Wuhan, once hit hard by COVID-19, has returned to normal in its urban life and its economy has bounced back one year after its lockdown was lifted on April 8, 2020.
After one year's development, the central Chinese city in Hubei Province has regained its former prosperity and also regained popularity among tourists.
Liangdao Street in Wuhan is a famous breakfast restaurant, where tourists usually queue up very early in long line waiting to have breakfast.
"There are no seats anymore and we have to eat standing. But even so, we prefer to eat here. Wuhan has recovered and people's life has returned to normal. It is quite good," said a tourist from Fujian Province, east China.
Zhao runs a breakfast restaurant. Like many other shop owners, Zhao closed her store last year due to the pandemic. But she finally pulled through the difficult time thanks to a series of policies such as rent reduction and exemption, and small loans issued by the banks.
"The government has given us a lot of help to boost our confidence, such as tax and employees' social security," said Zhao, owner of a breakfast restaurant.
"During the pandemic, many shop owners surrendered the shop leases. But now many shops have reopened and shops in Wuhan have become popular again. There are nearly no empty shops on the street. This is a good sign and gives us more confidence," said Zhao.
There are more than 2.28 million individual businesses like Zhao. Many of them have gradually recovered from the impact of the epidemic with the assistance of tax and fee reduction policies issued by the country.
"We can use that sum of money to recruit more employees, improve workers' wages and renovate the store. We can certainly do it well," said Tian Jinxiang, owner of a noodle restaurant.
