Hi all,

I have been living in Wuhan for a few months now, and I have to say I don't recommend Wuhan as a place to visit, considering how much more amazing so many other places in China are. There simply isn't that much to visit here, or at least nothing better that what I have seen in other cities in China. If you do come to Wuhan, try to stay in Hankou, or near the Yellow Crane Tower in Wuchang. Wuhan is very big, and hard to get around, so it's imporant that you stay in a good location. After tireless searching, here is what I have found to do in Wuhan if you find yourself here:

1) Walking/Shopping street in Hankou: Almost entirely clothing shops, and not as interesting as equivalent shopping streets in other towns.

2) The Yangtze River and Bridge: Very interesting to see the river and walk across the bridge. I recommend this if you are in Wuhan

3) The Yellow Crane Tower: Near the Bridge, so you could do this in one day. Rebuilt recently, but pretty. If you're short on cash, the view is about the same from outside the park.

4) Breakfast street: Also near the YC Tower and Bridge. Very good food, best I have found in Wuhan. I recommend the BBQ oysters covered in garlic. I was nervous that they would make me sick, but I had no problems. They cook them for you after you order.

5) East Lake Park: Decent park, very big, but not that pretty. I recommend a sled ride up and down the mountain (a little scary, but again no problems).

6) Gui Yuan temple, and the Rock Museum across the street from the entrance: The temple in mediocre for Chinese temples, but the thousand Buddha hall is interesting. I preferred the rock museum. I thought I was walking into a tourist trap, but it was great. Only 10 Yuan, and you can see dinosaur bones, great bonsai displays, and very interesting rocks in a beautiful old courtyard home.

Good luck with your travels!
