Hubei

The "province of a thousand lakes" and a crossroads of nine provinces, where the Three Gorges of the Yangtze, Wudang Mountain and Chu culture define Hubei's character.

Hubei lies on the middle Yangtze, with mountains in the west and the Jianghan Plain in the east, dotted with many lakes. Wuhan is an important city of central China, known for the Yellow Crane Tower, East Lake and hot dry noodles. The ancient building complex on Wudang Mountain is a World Heritage site, Shennongjia is known for its primeval forest, and Shennong Stream in Badong and the Three Gorges Dam show the Yangtze gorge scenery. The Ming Xianling Mausoleum in Zhongxiang and the Red Cliff battlefield carry history, Jiugong Mountain in Xianning and the Dabie Mountains near Yingshan in Luotian suit summer escapes and autumn colors, and Huangshi and Fangxian also have their own highlights. Spring and autumn are best. Wuhan Tianhe Airport and its high-speed rail hubs connect the whole country, and Yichang is the gateway to the Three Gorges.
