The park makes naan to order, and the bread is sent all over China.

Liu said her confidence in the park was the deciding factor in here decision to work there.

"It is run by a State-owned enterprise which guarantees food safety and the income is considerable," she said.

As livestreaming host, Liu's salary has risen to 7,000 yuan ($1,084) per month, compared to the 4,000 yuan she earned as a designer.

"I am full of energy every day because I see hope in livestreaming," she said.
