Thousands of people attended the Wuhan Music Festival on Saturday more than a year since the city became the ground zero of the coronavirus pandemic.
For the first five days of May, revelers in the central Chinese city danced, bounced, and screamed with delight as some of their favorite acts took the stage.
The festival was done online last year due to the coronavirus pandemic.

In a report on Reuters, some 11,000 people attended the event. Barriers were set up in front of each stage and security personnel restricted numbers in those areas. Some spectators wore masks, but many did not.
The city eased restrictions after reporting almost zero COVID-19 cases.
“Last year we suffered from the coronavirus. It has not been easy to get to where we are today. People here have put in huge efforts and paid a big price,” one of the attendees said.
