Wei Xiaolin was too excited to sleep as she had been preparing for the opening of a coffee-themed park in her hometown on May 18.

She got up very early and put on her barista uniform to serve various coffee drinks to more than 80 guests from across the country at the park in Gaixin village, Lancang Lahu autonomous county, Pu'er, Southwest China's Yunnan province.

The 20-year-old was full of vigor and couldn't help but smile at each of her guests.
