Dear MEL Topic Readers,
The place Chinese travelers want to visit in
2020 is... Wuhan
Wuhan is the capital of Hubei province. With over
11 million residents, it is not only the most populous city but also a major
transportation hub and considered the economic, financial, commercial, and cultural
center of Central China. But the city is now more known as the epicenter of the
coronavirus outbreak in the world. The city was locked down by the central
government from January 23 until April 8 this year to prevent the virus from
spreading to other parts of the country, and the world. There were over 50,000
confirmed coronavirus cases and nearly 4,000 deaths were attributed to the
outbreak officially in Wuhan. Since the city officials, medical staff, and
residents had to endure a long, difficult time, people across the country praised
and supported their efforts. Now, when Chinese netizens are asked where to
travel after the outbreak, many of them picked Wuhan more than any other city. It
seems that the perseverance and courage that people in Wuhan demonstrated
impressed others in China.
However, it is still too early to book tickets
and a hotel room as no one knows if Wuhan, or any other city, is or will be free
from COVID-19 yet.
Read the article and think about which Chinese city
you may want to visit after the outbreak.
