According to the report, the online celebrity town will officially open to visitors in October, which will also include several commercial pavilions.
It's believed authorities in Wuhan have set up the community to use the 'life-streamers' to promote the area and the city.
"As a new type of business in mass communication, life streaming is moving from a purely online industry to offline," said Qiang Yuexin, dean of the School of Journalism and Communication at Wuhan University.
