There are three points of land where the Han and Yangtze Rivers meet. It wasn't until 1957 that these three points were joined to form Wuhan. This city has always been the Yangtze's major inland port and offers visitors a wealth of history, culture and striking scenery.
Major attractions include Hankou which is a former Treaty Port, and it was home to thousands of overseas merchants and officials during the early part of the century. One of the most important Buddhist sites in central China is the Guiyuan Buddhist Temple in Hanyang. A spectacular showplace for Buddhist art, the many halls house a 105-ton white stone Buddha from Burma and some 500 other statues. The Hubei Provincial Museum, located near East Lake, is one of the largest and most comprehensive museums in central China. Particularly noteworthy is a magnificent set of musical bells unearthed from Han Dynasty tombs. Jinzhou is an ancient city 235 km upriver from Wuhan and for relic-lovers is well worth visiting. Legend says the Lute Pavilion in Hanyang inspired a great composer more than a thousand years ago. This beautifully restored site consists of pavilions and terraces amid spacious gardens on the shore of Moon Lake.
Wuhan cuisine is influenced by a major-scale inland fishery which offers the best-known fare and agriculture in the region. Wuhan steamed dumplings are justly famous, steamed wild goose is a well-known local treat and the fish is so good that Mao Zedong wrote a poem about it.
Wuhan's retail shopping is diverse including paintings, bambooware, paper-cuttings and wood and stone carvings. Prime shopping areas are near Hankou railway station and along Zhongjiacun in Hanyang.
Primarily an industrial city, Wuhan is a major centre of China's iron and steel production. It is also the site of a three million metric ton steel rolling mill and China's largest heavy machine tool plant.

Bus station

Wuhan is right on the Yangtze River. If you are to visit Three Gorges and go upstream, you will start the trip from Wuhan. It is rather convenient that you take a flight from another city to land in Wuhan and immediately head for the cruise ship if you have limited time and can't stay over in this city
