Cranes and clear river trees, my heart follows the water flow of the river - Take a trip to Wuhan, the river city
Chu-Han Hubei, located at the intersection of Sanxiang and Hunan, surrounded by primeval forests and with its own cultural elegance, has always been a place that our gods yearn for. Before the arrival of Erbao, we had already made preparations for the development of Hubei Province. Self-driving strategy, but unfortunately it was not possible due to people and circumstances. In October 2024, due to a special fate, we came to
Wuhan
, the outstanding people of Chu region began from here.
The land of Chu and the people of Chu are open to the Chujiang River, and there are great rivers and great lakes in Wuhan.
If you haven’t been here
Wuhan
, in your heart
Wuhan
Maybe there are different opinions, some people say
Wuhan
Even if it’s a bowl of hot dry noodles, it’s still dead noodles; some people say
Wuhan
It is just a Yellow Crane Tower, built later; some people say
Wuhan
Even the Yangtze River is common.
But when you come
Wuhan
, when I personally felt the plum blossoms falling in Jiangcheng and the yellow crane playing the flute, its appearance became the birthplace of Chu-Han culture, a place of culture and culture for higher education, a gathering place for food appreciation, and… became… How it should be in your heart.
Live by the East Lake, live in leisurely
Kyushu thoroughfare
Wuhan
Rivers and lakes gather together, the Yangtze River passes through the city, and the lakes are densely dotted. The largest of the more than 100 large and small lakes in the city is East Lake, which is also the largest urban lake in the country. It is named because it is located in the eastern suburbs of Wuchang and is similar to the West Lake in Hangzhou. The beauty of different approaches but the same purpose. The shores of the lake are winding and crisscrossed by branches of the harbor. What’s even more valuable is that the shore is lined with ancient trees, a sea of ​​flowers and plants, and a series of greenways. Even breathing in it is a luxurious enjoyment.
As one of the first batch of national key scenic spots, a national AAAAA-level tourist scenic spot, and a national-level wetland park, it can be walked, cycled, boated, and nostalgic for the past, and it will be endless for a few days.
This time
Wuhan
The trip is to use East Lake as the core point, and use the most direct form of accommodation to deeply experience the true feelings of “Zhepan Xingyin” and “Chutian Jimu”. Donghu State Guesthouse has naturally become our best choice. Every morning when we wake up, we can wander around aimlessly as we please. Returning to this temporary “home” every night is like returning to a warm and sheltered place. Harbor, you can’t help but wake up laughing even in your dreams.
In the early morning, stroll along the path by the lake, and you will be surrounded by the fresh air and quiet atmosphere. There are footprints left by generations of leaders by the lake. Looking at the beautiful scenery with the water and sky reflecting the green mountains, you will feel as if you have been away from another life for a long time. I am willing to leave, holding water in my hand, and getting flowers and fragrant clothes. It is not a blessing to stay and be a Chu person.
A flying bridge, traveling through time and space
​ Between Guishan and Snake Mountain, connecting Hanyang and Wuchang, it is the first bridge on the Yangtze River, known as the “No. 1 Bridge on the Yangtze River”
Wuhan
Yangtze River Bridge. Every train passing through the bridge records the vicissitudes of history and the long history of culture. Night cruise is undoubtedly the best and most unforgettable experience.
Wuhan
Yangtze River Bridge, Youtiaozhou Yangtze River Bridge, Guishan Qingchuan Pavilion, Snake Mountain Yellow Crane Tower, light show along the river… and the majestic and majestic Yangtze River when the great leader struck the water. History and modernity, culture and inheritance are integrated invisibly at this moment. Without further ado, just enjoy it quietly.
The feelings between the great leader Chairman Mao and Chu and Han
As a state guesthouse, the East Lake Hotel was once Chairman Mao’s hotel
Wuhan
