3 must-see attractions and 4 total things to do.
Wuhan is a city you experience through your senses — and none more so than taste. Beyond the 4 attractions listed here, the food scene deserves a category of its own.
I recommend at least 2–3 days in Wuhan. You can comfortably cover the 3 must-sees in 2 days, then explore at leisure.
黄鹤楼
One of China's most famous towers, reconstructed on the Yangtze River with panoramic views.
户部巷
Wuhan's legendary 150-metre breakfast street — the best place to try re gan mian.
湖北省博物馆
Home to the 2,400-year-old Zenghouyi chime bells — a world-class archaeological treasure.
东湖
Three times the size of West Lake — rent a bike and explore peaceful lakeside paths.
In Wuhan, the food is an adventure in itself. Here are my picks for what to eat — if you skip these, you haven't really been.
