Wedding bus a new fad among Chinese newlyweds

Ma Yuxuan and Cai Yang, a newlywed couple from Qingdao city, East China's Shandong province, decked their hired wedding bus with festive decorations and placed their wedding photos and creative stickers both inside and outside.

"This is a stylish and novel wedding bus that is exclusive to us," said Cai, adding that some of their friends were drawn in by the cheerful atmosphere and have also considered hiring buses on their big day.

Recalling her wedding day, Tang Shanqing, a newlywed from Suqian city in Jiangsu province, can not stop reminiscing about her splendid wedding bus experience. "Passers-by took photos of us, other drivers rolled down the windows to greet us, and we gave our wedding candies to children after school... I felt like the people in the whole city witnessed and shared our happiness," she said.

Tang noted that instead of hiring sedans, using a public bus as the wedding vehicle is green, low-carbon and environmentally friendly, which aligns with the young people's values and lifestyle.
