The Yellow Crane Tower is a landmark building in Wuhan. It is located on the bank of the Yangtze River, on Snake Mountain in Wuchang. Many celebrities have left famous poems here. It is said that the Yellow Crane Tower was built during the Three Kingdoms period, but it has been destroyed many times. The one we see today was rebuilt in 1985. Climbing up the Yellow Crane Tower, you can see the spectacular view of the Yangtze River and the three towns of Wuhan.

This time I came to Wuhan with my parents. I came here once when I was a child, but the impression was not very deep. This time I came to Yellow Crane Tower specifically to reminisce my childhood memories and bought a beautiful refrigerator magnet. I heard that this three-layer refrigerator magnet is a new product for May Day. The elderly and children can take the elevator to the top floor. I climbed up floor by floor. The scenery on each floor is different and has its own merits.


The Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge is a bridge built on the Yangtze River in my country, spanning Guishan Mountain in Wuchang and Sheshan Mountain in Hanyang. Because this was a project supported by the Soviet Union, it has a strong Russian style, thick and magnificent. If you are interested, you can cross the river from the approach bridge near the Yellow Crane Tower or near the south gate of Guishan Park. The whole journey takes about 1 hour, or you can take the elevator directly from the bridgehead and then walk across the bridge. Appreciate the unique scenery of the three towns of Wuhan from the bridge deck.

Steel Rainbow: The Modern Allegory of Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge stands majestically above the river, its steel skeleton flashing a cold light in the sun. This "First Bridge Across the Yangtze River", built in 1957, is more of a vivid and concrete expression of modernity than a transportation hub. The geometric lines made of steel and concrete cut through the natural landscape on both sides of the Yangtze River in an almost overbearing manner, incorporating the flowing river water and undulating mountains into the order of industrial civilization. The endless stream of vehicles on the bridge and the trains rumbling beneath the bridge together play a never-ending symphony of modernity. This bridge is not only a physical channel connecting Wuchang and Hankou, but also a spiritual bond connecting tradition and modernity. When the setting sun casts a golden hue on the steel trusses, what we see is not only the silhouette of a bridge, but also the collective image of a nation rushing towards modernization.


In Wuhan, eating breakfast is also called "Guo Zao", and Hubu Lane is a famous place for Guo Zao. Hubu Lane is located in Wuchang District. It is a short street that concentrates dozens of traditional Wuhan snacks. There are many time-honored brands, such as Cai Linji Hot Dry Noodles, Duohuzhai Tofu Skin, Jinchu Soup Dumplings, etc. Wuhan's classic breakfast such as soup rice noodle, soup dumplings, hot dry noodles, etc. can be eaten here.

Address: Wuchang District, Wuhan City, Hubei Province

Opening hours: 24 hours a day, all year round

Hubu Lane is truly worthy of its reputation as Wuhan's "breakfast paradise". This century-old alley, less than 100 meters long, brings together nearly 100 kinds of Han snacks such as hot dry noodles, bean curd skin, and soup noodles. It can be called a living museum of Wuhan cuisine. At six o'clock in the morning, the steaming hot air filled with the aroma of sesame paste filled the entire street. Cai Linji's hot dry noodles are elastic and smooth, Lao Tongcheng's bean curd skin is golden and crispy, Xu Sao's soup noodles are fresh, spicy and thick. Every bite is authentic Jiangcheng flavor. However, with the impact of the internet celebrity economy, some time-honored brands have begun to improve their traditions to cater to the tastes of tourists, making shops such as Shiji Hot Dry Noodles that stick to the original flavor even more valuable. It is recommended to avoid the crowds during holidays and come before 7 a.m. to experience the most authentic city life. With a bowl of eggnog, sit in the mottled alleys and feel the morning light of Old Hankou. This is the most moving way to visit Hubu Lane.


Chuhe Hanjie Street is located on Gongzheng Road in Wuchang, between East Lake and Shahu Lake. This is a commercial pedestrian street full of the style of the Republic of China. Being in it, it feels like traveling back in time. As a waterfront pedestrian street, the Chu River runs through it. You can take a cruise to enjoy the scenery of the river city on both sides. The scenery is even better during a night cruise. When you walk to the middle section of Han Street, you can also see a representative antique-style theater, which is solemn and beautiful, and sometimes live performances are held here.

