It's April day, and spring is in harmony.
In Wuhan, Hundred Flowers opened for the first time, and tourists from all directions came in droves.
In 2020, the sudden outbreak of new crown pneumonia caused Wuhan, a city with a population of tens of millions, to declare its "closed city" unprecedented in history.
With national support, Wuhan survived.
At 0:00 on April 8, 2021, it is the node of the first anniversary of Wuhan's unblocking.
"The most benefit of the spring is one year, and the flowers are full of flowers." Luo Wendi wrote in the circle of friends after visiting the Wuhan Botanical Garden recently.
Luo Wendi is from Northeast China. During the Ching Ming Festival holiday, she and her husband travel with her grandmother, parents, and son. Wuhan has become a common choice for the whole family.
Luo Wendi said that he had been to Wuhan on business trips in the past few years, but it was just a "pass-by in a hurry."
When I came to Wuhan after the epidemic, I "checked in" the East Lake, Jiangtan, and Yellow Crane Tower, and gained a deeper understanding of the city. Wuhan's "unyielding, tenacious and unyielding" is impressive.
This spring, Hubei launched the "Meet the Spring Cherry Blossoms" activity, with Wuhan as the mainstay, a global action, launched hundreds of flower viewing spots, hundreds of flower viewing routes, and held more than 200 flower viewing performances in the scenic area, open arms to welcome you Tourists at home and abroad.
The spring breeze has brought tourists from all directions, and it has also "hot" the Hubei cultural tourism market.
Statistics show that from March 20 to 21 this year, the number of visitors to Wuhan East Lake Cherry Blossom Garden reached 115,000, with about 60 foreign tourists.
During the three-day holiday of Qingming Festival, Hubei received 11.703 million tourists and realized tourism income of 5.665 billion yuan, which was restored to 60.01% and 62.05% of the 2019 Qingming Festival.
Driven by the flower viewing season, Wuhan Wansongyuan Food Street has become more popular.
Hot dry noodles, beef noodles, tofu skin...every morning, the old street is awakened by fireworks and "premature" citizens; as night falls, Wansongyuan is still brightly lit, and there is a "net celebrity" shop. Difficult to find, the diners lined up patiently.
Wansongyuan’s Jinchu Tangbao is a local time-honored restaurant. It opens every day from 7 in the morning to close at 10 in the evening. There are always many citizens and tourists patronizing it one after another.
"Wan Songyuan has always been a very lively place, but during the epidemic last year, it was like falling asleep. Now it has welcomed so many tourists and it is becoming more and more popular." Said the clerk for many years.
Currently, crayfish are freshly marketed.
Xie Qirui, a young man from Henan who went to college in Wuhan, called his friends and friends to meet in Wuhan. Apart from enjoying the flowers, he also stopped by Wansong Garden to "pick up shrimps."
After studying and living in Wuhan for nearly 4 years, he was a little bit dissatisfied with the city.
"Four years ago, the goal was to go to Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou to develop after graduation, but now the feelings for Wuhan are getting deeper and deeper, and Wuhan is also developing rapidly, and is considering finding a job here." He said.
"I want to experience the charm of the'City of Heroes' this time during my trip to Wuhan; second, I plan to sign up for the 2021 Wuhan Marathon, which will be held in October this year, and come to'step on the spot' in advance." Liu Zhigang, a 49-year-old Jiangxi tourist, laughed .
He is a marathon enthusiast. He planned to participate in the 2020 Wuhan Marathon, but he did not get his wish due to the impact of the epidemic.
"Today's Wuhan is full of traffic and crowds." Walking on the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge, Liu Zhigang sighed, "Wuhan, reborn from the ashes, is full of fragrance!" (End)
