Jianghan Road is very popular in Wuhan. It is longer in total (One hundred seventy-seven meters) than the famous Nanjing Road in Shanghai.
Over 200 stores and shops housed in traditional buildings sell a complete selection of clothes, appliances, food, commodities, and other luxury goods. Five squares decorated in different styles are arranged along this street with greenery, springs, cafes, and bars. Along the street are buildings that housed old banks, stores and statues. Every aspect of the street contributes to retelling the history of Wuhan. Amenities such as pay phones, electronic screens, mailboxes and car parking are available for your convenience and enjoyment.
How to Get There: You can take the tourist special line of Bus 401 from the Wuchang Railway Station or Bus 533 from the Hankou Railway Station. Otherwise take No.1 or No.2 trolley buses; or the No.1, No.2, No.24 or No.45 buses.
Re Gan Mian (Hot-dry Noodles)
Re Gan Mian is reputed to be one of the five most popular types of noodles in China and the preferred breakfast choice by residents of Wuhan. When in Wuhan, be sure to try a bowl of the Re Gan Mian for just 1 Yuan. The noodles are truly delicious.

Re Gan Mian is reputed to be one of the five most popular types of noodles in China and the preferred breakfast choice by residents of Wuhan. When in Wuhan, be sure to try a bowl of the Re Gan Mian for just 1 Yuan. The noodles are truly delicious.
Dozens of street vendors and small restaurants all over the city sell Re Gan Mian. Be careful to avoid unsanitary vendors. The Cai Lin Ji noodle restaurant located at Zhongshan Dadao Street (汉口中山大道) in Hankou is regarded as the best location to eat Re Gan Mian.

There are many bars along Jianshe Dadao Avenue(汉口建设大道) in Hankou. Upper and middle class people generally hang out in these bars, which are artistically well decorated. Jazz, blues, Latin-American music, and exotic dance performances give these bars a different feel and more relaxed and diversified atmosphere. However, drinks and food here are a bit expensive (meals 25-40 RMB, cocktails 25-50 RMB).
I recommend the Red Lover (Hong Se Lian Ren, 红色恋人酒吧, 建设大道600号). It is truly a very pleasant place to enjoy an evening.
Taibei Road Bars
Taibei Road is packed with 6 or 7 bars. Dancing groups and rock bands present live performances. Karaoke, KTV, Western buffets, discos, and many other indulgent activities are available here. Drinks are cheap, usually around 20 Yuan, and you will be able to socialize with all cla...
Taibei Road is packed with 6 or 7 bars. Dancing groups and rock bands present live performances. Karaoke, KTV, Western buffets, discos, and many other indulgent activities are available here. Drinks are cheap, usually around 20 Yuan, and you will be able to socialize with all classes of Wuhanese around Taibei Road. The area is noisy and possibly a bit unsafe.
You can find many other bars along Xinhua Road (新华路) as well. Entrance fees often cost around 25 Yuan per person (unless you know someone). Xinhua road is about 3 km northeast of Taibei Road, but within the same district.
How do you get to Taibei Road from Xinhua Road: Take bus 705 to Zhong Shan Park bus stop, then another bus (706 or 522) down to Taibei Road.
How to get to Taibei Road from Wuchang: Buses 401, 403, 519, 536, 596, 710, 706 and 522 running from Wuchang to Hankou are ideal to get to Taibei Road or simply catch a cab.

No. 572 Wuchang Branch, Wuluo Road (武璐路)
+86 (0)27 8789 5342
This venue offers two floors of fun and each floor provides contrasting atmospheres. On the second floor patrons enjoy more of a lounge type atmosphere. The space is divided into several small rooms that give the bar an intimate feel, making it an ideal place to bring a bunch of friends.
On the third floor you’ll find the disco. Simply put, the decor of the disco contains a lot of red! A large video screen hangs above the DJ booth and dance floor. The visuals are usually displaying very fashionable, sexy, and sometimes erotic imagery.
If you want to meet expatriates in Wuhan, the Blue Sky (蓝色天空咖啡) on Xinhua Street is the ideal place. It is also known as the French Terrace due to the large number of French patrons that are regulars at this joint. The Blue Sky plays good music and boasts a wide selection of food. Drinks are relatively cheap. Note that drinks are half price between midnight and 1 am not including the “hots”.

Wuhan Tianhe International Airport (武汉天河国际机场) is one of the biggest airports in central China. It is located 26 km northwest of Wuhan city. Transportation to and from the airport to the city is very convenient provided you know what destination you are headed for. There is a bus terminal at the airport which is very affordable for budget travelers. From the bus terminal you can reach any corner of the city. Tickets can be purchased in the arrivals hall for 15 RMB per person. In front of the arrival hall of the airport there is also a taxi stand. You will receive a service card with the number plate of your taxi on it. In case you are not satisfied with the service of the taxi, call the service number on the card. Do not take taxis offered to you in the arrival hall of the airport as they intend to charge a higher fare. Only take the taxis which are waiting at the taxi stand. Do not bargain the price with the driver, tell the taxi driver to use the meter. Another more expensive means of transportation is to rent a car.
There are daily flights linking Wuhan with numerous destinations both in China and abroad (including Asia and Europe).

The city of Wuhan consists of three districts; Wuchang (武昌), Hankou (汉口) and Hanyang (汉阳). Each district has its own railway station serving different destinations across China. The two major railway stations are in Wuchang and Hankou. Train tickets cost the same at each of the three stations.
Wuhan has three main railway lines; the Jing Guang railway (京广铁路线) line (from Beijing to Guangzhou passing through Wuhan), the Handan Railway (邯郸铁路线) line (from Hankou to Chongqing and then to Chengdu), and the Wu Jiu railway ( 武九铁路线) line (from Wuchang to Jiu Jiang and continuing on to Shanghai).
If you are traveling to the north, the Jing Guang railway line is the one you want; you should arrive or depart at the Hankou station.
If you are heading south, catch the train at Wuchang station. If you are heading for or coming from Chengdu, Chongqing, or other western destinations, you will probably arrive or depart from Wuchang station.
If you are coming from or going to any eastern provinces, Hankou or Wuchang station are both suitable for your trip.
For trains to Wuhan it is best to find this information from the departure city. All trains follow the same routes going to Wuhan as they do going from Wuhan.
