Newlyweds display their marriage certificates at a ceremony held at the iconic Bay Glory Ferris wheel in OH Bay, Bao’an District. May 20, widely known as “520 Day,” has become an unofficial yet highly celebrated romantic holiday in China. Over the past decade, it has gained immense popularity because the pronunciation of the number “520” sounds like “I love you” in Chinese, leading many to regard it as a “new Valentine’s Day.” On this special day, marriage registration offices across the country are bustling with activity, providing registration services for couples eager to formalize their love.Courtesy of the SZ Municipal Civil Affairs Bureau |
