Safe measures in place: Beer festival in Wuhan is a success despite overseas controversy.

The city of Wuhan, hit hard several months ago by the COVID-19 epidemic in central China, is holding a week-long beer festival. The event aims to stimulate the city's nighttime economy in places where drinks, food, and entertainment are offered. 

Everyone has free access to dozens of festival venues that the local government has set for its more than ten million people. Visitors attending it will find temperature and security checks along with health regulations when they arrive. 

The goal is to enjoy the event and contribute to the city revival. 

When i kicked off last weekend, the main venue in Dongxihu District didn't expect the tens of thousands of visitors who turned out, according to the organizer.
