What are the fun places in Wuhan? What are the fun places in Wuhan?

Wuhan is a super city with a rich background. It is also a very important transportation hub and strategic location in history. This is a battleground for military strategists. Modern Wuhan retains a large number of historical relics. Here are some interesting places in Wuhan to share with you.

Before going to Wuhan, I had two impressions of Wuhan. First of all, the climate is quite harsh, with hot summers and cold winters (and no heating). Second, there is the Yellow Crane Tower in Wuhan.

Because of Cui Hao’s famous poem, I have always yearned for the Yellow Crane Tower. In the past, the Yellow Crane carried saints to heaven, but now only the Yellow Crane Tower remains. The yellow crane will never return to the world, and the white clouds will never fly. "Reading is infinitely profound and peaceful, as if time has slowed down. In this way, you must see the elegance. So, last year, my mother and I went to Hubei. The first stop was Wuhan.

Introduction and History

Wuhan is nicknamed "Jiang City". Many cities have other names. Wuhan is called "Jiang City", which is related to the great poet Li Bai. It is said that Li Bai was visiting Wuhan and was on the Yellow Crane Tower. Drinking with Shi Langzhong, an important official in the Shangshu Province. When he was in high spirits, Li Bai's poem became very popular, so the title was "Drinking with Shi Langzhong and Listening to the Flute Playing in the Yellow Crane Tower" "First, I moved to Changsha and looked west to Chang'an. No home. The Jade Emperor blew the Yellow Crane Tower, and the plum blossoms fell in May in the river city." This is the source of Wuhan becoming a "river city". Isn't it beautiful? Standing on the Yellow Crane Tower and looking into the distance, the river is turbulent. It really lives up to its reputation as a "river city".

Wuhan is located in the eastern part of the Jianghan Plain, in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. The Yangtze River and its largest tributary, the Han River, pass through the city center and divide the central city of Wuhan into three, forming Wuchang. , Hankou, and Hanyang are separated by a river. When you go to Wuhan for the first time, you need to make a plan. Wuhan’s train stations are located in three districts. It is easy to make mistakes in Wuhan. You can take the subway between Wuchang and Hankou. Crossing the river, you can also take a ferry to enjoy the river scenery. Both experiences are very interesting.

Wuhan is the capital of Hubei Province, the only sub-provincial city and megacity in the six central provinces, and an important city in the country. Industrial base, science and education base and comprehensive transportation hub. As of the end of 2016, the city has jurisdiction over 13 municipal districts and 3 national development zones, with a total area of ??8,494.41 square kilometers and a permanent population of 79.77. /p>

The history of archaeological discoveries in Wuhan can be traced back to the Neolithic Age 6,000 years ago. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Wuhan was under the jurisdiction of Chu, and its establishment began in the Western Han Dynasty in 223 AD when Wu Dong and Sun Quan built Xiakou City in Sheshan, Wuchang. And a watchtower was built on Huangliji in the city, named Yellow Crane Tower.

In modern history, in the eighth year of Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty (1858), the Qing government signed the unequal treaty "Tianjin" with the United Kingdom. The Treaty added 11 trading ports including Hankou. On October 10, 1911, in the third year of Xuantong's reign in the Qing Dynasty, the Revolution of 1911 broke out in Wuchang, announcing the breakaway from the Qing Dynasty, the establishment of the Republic of China, and the establishment of the Military Government of the Republic of China. Revolutionary Center.

Current Location Traveling to Wuhan will leave you with the impression that there is a lot of water there, including rivers, lakes, and wetlands. Its water area accounts for nearly a quarter of the city's area. , especially the number of lakes in the country. The East Lake, which the Han people are proud of, is very beautiful and is much larger than the West Lake.

When traveling to Wuhan, I think there are two places I must go to. 1. Yellow Crane Tower. Climb high and look far away, and feel the artistic conception of "the yellow crane will never return to the world, and the white clouds will never fly." The Yellow Crane Tower was built in the Three Kingdoms period. It was only a "military tower" in Xiakou City. , the Yellow Crane Tower has been built and abandoned many times. Now, the Yellow Crane Tower was rebuilt on the basis of the Tongzhi Tower in the Qing Dynasty. It has five floors and is very spectacular. Last time, it was just me

Except for the cherry blossoms. Avenue, the most beautiful thing about Wuhan University is the student dormitory. This dormitory was formerly called Laozhaishe. It is one of the oldest buildings in Wuhan University. The old dormitory building is composed of four dormitories with a multi-level staircase and dark window frames. It is red with a blue roof, which is very atmospheric and has a sense of time (there is a vague slogan "Long Live the Great Leader Chairman Mao" on the front of the building).

