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

Wuhan is a super city with a very rich heritage. It is also a very important transportation hub and strategic location in history. It is a battleground for military strategists. Modern Wuhan retains a large number of historical relics. The following are Let’s share what fun places there are in Wuhan.

Before I went to Wuhan, I had two impressions of Wuhan. First, the climate is relatively harsh, with extremely 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 been fascinated by the Yellow Crane Tower. "People of the past have gone on the Yellow Crane, and the Yellow Crane Tower is empty here. Once the Yellow Crane is gone, it will never return, and the white clouds will remain empty for thousands of years." It is really infinitely profound and infinitely peaceful to read, as if time has slowed down. This kind of state must be witnessed, so last year, I went to Hubei with my mother, and the first stop was Wuhan. Introduction and History

Wuhan is also known as "River City". Many cities have nicknames. Wuhan is called "Jiang City", which is related to the great poet Li Bai. It is said that when Li Bai was visiting Wuhan, he drank with Shi Zhong, a senior member of the Shangshu Province, at the Yellow Crane Tower. He got very excited after drinking, and Li Bai became very interested in poetry, so he wrote the poem "Drinking with Shi Zhong and Listening to the Flute Playing in the Yellow Crane Tower". "I went to Changsha to move to Chang'an. Looking west to Chang'an, I couldn't see my home. The jade flute was playing in the Yellow Crane Tower, and the plum blossoms fell in May in Jiangcheng." This is the reason why Wuhan is called the "River City". Isn't it beautiful? Standing on the Yellow Crane Tower and looking into the distance, you can see the surging river. It really lives up to its reputation as a "River City". Yellow Crane Tower

Wuhan is located in the eastern part of the Jianghan Plain, on the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. The Yangtze River and its largest tributary, the Han River, traverse the center of the city, dividing the central urban area of ??Wuhan into three, forming a pattern of three towns, Wuchang, Hankou and Hanyang, across the river. If you go to Wuhan for the first time, you need to make a guide. Wuhan’s train stations are located in three districts, so it’s easy to get them wrong. In Wuhan, to travel between Wuchang and Hankou, you can either take the subway and cross the river under the river, or you can take the ferry and enjoy the river scenery. Both experiences are very interesting.

Wuhan is the capital of Hubei Province and the only sub-provincial city and megacity in the six central provinces. It is an important industrial base, science and education base and comprehensive transportation hub in the country. As of the end of 2016, the city has jurisdiction over 13 municipal districts and 3 national-level development zones, with a total area of ??8,494.41 square kilometers. The city's permanent population is 10.7662 million, and the urbanization rate of the permanent population is 79.77.

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 and the Warring States Period, Wuhan was under the jurisdiction of the Chu State, and its establishment began in the Western Han Dynasty. In 223 AD, Sun Quan of the Eastern Wu Dynasty built Xiakou City on Snake Mountain in Wuchang. At the same time, he built a watchtower on Huanghuji in the city and named it Yellow Crane Tower.

In modern history, in the eighth year of the Xianfeng reign of the Qing Dynasty (1858), the 11 additional trading ports included in the unequal treaty "Tianjin Treaty" signed between the Qing government and the British included Hankou. On October 10, the third year of Xuantong in the Qing Dynasty (1911), the Revolution of 1911 was launched 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. Wuhan became the center of the revolution. Climate and Scenery

If you take a walk around Wuhan, you will have an impression of Wuhan, which has a lot of "water". The water area of ??rivers, rivers, lakes and wetlands accounts for nearly 1/4 of the city's area. In particular, there are many lakes, ranking first among Chinese cities. East Lake, which Wuhan people are proud of, is very beautiful and is much larger than West Lake.

When traveling to Wuhan, I think there are two places that must be visited. The first is the Yellow Crane Tower. Climb high and look into the distance, and feel the artistic conception of "the yellow crane will never return, and the white clouds will linger in the sky for thousands of years". The Yellow Crane Tower was built in the Three Kingdoms era. At that time, it was just a "military building" in a corner of Xiakou City. Later, due to wars, the Yellow Crane Tower was built and abandoned many times. The current Yellow Crane Tower was built in the Qing Dynasty in the 1980s. It was rebuilt based on Tongzhi Building and has the fifth floor, which is very spectacular. However, the last time I went there was during the National Day. The Yellow Crane Tower was really crowded with people, and it was difficult to appreciate the long and profound artistic conception. However, standing on the top floor and looking out, with a panoramic view of the river and the city, it was still Very beautiful.

