Wuhan Classics: Three Districts in

Yellow Crane Tower, the Yangtze River Bridge, the Hubei Provincial Museum and East Lake, and the Hankou Riverfront, covering the highlights of Wuchang and Hankou in three days.

The itinerary is organized by district, so you do not have to cross the river back and forth. On day one, explore the old town of Wuchang, including Yellow Crane Tower, the Yangtze River Bridge and Hubu Lane, then take a two-river cruise in the evening to see the light show. On day two, visit the provincial museum, cycle the East Lake greenway and stroll Chu River Han Street. On day three, take a ferry across the river to Jianghan Customs House, the Hankou Riverfront and Jianghan Road, then leave from Hankou Railway Station. Staying around Yellow Crane Tower throughout the trip makes this a great choice for a first visit to Wuhan.

July and August are scorching, so schedule outdoor activities for early morning or evening.
