SANYA -- A group wedding ceremony featuring local cultures was held on the weekend in Sanya, a resort city in South China's Hainan province. This was in honor of 100 newly-married couples nationwide who joined the fight against COVID-19.
The couples were from 15 provinces across the country. They had all cancelled their planned wedding ceremonies to work on the front lines during the COVID-19 epidemic.
The group wedding, to salute the epidemic fighters, was organized by the municipal government and supported by some 50 enterprises that provided free round-trip air tickets, accommodation, wedding photos and honeymoon tours.
After the group wedding held on Saturday evening, the couples visited popular tourist attractions in Sanya on Sunday.
