Jianghan Road Pedestrian Street
江汉路步行街
Hankou's most bustling century-old commercial street, lined with early 20th-century bank and trading-house buildings from the Republican era, dazzling with lights at night.
Jianghan Road Pedestrian Street runs from Zhongshan Avenue in the north to the Jianghan Customs House on Yanjiang Avenue in the south, about 1.6 km long. It is Wuhan's best-known commercial pedestrian street. Along it stand early 20th-century Western-style buildings once occupied by HSBC, Citibank and Siming Bank, mingling with modern shopping malls and old-brand snack shops. The light shows at night are especially lively. It can be combined with the Jianghan Customs House Museum and the Hankou Riverside Promenade into a half-day walking route. Free entry all day. Jianghan Road station on Metro Lines 2 and 6 is right here, but during holidays crowds are huge, so keep an eye on your belongings.
