The video of a Wuhan water party in the post-epidemic time became a heated topic on overseas social media, as netizens expressed envy towards life in the central China city going back to normal. 

In the video posted by the Agence France-Presse (AFP), partygoers in swimsuits enjoyed an electronic music festival at a pool in a water park in Wuhan on a summer evening.

The news has been reported by a number of other media outlets like BBC and CNN, and made it into the top 10 hottest topics on Twitter in the past two days.

Wuhan, once badly hit by the coronavirus epidemic and then locked down for 76 days since late January, now has the epidemic under control, with no new local COVID-19 cases reported for months.

"Wuhan is having music festivals and New York City still hasn't opened up gyms," said Twitter user Luis. New York City recorded hundreds of new COVID-19 cases every day in recent weeks.

"They took the hard pain, now come out of it so fully entitled to celebrate their hard earned work in crushing the outbreak," said Twitter user Junior.

"These people deserve to have fun. When other countries back to normal life we will party too," said another.

As a popular entertainment destination, the Wuhan water park reopened on June 25 after a thorough disinfection, for locals to quell the summer heat.

According to local media, visitors have to book the tickets online in advance and undergo mandatory temperature and health QR code checks before entrance. A 50 percent human inflow cap has also been placed.
