Stop 1

Yellow Crane Tower is located on the top of Snake Hill in Wuhan, Hubei Province. It was first built in 223 AD during the Three Kingdoms period, initially used as a military watchtower. After the war, it evolved into a famous tourist destination. Throughout history, it has been destroyed and rebuilt several times due to wars and fires. The tower's planar design is a combination of a square and an octagon, symbolizing "all directions". It is one of the "Three Great Pavilions in the South of the Yangtze River" in China, along with Yueyang Tower in Hunan and Prince Teng Pavilion in Jiangxi. Many literati from different dynasties visited here and left a large number of famous poems, making it a cultural landmark. It is now a national 5A tourist attraction, representing the unique charm of traditional Chinese culture.

The Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge is a remarkable bridge in China. It is located in Wuhan, which is a city divided by the Yangtze River. Before the construction of this bridge, transportation between the two sides of the river was mainly by ferry, which was inconvenient and time - consuming. It is a double - deck road - railway bridge. The upper deck is for vehicles, allowing cars and buses to cross the river smoothly. The lower deck is used for railway transportation. The bridge's piers are solidly built to withstand the strong impact of the river's current and the heavy loads of traffic. The Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge was the first bridge over the Yangtze River in China after 1949. It had a far - reaching impact on promoting the economic development and transportation improvement of the central region of China. It has also become an important symbol of Wuhan city and a well - known landmark that attracts many tourists to visit and take pictures.

Hubu Alley is a renowned historical and cultural street located in Wuhan. It dates back to the early Ming Dynasty and got its name due to its proximity to the Hubei Yamen. The architecture here preserves many styles from the Ming and Qing dynasties, making it one of the best-preserved old blocks in Wuhan and a local cultural heritage site. This alley is famous for its rich cultural atmosphere. The residents, mostly local Wuhan people, maintain traditional lifestyles and cultural traditions. There are also many retail stores with local characteristics, like pastry and noodle shops, showing the unique style of Wuhan citizens. Moreover, Hubu Alley is hailed as the "First Alley of Wuhan Snacks". It offers a wide range of delicious local snacks, such as the famous Hot and Dry Noodles, Salty Doughnuts, Steamed Dumplings, and Soup Buns. These snacks are not only a treat for the taste buds but also a reflection of the local food culture.

The Hubei Provincial Museum, founded in 1953, is one of the country's eight museums supported by the national government and the only comprehensive provincial museum in Hubei.
It is located in the Wuchang district of Wuhan, near the west shore of East Lake. The museum is set in a lush garden environment, with district shade trees. The building design is based on traditional Chu culture's architectural style, featuring high platforms, wide and multi-layered eaves, a large sloped roof, and three buildings, reflecting the overall layout of Chu axial symmetry of a temple.
The museum houses a vast collection of over 200,000 cultural relics, including ancient jade, bronze vessels, musical instruments, ceramics, and extensive artifacts from the tomb of Marquis Yi of Zeng and the tombs at Baoshan.