The place where he lived and worked many times during his stay. The current No. 1 Meiling is his former residence, located in
Wuhan
On the hill on the north bank of the east lake is a single-story courtyard-style villa, simple and solid, with forest roads leading to secluded areas, tall trees like clouds, herons flying and cranes flying, and pines, bamboos and plums nestled among it. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, Chairman Mao visited this place 48 times. It is the place where he has lived most often and for the longest time besides Zhongnanhai in Beijing. It is known as “Zhongnanhai, Hubei” and wrote the popular poem “Shui Diao Ge Tou·” here. swim”. The former residence can be visited free of charge according to opening hours, but mobile phones are not allowed inside. The first thing you see when you enter the door is a white marble seated statue of the chairman. It is amiable and unpretentious. Even the texture and depressions of the sofa are meticulous and meticulous. The whole visit process was explained by the staff and introduced in detail the chairman and
Wuhan
love, in
Wuhan
The work situation and the daily living environment are truly restored. From the bowing ceremony at the entrance to the collective recitation at the end, they all reflect the people’s admiration and love for the great man of the generation.
Museum treasure hunt
Visiting museums everywhere has become a natural habit. When you come to the legendary place of Chu and Han, the charm of the treasures of the provincial museum is unstoppable. Hubei Provincial Museum requires online reservations five days in advance. Especially on holidays, reservations are basically canceled as soon as the tickets pass in the early morning. All brothers and sisters who want to travel during holidays must set their alarm clocks and stay up late to wait. But staying up late is definitely worth it, and no provincial expo will let you down.
To highlight the key points, there are many treasures in the Hubei Provincial Museum, and each one is worthy of careful appreciation and taste. Unfortunately, because it coincides with the National Day holiday, it is really overcrowded, and squeezing is very energy-consuming, so we only chose The most representative ones are the Goujian Sword of Yue King and the Chime Bell of Zeng Houyi. You can occasionally enjoy other things along the way.
Goujian Sword of King Yue is located in the north exhibition hall on the second floor. During holidays, you need to queue up to enter the exhibition hall. In the middle of the exhibition hall is the only exhibit - Goujian Sword of King Yue. The three floors inside and outside are full of people. If you want to watch and take photos up close, you really need to go It takes some time and patience, and some physical strength. When you look closely at this sword that has been preserved for thousands of years, the dazzling metallic luster suddenly illuminates the time and space tunnel, taking you back to the era when soldiers and heroes emerged in large numbers. The sword body has a black rhombus geometric concealed pattern, the front of the sword is inlaid with blue colored glaze with an animal mask pattern, and the back of the sword is inlaid with cloud patterns in turquoise. The sword’s disc-shaped head is rolled outwards to form a hoop, with 11 extremely fine concentric circles cast inside. . Every wonderful thing was created with the hard work of the foundry craftsmen at that time, and every highlight was the ambition of King Gou Jian of Yue who worked hard to endure hardships.
You need to line up to enter the exhibition hall on the east side of the first floor to enter the Chime Bell of Marquis Yi of Zeng. However, you accidentally found a shortcut. After visiting the exit of King Goujian Sword of Yue, you can directly enter the exhibition hall of the Tomb of Marquis Zeng Yi on the east side of the second floor. There is a shortcut in the northeast corner. The stairs can go directly to the first floor, saving a lot of time in queuing. When facing the spectacular and magnificent set of chimes in front of us, we feel as if we are in the palace hall, with the graceful notes echoing in our ears. Didn’t we have the “piano” that belongs to China more than 2,000 years ago?
Meet Wuhan University
   
