The city of Wuhan offers a multitude of interesting things to do for the visitor. Here you will have the opportunity to ascend the Yellow Crane Tower, visit Baotong Temple, stroll down Han Street and experience many other attractions.
The imposing Yellow Crane Tower is considered to be Wuhan's most esteemed landmark. You will find that the structure that stands here today dates to the year 1981; this pagoda has over the course of time been demolished and reconstructed numerous times. At one time this edifice functioned as a watchtower, but today it is merely a cultural attraction. The local people take great pride in the Yellow Crane Tower and it is thought that a visit to Wuhan would be incomplete without ascending to the fifth storey of this building and experiencing the remarkable views.
Although this Buddhist temple has been destroyed and re-erected numerous times, it has still retained a distinctive and ornate beauty. You will see that this shrine is a fully functional Buddhist temple, with monks meditating, devotees paying their respects and the fragrance of incense wafting through the compound. A noteworthy feature of this temple is the Hongshan Pagoda which stands on a hill positioned behind the other buildings. You will be able to climb up the winding stairways to the seventh storey and enjoy the pleasing views across the temple grounds.
This stunning presentation derives inspiration from Wuhan, the Chu-Han Dynasty and the heritage of the Han people. An acrobatic and theatrical water-based spectacle, the Han Show is a distinctive and memorable experience that will capture the imagination of the discerning visitor to the city. This entrancing show is conducted within a one of a kind stadium that has been constructed to replicate the shape of a Chinese lantern. You will find that this architectural wonder is a marvellous setting for this spectacular show.
Wuhan's pedestrian avenue known as Tan Hua Lin is a bohemian attraction that will capture the interest of the curious visitor. On this street, you will encounter an array of interesting galleries and boutiques at which you could easily spend an afternoon wandering through the shops and conversing with the proprietors.