After searching on Baidu, it turns out that the design of this old house still has deep cultural significance. Each of its dormitories is divided into three rows: front, middle and back by two large patios. Each row is divided into one to four floors according to the height of the mountain; each floor of each building is named "Thousand-Character Classic", forming the sky and the earth. , Xuan, Huang, universe, universe, flood, drought, sun, moon, surplus, basket, life, constellation, pillar, Zhang 16th palace. The roof of the dormitory is made flat, which symbolizes the ideal pursuit of "if the ground is not flat, the ground will be flat", that is, although all living beings have different starting points, they will achieve the same achievements through hard work. When I visited Wuhan University last time, I took many photos here. While taking pictures, a girl walked out of the dormitory door. She was thinking how lucky she was to live in such a beautiful dormitory with such history and culture.

Economy, employment and housing prices

In 2016, Wuhan ranked first in the city GDP ranking Eighth, 1,175.6 billion yuan; Wuhan ranked 17th in salary in 2016, with an average salary of 6,331 yuan/month. In the 2016 China Urban Comprehensive Development Index ranking, Wuhan ranked 10th. In this ranking, Xiao Li said in the last issue that the urban theme city Nanjing ranked ninth. Personally, I feel that Nanjing is similar to Wuhan. In terms of GDP alone, Wuhan is higher than Nanjing, but considering per capita GDP, Nanjing is slightly higher. I personally feel the same way. It seems that the living standard in Nanjing is relatively high. Of course, as far as second-tier cities are concerned, both Wuhan and Nanjing are suitable second-tier cities.

Looking at the comments on the economy of various cities on the Internet, most of them are negative comments (of course, only by seeing the problems can we solve them better). Wuhan is one of the few cities rated positively.

Wuhan’s economy has also experienced ups and downs. In 1959, Wuhan's total industrial output value ranked fourth in the country, second only to Shanghai, Beijing, and Tianjin, and it was a national key industrial city. This situation remained until the early stages of reform and opening up. After the mid-1980s, the country vigorously promoted the coastal opening strategy. Wuhan's pace of reform was slow, and it was gradually surpassed by many cities in the Pearl River Delta, Yangtze River Delta, and Bohai Rim regions. After the 1990s, some automobile industries in Wuhan have achieved considerable development. Wuhan Optics Valley is China's powerful optoelectronics industry production and RD base. Today, Wuhan has a complete industrial system including steel, automobiles, optoelectronics, chemicals, metallurgy, textiles, shipbuilding, manufacturing, and medicine.

A few years ago, Wuhan began to cut overcapacity in its traditional advantageous industries and upgrade its manufacturing industry. In fact, traditional industries need to "cut overcapacity". This slogan has been shouted for several years, but not many cities have done it well. From 2013 to 2015, the production capacity of Wuhan's steel industry dropped by 14%, and the fabric production capacity of the textile industry dropped by 42%. At the same time, the optoelectronics and pharmaceutical industries are developing rapidly. On the one hand, the industrial structure is adjusted and GDP maintains growth; on the other hand, the employment transition is stable and will not cause major turbulence.

Of course, compared with Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen, China’s second-tier cities still have a huge economic gap. Especially from first-tier cities to second-tier cities, we will find that there is a big difference in job opportunities and income between second-tier cities and first-tier cities. But if China wants to develop, it cannot only develop first-tier cities. Promoting regional development through the development of potential second-tier cities is an inevitable way.

Data from March 2017 show that Wuhan’s housing prices ranked 16th among cities, with an average price of 15,421 yuan per square meter. Compared with other cities with similar economic levels, this price is low. Salary ranks 17th, housing prices rank 16th, and they are still supporting.

Wuhan is one of the four major science and education center cities in China (Beijing, Shanghai, Wuhan, Nanjing). If I hadn't written this article, I really wouldn't have known that Wuhan's education and scientific research were so strong. As of 2015, Wuhan has 82 colleges and universities. The number of undergraduates and junior college students is second only to Beijing. The total number of junior college and graduate students is 1.0695 million, ranking first in the country. Wuhan University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Zhongnan University of Economics and Law, Wuhan University of Technology, China University of Geosciences, Huazhong Agricultural University, Central China Normal University, there are really many famous schools in Wuhan.

