According to Sina, the wedding took place on Langkawi Island, Malaysia, a location the actress reportedly selected because it was where she accepted Alan Chen’s love confession on the Chinese dating show "Meeting Mr. Right 2," marking an important milestone in their relationship.
The event was attended by family and close friends of both the bride and groom.
