Things to do and see

Wuhan has four distinct seasons - a mild spring and fall, a hot summer and a frozen winter. Given this, the best time to visit Wuhan, naturally, is either in the spring or in the fall.

Wuhan has many historical places of interest. Huanghe Lou, or Yellow Crane Tower, located near the southern end of the Yangtze River Bridge, is one of China's most famous ancient towers built in the 3rd century.

It inspired many poets and artists. The famous poet Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty (AD 618-907) wrote one of his best poems during his visit to the tower.
