武漢市

Get in

Wuhan is a major city in a central position. It has all the bus, rail, road and air connections you would expect.

Eat

Wuhan is famous for its morning xiaochi - a variety of breakfast foods. Hubuxiang in Wuchang is Wuhan's famous breakfast alley where you will find all of Wuhan's famous breakfast dishes. Reganmian (热干面) (literally, "hot dry noodle") is the epitome of Wuhan's breakfast food. It is noodles with peanut sauce, tossed in sesame paste and other seasonings. You will find these noodles for around ¥10 from street vendors. They are perfect. Other Wuhan breakfast specialties include mianwo, a type of savory donut; tangbao (汤包), small dumpling-buns filled with pork and soup; mibaba, a lightly sweetened pancake made with rice flour; and mijiu tangyuan (米酒汤圆), a sweet soup of rice wine (fermented from glutinous rice) with rice flour dumplings sometimes stuffed with sesame paste.

Adventurous eaters find their fuel on the streets between the hours of 12:00-05:00. On these streets there are generous and well-meaning folk selling dumplings, noodles, wok food, and foies gras. On the odd occasion that the lounge is closed, one is able to sit outside and enjoy the night air, the delightful local dialect, and any foods you order. If you are in the mood for a more romantic night on the town, there are countless 3-wall restaurants with candle lights upon the tables, live music flowing from the muses' mouths, and 4-star restaurants' finest fair at a reasonable and sanitary locale.

Since Wuchang is an education center with many universities hosting so many international students, therefore, a number…

Drink

There are a few drinks that are associated with the city. Included in this list is Jingjiu (a healthy alternative to regular wines), Baijiu. If you would like to taste something slightly more low key, there is a local micro-brew called Singo (Xingyinge), that will be the beginning of every good night, at ¥1.5 per bottle.

Stay safe

As mentioned above, e-scooter motorists (as well as the majority of drivers) habitually ignore all traffic rules and signals. E-scooters will roam on everywhere from main streets (on the wrong direction) to pedestrian paths, and they will shamelessly expect pedestrians to move out of their way. Pay extra attention at places like Jianghan Road and Hubu Lane (even they are supposedly pedestrian-only areas), as loud noise will often cover the sound of incoming e-scooters. Whenever possible, use subways and footbridges to avoid the hassles of crossing roads, though even these places are sometimes used by e-scooters as well.