Another place is Wuhan University. The beautiful scenery of Wuhan University has also become famous, and it is known as "one of the most beautiful universities in China".

Wuhan University is very large, and the most famous scenery is the Cherry Blossom Avenue. In March and April, it is absolutely romantic to experience a cherry blossom rain on the beautiful campus. However, the cherry blossom season is short and it is not easy to see them.

Aside from Sakura Avenue, the most beautiful thing about Wuhan University is the student dormitories. This dormitory was formerly called Laozhaishe and is one of the oldest buildings in Wuhan University. The building of Laozhaishe is very heavy and steady. It consists of four dormitories. There is a multi-step staircase at the entrance, the window frames are dark red, and the roof is blue. It is very atmospheric and has a sense of age (there is a vaguely visible stone on the front of the building). The slogan in large characters is "Long live the great leader Chairman Mao").

After checking Baidu, it turns out that the design of this old house also has deep cultural significance. Each dormitory building is divided into three rows in the front, middle and back by two large patios. Each row is divided into 1 to 4 floors according to the height of the mountain. Each floor of each building is named after the "Thousand-Character Classic" to form the sky and the earth. There are 16 fasting houses: , Xuan, Huang, Yu, Zhou, Hong, Huang, Sun, Moon, Ying, Zang, Chen, Su, Lie and Zhang. The roof of the dormitory is made into a flat surface, which embodies the ideal pursuit of "the earth is not equal and the scale is not equal", that is, although all living beings have different starting points, they will all achieve the same achievements through hard study. When I visited Wuhan University last time, I took a lot of photos here. While taking pictures, a girl came out of the dormitory door. She thought to herself that she was so happy to live in such a beautiful dormitory with such history and culture. Laozhaishe

Economy, employment and housing prices

In 2016, Wuhan ranked eighth in the city GDP ranking, with 1.1756 billion yuan; In terms of salary ranking in 2016, Wuhan ranked 17th, with an average salary of 6,331 yuan/month. In the 2016 ranking of comprehensive urban development indicators in China, Wuhan ranked tenth. In this ranking, Nanjing, the theme city of the last issue of Xiaoli Talking City, was ranked ninth. I personally feel that Nanjing and Wuhan are about the same. In terms of GDP alone, Wuhan is higher than Nanjing, but when it comes to 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, from the perspective of second-tier cities, Wuhan and Nanjing are both strong second-tier cities.

Looking at online comments about the economy of various cities, most of them are negative (of course, only by seeing the problems can we solve them better). Wuhan is one of the few cities that has received positive reviews.

Wuhan’s economy has also experienced ups and downs. In 1959, Wuhan's total industrial output value ranked fourth in the country after Shanghai, Beijing, and Tianjin. It was a key industrial city laid out by the country. This situation remained until the early days 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 was gradually surpassed by many cities in the "Pearl River Delta", "Yangtze River Delta" and "Bohai Rim" regions. After the 1990s, the automobile industry has developed significantly in Wuhan. Wuhan's Optics Valley is China's most powerful production and R&D base for the optoelectronics industry. Today, Wuhan already has a complete industrial system including steel, automobiles, optoelectronics, chemicals, metallurgy, textiles, shipbuilding, manufacturing, and medicine.

A few years ago, Wuhan began to reduce overcapacity in its traditional advantageous industries and upgrade its manufacturing industry. In fact, traditional industries need to "reduce overcapacity". This slogan has been shouted for several years, but not many cities have done it well. Between 2013 and 2015, Wuhan's steel industry production capacity dropped by 14%, and its textile industry's cloth production capacity 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, employment is transitioning smoothly without causing major turmoil.

Of course, compared with Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen, the economic gap between China's second-tier cities is still not small. Especially when developing from first-tier cities to second-tier cities, you will find that there are still big differences in job opportunities and income between second-tier and first-tier cities. However, if China wants to develop, it is impossible to develop only first-tier cities. It is inevitable to promote regional development through the development of potential second-tier cities.

According to data from March 2017, 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. The salary ranks 17th, and the housing price ranks 16th, which is relatively satisfactory.

