Wuhan, Hubei Province, China can now hold parties without social distancing unlike most countries in the world that are still struggling to beat the new coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. This is the city where the deadly virus first emerged.
On August 15, 2020, the 2020 HOHA Water Electrical Musical Festival was held at the Wuhan Maya Beach Water Park in Wuhan. It was attended by thousands of partygoers who enjoyed a jampacked pool party.
There was very little space to float around as thousands of partygoers, who were in swimsuits, waved to the beat of the music. Cooling down in hip-high water, many of them relaxed on inflatable rubber tubes.
To attract more visitors, the organizers of the electronic music festival offered 50 percent discount to female tourists, BBC has learned. The theme park is owned by Happy Valley Wuhan, which reopened on June 25, 2020 but started getting enough visitors only in August 2020.