Wuhan
University is this time
Wuhan
The most important thing about the business is that since Zhang Zhidong was founded, it has gone through more than a hundred years of ups and downs, leaving colorful colors on its body.
Wuhan
The university is one of the top comprehensive universities in China, with a long history and excellent reputation. In modern times, there are also many talents who are leading the way. The blue-green roofed buildings on campus have become iconic features.

Yellow cranes, white clouds, green mountains and green waters
Yellow cranes and white clouds, the mountains and rivers are in the painting. How many literati and poets stopped here to look into the distance, and how many famous poems and words were written here. This is the Yellow Crane Tower, the core point of Jiangxia culture. Don’t complain that it was built later, because it has been rebuilt and rebuilt many times in the past dynasties. It is precisely because of its repeated destruction and construction that it more concentratedly reflects its special cultural attributes. Hundreds and thousands of years later, this reconstruction will definitely go down in history. Leave a strong mark on it. The Yellow Crane Tower has gradually evolved from the original military watchtower into a cultural gathering place. Celebrities from past dynasties such as Cui Hao, Li Bai, Su Shi, Bai Juyi, Lu You, etc. have all written poems. I think back to those days when I climbed up to the Snake Mountain Huanghujitou on the river bank and looked into the distance. It was so majestic and majestic. I drank happily upstairs and wrote quickly. One after another of my masterpieces was written in handwriting on the walls and pillars. How romantic and uninhibited it was!
The current Yellow Crane Tower is a reinforced concrete structure building. Compared with the original wooden structure, it effectively avoids the chance of fire damage. Nowadays, in the metropolis with many high-rise buildings, it seems to have lost the meaning of climbing, but the cultural accumulation and inheritance have made it another invisible high point, attracting the current and future generations to come and worship, and it will definitely As time and space continue to pass, it gets higher and higher.
There is no need to make an appointment to visit the Yellow Crane Tower. Tickets can be purchased online or on site. There are two main ways: west in and south out, south in and west out. To enter from the west gate, walk along the front of the building to the back, and vice versa for the south gate. The advantage of walking on the front side is that you can get a sneak peek and follow the traces of history to slowly find out the details that happened here, such as the White Pagoda, the Yellow Crane Tower, Cui Hao’s poems and pictures, the pen-resting pavilion, Mifu Worship Stone, and the Echid Pond. One after another. The advantage of walking on the reverse side is that there is a sense of mystery as the veil is slowly lifted. It is a wonderful experience to walk past celebrities and finally see the true face of the Yellow Crane Tower. Among them, you need to enter from the back door of the main building to climb the stairs and look into the distance. You need to be mentally prepared for long queues during holidays. Entering the evening show is another experience. The venue will be cleared before entering. There are two performances including the main building light show, the Goose Pond performance, the Poetry Stele Gallery performance, and the Taibai Poetry and Dance. The Yellow Crane Tower with neon lights and themes at night The performance brings the time and space of ancient and modern times closer together, and exudes the elegance of humanity. The tour and viewing are also in the order of positive and negative directions. Generally speaking, it is recommended to go in the opposite direction from the south to the west for the matinee show, and to go in the forward direction from the west to the south for the evening show.

Eating in Wuhan Part 2, the legend of shrimps
The shrimps are here
Wuhan
It’s a beautiful legend, so beautiful that I couldn’t stop eating it twice. The plump shrimp farm and the beautiful steamed shrimps came one after another. They were equally worthy of heaven.
Wuhan
The crayfish are plump and tender, large and meaty, so they are best steamed. Served with secret dipping sauce, they are smooth and tender in the mouth and have a sweet aftertaste. You can order a large table of simple crayfish here without the duplicate, and pair it with lake water. Crab, river fish, bullfrog, beef, etc., the red-hot sight immediately drives the taste buds forward. And even if there is only crayfish on the table, you will not get tired of it at all until the round belly is so round that it is leaning against the wall.
PS: The lobster must be eaten while it’s hot. We at Fei Fei Shrimp Shop take out the food, while the beautiful steamed shrimp is available for dine-in. The freshly ordered shrimp is indeed better!

The end of the food chapter must be highlighted, as a food paradise

Honghu ecological duck, Shishou ecological fat fish, Roche shrimp in waterlogged sauce, Enshi bacon stewed with small potatoes, King soft-shelled turtle…it’s all too much to enjoy. Enumeration cannot be stopped. Each dish has its own distinctive features, and I cannot recommend it in particular. I can only give it a general overview. The recipes will not be misleading at all.