Education and Scientific Research

Wuhan is one of the four major science and education center cities in China (Beijing, Shanghai, Wuhan, Nanjing). If I had not written this article, I would have never known that Wuhan is so strong in education and scientific research. As of 2015, Wuhan has 82 general colleges and universities. The number of undergraduate and junior college students in Wuhan ranks second in China after Beijing. The total number of undergraduates and graduate students in Wuhan is 1.0695 million, ranking first in China. 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 universities in Wuhan. Cultural Tradition

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

Wuhan is the provincial capital of Hubei. Speaking of Hubei people, there is a proverb that everyone is familiar with. "A bird born with nine heads is a Hubei man on earth." After reading posts about Hubei on the Internet, I found that this proverb does not sound complimentary to Hubei people.

In the spirit of breaking the casserole and 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 a hunter ordered by Zhou Gongdan. The headless neck was constantly bleeding. The ancients believed that if the nine-headed bird flew by, it would blow out the lights. Release the dogs to drive it away, otherwise the nine-headed bird will suck the soul of the child.

From this point of view, the nine-headed bird seems to be unlucky. What is the origin of the nine-headed bird and the Hubei people together? Let’s talk about Zhang Juzheng, the famous prime minister of the Ming Dynasty. Zhang Juzheng was born in Hubei. Emperor Wanli, who was assisted by Zhang Juzheng, was the longest-reigning emperor in the Ming Dynasty. During this period, the Ming Dynasty entered a period of weakness. The emperor neglected government affairs. As prime minister, Zhang Juzheng implemented a series of reforms and anti-corruption in order to save the decline. The corrupt elements hated Zhang Juzheng so much that they scolded him in private, calling him "a nine-headed bird in the sky and a Hubei guy on the ground."

In fact, the earliest totem of Hubei people is the "nine-headed bird". During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the State of Chu gradually rose to prominence. At that time, the State of Chu used the "Nine Phoenix Divine Bird" as its totem. "Nine-Headed Bird" comes from "The Classic of Mountains and Seas". "In the wilderness, there is a mountain named Beiji Tianhuan, and the sea water lives in the north. There are nine gods with human and bird bodies, named Jiufeng." At that time, the people of Chu had a longing for beauty and hoped to be protected by the divine bird. However, due to the demise of the Chu State, the fallen phoenix was not as good as a chicken. This "nine-phoenix divine bird" was derogated as a "ghost car", that is, a "nine-headed bird". " Later, the Chinese totem changed to the dragon, and the phoenix was just an accessory.

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 region 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 aggressive and hard-working; the disadvantage is that they have a hot temper.

In my understanding, this proverb should be understood as a compliment. The nine-headed bird has nine heads, so it is naturally very smart and cannot be killed easily. It means that Hubei people are smart, hardworking and unwilling to admit defeat.

Let’s talk about Wuhan dialect. The Wuhan dialect is completely incomprehensible. Not only the Wuhan dialect, but also the Hubei dialect is a very magical dialect in my mind. How to describe it, it sounds like Mandarin, but I can’t understand a word, and it’s spoken so fast that I can’t understand clearly. When you think of dialects from other places, you can probably think of a tune, but the Hubei dialect is really indescribable and magical.

There are many snacks in Wuhan, such as hot dry noodles and duck necks, which can be found in the streets and alleys. But the hot dry noodles are too dry for me, and the duck neck is too spicy. I always thought Sichuan was very spicy. I went to Wuhan last year and my mother and I went to eat duck neck on the first night. I asked the boss if I wanted something less spicy. After the boss grilled it and handed it to me, I asked if it was not spicy at all. He said it was not spicy at all. Then he looked at me (probably because I am from out of town, considering that my ability to tolerate spiciness is low), and added Let’s just say it’s slightly spicy. As a result, when I took a bite, it was definitely the spiciest meal in my history! The spiciest one, bar none. It can be seen that Hubei people are also very good at eating spicy food. But I think Hubei cuisine is very delicious. Except for being a little spicier, the dishes all taste great. Wuhan Snacks

When I was studying at Normal University, there was a Hubei restaurant near the school. I think it was called Jiutouniao. I ate there several times during dinner parties. I was very impressed and my mouth watered just thinking about it. .

Last year in a very ordinary breakfast shop on the street in Wuhan, I ate a kind of pancake. It was very thin and crispy. There was a little vegetable in it. It tasted crispy. I forgot what it was called. Very fragrant, unforgettable to this day.

Even the side dishes provided for free in the breakfast shop are so delicious that you can’t stop eating them.

You can eat unforgettable delicacies in any old breakfast shop on the street. It’s so exciting. Although the happiness index of Wuhan people is low in terms of weather, it can definitely be increased in terms of diet.
