An Easter Party themed "Catch the Bunny Girl" was held at the Kempinski Hotel in Guiyang on March 25.

Bunnies are symbols of Easter. It is believed that the folk story is an ancient European myth that has survived even dark historical times. When it spreads to the US the Americans gave the bunny a cute nickname, "Easter Bunny".
