0:53Now PlayingVideo showing partygoers packing Maya Beach Water Park in Wuhan, where the coronavirus first emerged, is sparking intense reaction on social media. The water park has started seeing large numbers of people attending after it began a free ticket giveaway in July.
The theme park reopened in Wuhan on 25 June, following the lifting of the national coronavirus lockdown.
Footage taken by an attendee on 3 August shows dense crowds together in the pool, with music playing.
However, despite crowds, entry requirements are strict - partygoers must reserve their tickets online up to a week in advance with national ID number, and when they arrive they must present their "health code" generated from a mobile app that tracks people's movements.
The pool party is part of the of HOHA Electronic Music Festival at Happy Valley Wuhan, which started on July 11 and will finish on Aug 30.
