Wuhan Travel

Located on two rivers of the Yangtze (Changjiang), the second longest river in the world, and Hanshui, the greatest branch of the former, Wuhan is divided into 3 parts: Wuchang, Hankou and Hanyang. These three converge at the Wuhan Yangtze (Changjiang) Bridge, the first bridge across Yangtze River. Other bridges; the No.2 Yangtze Bridge, completed in 1995, and two other bridges across Hanshui River link Wuhan so that it has the nick-name, "City on Rivers". Wuhan is a major junction of traffic and communication in Inner China. Historically, Wuhan is referred to as Thoroughfare to Nine Provinces because of her great convenience in transport. And now, two airports, two international harbors, several national railways and highways allow Wuhan a greater capacity of transportation. Wuhan is now enjoying a boom in foreign and local investment that may help it match up with the sparkling cosmopolitan citadels of Nanjing and Shanghai. However, there are many scenic spots and historical sites in Wuhan to visit, including the European-style buildings remained along the Yanjiang Dadao, the 1,700 years old Yellow Crane Tower, one of the three famous towers in South China, the East Lake whose natural beauty rivals that of the West Lake in Hangzhou; the TV Tower on Tortois Hill known as the highest mast of Asia; the ancient Guiyuan Temple, and the modern International Amusement Park.
