The dating street will be open to the general public on May 1, but its signs were put up on April 28. Many people have already come to the street to satisfy their curiosity.

The service of the shops on the street will be free of charge, when the information of candidates will be put on bulletin boards along the street (300 candidates at a time). One who is interested can fill a card printed with the name of the person of one's choice, and wait and see if luck will be with him/her.

Currently 150 people have handed in their applications, most being in their 30s, including college teachers, scientists and public servants. Interestingly, there are more women candidates than men.

Wuhan is planning to set up another 4 to 9 dating streets like this one in the next 12 months.
