Wuhan
About Wuhan
Wuhan is the 'River-Cross Metropolis' where the Yangtze and Han rivers slice the city into three historic towns—Wuchang, Hankou and Hanyang. 3,500 years of Chu culture, 1911 Xinhai Revolution sites, and 2020 global memories all layer the skyline. Locals live on 'guò-zǎo' (breakfast culture): from dawn noodle stalls to midnight crayfish grills. The flavour is bold, oily and spicy—think sesame-rich hot-dry noodles, peppery duck necks and river fish steamed with pickled chillies.
