As famous as being asked “Have you ever been to the Yellow Crane Tower?” is “Have you ever been to Wuhan University to see the cherry blossoms?” I went to see the cherry blossoms at Wuhan University in 2012. At that time, the door sign at the gate of Wuhan University had not yet been removed. There are really many people during the cherry blossom season, more than the flowers, and the crowds are crowded. I was very lucky that time. After seeing the cherry blossoms in the morning, it started to rain heavily in the afternoon, and then all the cherry blossoms fell.
If you happen to go to Wuhan around March, going to Wuhan University to see the cherry blossoms can be included in your travel plan, as is East Lake. (My Wuhan travel notes: http://www.mafengwo.cn/i/11881806.html)
