As China's traditional Valentine's Day, Qixi Festival, is approaching, lovebirds in North China's Tianjin found they can now register their marriage at a local bank, one more new option for local couples to tie the knot. Apart from banks, Chinese newlyweds now have a variety of choices on marriage registration venues across the country as authorities in localities step up their efforts to encourage young people to get married.
News that couples can now register their marriage at a bank was widely discussed on China's X-like Sina Weibo. The civil affairs bureau in Hexi district, Tianjin, associated with a local branch of the Postal Savings Bank of China, set up a love-themed bank service site where marriage registration service is offered on every Wednesday and Thursday mornings, the first of its kind across the country, domestic news portal yicai.com reported on Friday.
According to a staff member at the Hexi district marriage registration office, combined with convenience and a more festive atmosphere, including a flower wall where couples can take photos and check in, the marriage registration site offers a ceremonial experience tailored to the preferences of younger couples, Beijing Youth Daily reported.
In recent years, marriage registration is moving beyond traditional offices, with some places now setting up service centers in parks, tourist attractions, shopping malls, subway stations, cruise boats, music festivals, banks and even on snow-capped mountains, allowing couples to exchange vows in settings of their choice.
In Beijing, three outdoor marriage registration sites were set up at Beijing Grand Canal Cultural Scenic Area, Jinghua Fumanyuan, and the Grand Canal Cruise on May 20 this year. They provide couples with a one-stop experience to let couples register their marriage, take photos, enjoy cultural experiences and create lasting keepsakes. Whereas the marriage registration site set up at the Suzhou Museum of Imperial Kiln Brick in Suzhou, East China's Jiangsu Province, uses the durability of imperial kiln bricks to symbolize lasting love and enduring marriage.
To promote convenience of marriage registration, starting May 10, 2025, couples will no longer need to register marriages in the location of their hukou, or household registration.
Since then, couples can get married on the spot while traveling. Many cities and tourist attractions have created new landmark venues for marriage registration, promoting marriage-registration tourism and opening up a new niche service by combining marriage registration with cultural tourism, yicai.com reported.
Per previous media reports, travel spots including Sayram Lake in Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and Yulong Snow Mountain in Southwest China's Yunnan Province, have offered such services, allowing lovers to make special memory of marriage registration.
According to He Yafu, an independent demography expert, diversified marriage registration venues are a valuable complement to marriage customs reform and a gateway to the "romance economy." They make getting married more attractive, convenient and flexible for young people, potentially giving a short-term boost to marriage registrations, He told the Global Times on Sunday.
。昨天，天津津门虎足球俱乐部发布了本场比赛的海报，主题是：信心十足。在经历了两连败之后，目前天津津门虎队士气受挫，教练组也利用这几天时间给球员们做心理辅导工作，希望全队能够走出低谷。显然，“重塑信心”是全队本场比赛的目标。最近两场比赛，天津津门虎队在比赛中的掌控力下滑。

B | 从数据来看，全队的跑动距离有所下降，体现出在残酷的赛制之下，球员们都已接近体能透支的边缘。这几天，天津津门虎队的训练强度并不大，昨天只是进行了针对性的演练，教练组也希望球员有更好的体能，以保证在比赛中的发挥。津城球迷目前最关心的还是外援罗萨和大卫·安杜哈尔的身体状况，两人的伤病情况虽然并不严重，但依然需要时间进行恢复。至于对阵沧州雄狮队的比赛中能否出场，还要看医务组对他们伤情的评估。教练组也提醒替补球员要做好准备，这场比赛随时准备出场。
