Clubbers have been pictured enjoying a night out as life returns to normal in Wuhan.
Young people are shown packed close together on the dancefloor in the Chinese city, where the Covid-19 pandemic is believed to have originated.

The Chinese government claims is has virtually wiped out the deadly virus, which is causing chaos across the rest of the world.
Officials say there have been no community transmissions in Wuhan - where a mass testing programme was launched for the city's entire 11 million population - since May.
And China claims to have gone 33 days without any new cases.
The number of flights serving Wuhan, where the pandemic is believed to have started in a wet market, have returned to pre-pandemic levels, it was confirmed this week.
China claims it should have a vaccine ready for public use by November this year.
Guizhen Wu, the chief biosafety expert at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), said she was injected in April and has had no side effects.
It comes following news China has been inoculating tens of thousands of its citizens with experimental Covid vaccines.
This is despite expert concerns over the safety of the drugs that have not completed standard testing.
Ms Wu told state TV this week: "So far, among the people who who were vaccinated, no one has been sick with the disease.
"So far, [the vaccination scheme] works very well. No side effects occurred."
Nearly one million people have died after contracting the virus, with the death toll in the US passing 200,000.
