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.
。    8月26日讯 据意大利记者莫雷托的消息，尤文图斯依然对齐尔克泽感兴趣，他们在过去几天里询问了曼联。预计齐尔克泽将在转会截止日前离开曼联，不过，目前尤文图斯并不考虑以“租借+强制买断”的方式签下他，也没有考虑直接永久转会。而这两种方式，正是曼联目前希望达成的交易方案。
