  Wuhan Yellow Crane Tower Park resumed limited opening on the 29th. Twelve representatives from various walks of life in Wuhan struck the Millennium Bell on the top of the Snake Mountain and prayed for the return of the Yellow Crane and the recovery of Wuhan.

  In the past 98 days, due to the need for epidemic prevention and control, the Yellow Crane Tower was temporarily closed to the outside world, but the lights that were lit as usual every night reminded people living in the city that the Yellow Crane Tower has always been there.

  The Yellow Crane Tower with a history of 1797 has been destroyed and rebuilt many times. Today, after experiencing the Wuhan defense battle against the New Coronary Pneumonia epidemic, the Yellow Crane Tower can once again be "reborn".

  Next to the Yellow Crane Tower, the front of the building is already full of flowers, ascending to the top of the three towns of Wuhan, and the traffic on the Yangtze River Bridge is rolling in the distance.

  One wish for the dead to rest in peace, two wish for a healthy life, three wishes for an early epidemic, four wishes for the revival of Wuhan, five wishes for the recovery of the city, six wishes for the mountains and rivers, seven wishes for the prosperity of the Chinese Games, eight wishes for the rehabilitation of the neighbors, nine wishes for the peace of earth ... … At 10 a.m. on the 29th, the thick millennium bell sounded through the sky, announcing the official return of this historic building after the epidemic.

  "Wuhan is back!" Courier Wang Yong was invited to participate in the bell-ringing ceremony that day. In the early stage of the outbreak, Wang Yong alone escorted employees from Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital to work. Later, he led other volunteers to protect the hospital employees' meals and travel, and set up a logistics support line for medical staff.

  Having lived in Wuhan for more than 30 years, Wang Yong boarded the Yellow Crane Tower for the first time. He told the China News Service reporter that he had driven through the Yellow Crane Tower many times during the epidemic. "Seeing it go from hustle to silence, it is now returning again. Like the city I live in, everything is slowly getting better."

  "Post-90s" young teacher Hua Yuchen entered the Fangcai Hospital as a volunteer as a announcer. Her warm voice conveyed the power of love and confidence to the patients. With her petite figure, she pushed the hammer with great force, "Wuhan people have a special feeling for the Yellow Crane Tower. In the epidemic, it is like a lighthouse that brings hope. It is an honor to witness the reopening of the Yellow Crane Tower."

  Hua Yuchen said that in this fight against the epidemic, many ordinary people stood up and let her see the courage and responsibility of the Wuhan people. "It is also the light emitted by these Wuhan people that illuminates the entire city. Hope ". Returning to campus soon, Hua Yuchen told China News Service that she will share the story of the heroes of the anti-epidemic frontline with the theme of "thankfulness".

  On the day of the reopening, Huanghelou Park welcomed the first group of tourists, and 65-year-old philatelic enthusiast Song Duanla was one of them. In front of the post office at the foot of the Yellow Crane Tower, he seriously put down a landscape stamp with the date of the day. "We have been waiting too long on this day, and we are happy to meet again with our old friends here," he said.

  Wang Hongnian, a staff member of the Yellow Crane Tower Park, introduced that in order to prevent and control the epidemic situation and ensure the safety of the tour, the park currently receives a maximum of 5400 tourists every day. Before entering the park, tourists should scan their health codes and take temperature measurements. All closed areas are temporarily closed. .