Address: No. 1 Chuhehan Street, Wuchang District, Wuhan City, Hubei Province

Opening hours: 24 hours a day, all year round

evaluate:

Chuhe Hanjie Street is a very popular modern commercial pedestrian street in the center of Wuhan. It is based on the architecture of the Republic of China and integrates fashion shopping, food and entertainment. The 1.5-kilometer block built along the Chu River is brightly lit at night, with cruise ships shuttling back and forth, which is quite charming. There are many brand stores and special restaurants worth trying. It is suitable for shopping and checking in, and there are a lot of people during holidays.


Wuhan University has a long history, which can be traced back to the Self-Strengthening Academy founded by Zhang Zhidong in the late Qing Dynasty. The school is very close to East Lake and surrounded by Luojia Mountain. The campus is shaded by green trees and retains many excellent historical buildings that combine Chinese and Western styles. In recent years, Wuhan University's cherry blossoms have become famous, and the cherry blossom season has attracted tourists from all over the country, so there will be time limits and flow limits on-campus visits.

Address: No. 299, Bayi Road, Wuchang District, Wuhan City, Hubei Province

Business hours: Open from 08:30 to 17:30 tomorrow

The beauty of Wuhan University, the spiritual home at the foot of Luojia Mountain, lies not only in its splendour when the cherry blossoms are flying, but also in its academic heritage accumulated over a century. This university, located between mountains and rivers, perfectly combines the beauty of nature with humanistic thinking to form a unique spiritual temperament. Under the dome of the old library, countless sparks of thought collided; in the morning light of Sakura Peak, generations of students pursued the truth here. The most touching thing about Wuhan University is that it not only protects the academic tradition of "self-reliance, perseverance, truth-seeking and innovation", but also embraces the changes of the times with an open attitude. Here, rigorous academic spirit and romantic humanistic feelings coexist and grow together, creating the unique spiritual character of Wuhan University students - it has both the calmness and heaviness of Luojia Mountain and the agility and tolerance of East Lake water. This kind of character is the most precious quality of contemporary Chinese intellectuals.



The Moshan Scenic Area in East Lake is another good place to view cherry blossoms in Wuhan. The variety and scale of cherry blossoms in the cherry blossom garden in the scenic area are far greater than those in Wuhan University. The environment for viewing flowers here is much more comfortable than the crowded Wuhan University because there are relatively fewer tourists. There is also a Chu Culture Tourist Center in the scenic area.

Moshan Scenic Area is located in the south of East Lake. In the cherry blossom garden within the scenic area, there are "78 cherry blossom trees" which are very precious. The East Lake Cherry Blossom Garden rationally plants early, mid and late flowering varieties. February to March each year is the best time to enjoy the flowers, and the flowering period can last up to one month.

In addition to the cherry blossom garden, there are several botanical gardens in the scenic area with a wide variety of flowers and trees, and various flower viewing festivals are held every year. As a national plum blossom research base, Donghu Plum Garden has a wide variety of plum blossoms. There are more than 20,000 plum trees of more than 340 varieties, and the entire flowering period lasts from early January to early March. The variety of azaleas in Moshan Garden is the best among the five provinces in central and southern China. In March, when the flowers are in bloom, the whole mountain and the whole field are covered with a sea of ​​flowers in various shapes and forms, which is a feast for the eyes. Moshan osmanthus has always enjoyed a high reputation among the people, and there is a saying that "eight miles from Moshan, the fragrance spreads for ten miles".

There is also a Chu Culture Tourist Center in the scenic area. The main attractions include Chu City, Chu Market, Fengbiao, Chu Tiantai, Zhurong Stargazing, Li Sao Stele, Chu Talent Garden and Nanguo Philosophy Garden.

Overall it was okay. We went a little early so only a small part of the cherry blossoms were in bloom, and the atmosphere of the cherry blossoms was not at its full potential. The service staff were quite nice. There were about six varieties of flowers, and there were crowds of people. Many beautiful women in ancient costumes went to take pictures, but because there were too many people and it was crowded, the pictures could not be very effective. Many booths in the scenic area charged for taking pictures. On a small lake in the middle, there was a beautiful woman in pink Hanfu dancing with an umbrella, and singers were singing on a small stage in another place. There were many vendors selling food and entertainment at the exit, and most of them were students and young office workers.