Education and Scientific Research

Finally, I came to the part that interests me the most. Let’s talk about people.

Wuhan is the provincial capital of Hubei. Speaking of Hubei people, there is a proverb that everyone is familiar with. "There is a nine-headed bird, and there are Hubei people on the ground." After reading online posts about Hubei, I found that this proverb does not sound positive to Hubei people.

In the spirit of asking the truth, I checked the origin of the nine-headed bird. The nine-headed bird is a legendary ominous strange bird. It has ten necks and nine heads. It is said that its tenth head was shot off by hunters ordered by Zhou Gongdan, and blood was still dripping from its headless neck. The ancients believed that if the nine-headed bird flew by, they should blow out the lamp and let the dog drive it away, otherwise the nine-headed bird would suck away the child's soul.

So, the nine-headed bird seems unlucky. What is the origin of putting nine-headed birds and Hubei people together? Let's talk about Zhang, the famous prime minister of the Ming Dynasty. During the Wanli period, Zhang was born in Hubei. With Zhang's assistance, he became the longest-reigning emperor in the Ming Dynasty. During this period, the Ming Dynasty entered a period of weakness. The emperor is lazy and Zhang is the prime minister. In order to reverse the decline, a series of reforms and anti-corruption were carried out. Corrupt elements hated Zhang deeply and privately called him "nine birds in the sky and a Hubei guy on the ground."

In fact, the first totem of Hubei people is the "nine-headed bird". During the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Chu gradually rose to prominence. At that time, the Chu State used the "Nine Phoenix Divine Bird" as its totem. "Nine-Headed Bird" comes from "The Classic of Mountains and Seas". "In the center of the wilderness, there is a mountain called Arctic Tianhuan, and the sea water lives in the north. There are nine gods, humans, and birds, named Jiufeng." At that time, the Chu people had a beautiful yearning for the blessing of the divine bird, but due to the demise of the Chu State, the down-and-out phoenix was inferior to the chicken. This "nine-phoenix divine bird" was derogated as "ghost car", that is, "nine-headed bird". Later, the totem of China was changed to the dragon, and the phoenix was just possessed.

While traveling in Wuhan, I talked with a Didi driver about the development of Wuhan and the character of Wuhan people. Wuhan belonged to the Chu State during the Three Kingdoms period, so it was deeply influenced by Jingchu culture. According to the self-evaluation of Wuhan people, the advantage is that they are proactive and hard-working; the disadvantage is that they have a bad temper.

In my understanding, this proverb should be understood as a compliment. The nine-headed bird has nine heads. Naturally, they are very smart and not easy to kill. It means that Hubei people are smart, hard-working and persevering.

Speak in Wuhan dialect again. I can’t understand Wuhan dialect at all. Not only Wuhan dialect, Hubei dialect is a very magical dialect in my mind. How to describe it? It sounded like Mandarin, but I couldn't understand a word of it. Also, I speak very fast and cannot be heard clearly. When you think of dialects from other places, you can probably think of a tone, but Hubei dialect is really indescribable and magical.

There are many snacks in Wuhan, such as hot dry noodles, duck neck, etc. in the streets and alleys. But the hot dry noodles were too dry for me and the duck neck was too spicy. I have always found Sichuan to be very spicy. Last year, I went to Wuhan. On the first night, I went to eat duck neck with my mother and told the boss that it was not spicy. The boss handed it to me after baking it. I asked, isn’t it spicy? He said it wasn't spicy at all, then looked at me (I guess I'm from out of town, considering my ability to tolerate spiciness is relatively low), and added, slightly spicy. I tasted it and it was definitely the spiciest meal I’ve ever had! The most popular, bar none. It can be seen that Hubei people are also very good at eating spicy food. But I think Hubei food is delicious. Aside from being spicy, the dishes taste great.

Cultural Traditions

A few years ago, when I was studying at the Normal University, th

Last year, I had a meal at a very ordinary breakfast shop on the streets of Wuhan. Grow cakes. It's very thin and crispy, and there's a small saucer inside. It was so crispy that I forgot its name. Very fragrant and unforgettable.

Even the free side dishes at the breakfast shop are so delicious that I can’t stop eating them.

You can eat delicious food that you will never forget at any old breakfast shop on the street. It’s so happy. Although the happiness index of Wuhan people is low in terms of weather, it can definitely be increased in terms of diet.
