🏃🏃Itinerary
Day 1: Wuchang Uprising Memorial Hall, Hubu Alley
Day 2: Yellow Crane Tower → East Lake Plum Garden → East Lake Cherry Blossom Garden → Gude Temple → Qingchuan Pavilion → Wuhan Sightseeing Cruise (Qingchuan Wharf)
Day 3: Hubei Provincial Museum
Arriving Friday noon and departing Sunday noon is perfect for office workers to take a day off and relax.
🚄Must-see attractions:
Yellow Crane Tower: Although a modern replica, the Yellow Crane Tower remains a must-see in Wuhan, even if just for the nostalgia of school days. Entering through the west gate of Yellow Crane Tower Park gets you closer to the tower, and there's plenty to see along the way from the west gate to the east gate.
Qingchuan Pavilion: It's quite small, so it's optional.
Hubei Provincial Museum: Highly recommended. Book early, queue early, and enter early. Luggage storage is available.
East Lake Cherry Blossom Garden: Crowded under the cherry trees, not many blossoms in early March.
Gude Temple: Satisfies curiosity. A Western-style temple building, quite unique.
Wuchang Uprising Memorial Hall: The museum was under renovation and had a strong odor. The Governor's Mansion across the road is more worthwhile. Unfortunately, I didn't manage my time well and could only look from afar. It closes at 4 pm.
Hubu Alley: Has some local snacks, worth a try.
Ferry: If just crossing the river, ferries depart hourly, so time it well. If you miss it, take the sightseeing cruise. It's more expensive but offers a tour and allows you to ride for multiple stops.
