General presentation
Wuhan
At the confluence of Yangzi and Han, Wuhan brings together large museums, historic districts and lakes in a very large metropolis.
To understand what Wuhan is, you have to look at the Yellow Crane Tower, Hubei Provincial Museum and Eastern Lake. These places give us a view of a territory marked by the big city, urban life, heritage and riverscapes and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.

For a stay of 3 to 6 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: variable influx depending on the season. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. The main sites are generally easy to access.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place indismissible
Tour de la Grue jaune
The rebuilt tower dominates the Yangzi from the Serpent Hill and remains the great literary symbol of the Wuhan. Collections and vestiges take time to go beyond a mere photographic stop; a visit helps to understand their regional historical context.
Museum
Musée provincial du Hubei
The collections present bronzes from the tomb of the Marquis Yi de Zeng, lacquers and ancient instruments. The collections and remains take time to exceed a mere photographic stop; a visit made helps to understand their regional historical context.
Lake
Lac de l'Est
A huge urban lake connects gardens, cycle lanes and wooded hills to the east of the centre. Season, wind and water level greatly alter the experience; fragile banks and possible local restrictions must also be respected.
Place indismissible
Concessions de Hankou
Bank facades, former consulates and docks recall the commercial opening of the port of Hankou. A visit early in the day allows to better observe local usages and the details of the place, while avoiding some of the groups and traffic.
