Wuhan.”

The city in central China’s Hubei province implemented a 76-day lockdown from Jan. 23 to April 8 after the outbreak, slowing infection rates significantly, according to CNN.

It hasn’t reported a local case since May and was the top destination Chinese citizens wanted to visit after the crisis ended, according to a joint study carried out in April by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences Tourism Research Center and Tencent Culture and Tourism Industry Research Center.
