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.

The three steamed dishes refer to steamed fish, pork, and meat or shrimp balls. Mianyang (currently called Xiantao City in Hubei Province) natives have maintained the traditional method of preparing steamed dishes for centuries.  The difference is that now modern chefs have tailored the ingredients, cooking methods, and techniques to suit the palette of a wider range of people, not only the Mianyang locals.

Steamed Wuchang Fish

Steamed Wuchang Fish is a typical dish in Wuhan. This freshwater fish, when steamed together with mushrooms, bamboo shoots and chicken soup, maintains both the original fresh taste of the fish and the nutrients.  Actually, nowadays the so-called "Wuchang Fish" is not taken from Wuchang Lake, but is actually fished from the waters in another county in Wuhan’s suburbs.

Jianshe Dadao Avenue Bars

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.

An Introduction to Wuhan

Wuhan (武汉), located at the confluence of the Changjiang (长江) and Hanjiang Rivers (汉江) is the capital of Hubei (湖北) province.  It is most famous for its lakes.  In fact, it is called “the town of one thousand lakes" because once one reaches the east side of...
Wuhan (武汉), located at the confluence of the Changjiang (长江) and Hanjiang Rivers (汉江) is the capital of Hubei (湖北) province.  It is most famous for its lakes.  In fact, it is called “the town of one thousand lakes" because once one reaches the east side of Wuhan, they may feel as if the lakes are endless.
 
Wuhan actually consists of three districts that used to be individual cities of their own:  Hankou (汉口) and Hanyang (汉阳) on the west bank of Changjiang River, and Wuchang (武昌) on the east.  Next to the Chinese traditional architecture of Wuhan’s old city (built during the Qing and Tang Dynasties and mainly located in Hankou and Hanyang districts) lays the new, modern  city, built entirely after 1980. Wuhan’s booming economy is obviously represented by the never ending construction.   Wuhan covers an area of 8,406 square kilometers (3,246 square miles) with a population estimated at 7,860,000.
 
Besides the ever-present Han Chinese ethnicity, you can also find Hui, Ming, Manchu, Miao, Tujia, Mongolian and many other smaller ethnic minorities living or working in Wuhan.
 
Wuhan is a city with both an old history and a thriving present. Artifacts excavated from ancient tombs date as far back as 3,500 years.  In the period of pre-Qing (770 B.C. - 221 B.C.), it was known as the cradle of the brilliant Chu Civilization. During the Qing Dynasty Hankou district became one of the four most well-known towns in China. Hankou city has been the center of trade in central China for centuries.
 
There are many tourist attractions in Wuhan that are worth a visit including East Lake , Changjiang River and Changjiang Bridges 1 and 2. Wuchang and Hanyang are linked by this great bridge, no.  1, which is more than 1300 meters long and 80 meters high. The completion of the bridge in 1957 marked one of Communist China’s first great engineering achievements. A second Trans-Yangtze bridge, no. 2, in northern Wuhan was completed in 1995 and linked Hankou and Wuchang.

Wuhan’s Climate

Wuhan has a subtropical climate with four distinct seasons: Winter (November to February), Spring (March to May), Summer (June to August) and Autumn (September to early November). The ideal travel months are March-June and September-November. Travelers are advised to avoid the scorching summer period of June to August, and the cold winter from November to late January.
 
Summer in Wuhan is well-known for its heat and high humidity and temperatures can reach up to 45 C (113 F).  Unlike most areas in northern China, which have dry-heat summers, cotton clothing is recommended. Wuhan, along with Chongqing and Nanjing, are known as the three furnaces of China due to their extreme summer heat.

Although the temperatures in Wuhan during the winter are not as low as those in the northern part of the country, the temperature can still drop quickly and suddenly. Therefore care should be taken especially when travelling with kids. In summer, the city’s location beside the Changjiang River gives the city a specific weather shaped by the river, particularly at night.
