Any trip to Wuhan city would be incomplete if it does not include a visit to the Hubei Museum 湖北省博物馆, one of the top museums in China, if not the world.

Zhi Yin Hao 知音号. Amazing Wuhan Yangtze River Cruise

When we arrived at the jetty to board the Zhi Yin Hao 知音号 for a cruise on the Yangtze River, I was expecting the usual nice dinner on the boat and a grand view of the Wuhan skyline as the boat glides down China's longest river. It turned out to be that - and more, a lot more.

Tenglong Cave. Must See Natural Wonder in Hubei China 腾龙洞

During my trip to fascinating Hubei province in central China, I visited Tenglong Cave or 腾龙洞 which means "cave of the soaring dragon". Tenglong Cave was awarded by the China National Geographic magazine in 2005 "the most beautiful place in China" - an accolade well deserved 👏👏👏

China's Amazing Enshi Grand Canyon 恩施大峡谷

This was the majestic view of Enshi Grand Canyon 恩施大峡谷 from my room at The Daughter Village Hotel. The sheer limestone cliffs were veiled by thin morning mist and low cloud. It's a surreal dreamy picture as I looked out from my balcony, invigorated by the cool, pristine mountain air and excited by the thought that we were going up that intimidating looking cliff today.

Hubu Alley. Wuhan Famous Food Street 武汉户部巷

Hubu Alley is a food street in Wuhan - tour guides will bring tourists here though locals will normally not eat here 😂 Still, it's a pleasant walk and a good place to get acquainted with some local specialities, especially when one does not have sufficient time to explore authentic local street food.

小路易生煎馆 (漢街) Sheng Jian Bao at Hanjie Street. Wuhan Food

I heard a lot about the famous pan fried bao 生煎包 shop 小路易生煎馆 of Wuhan before and so was quite excited when we stumbled upon their outlet at Wuhan's Hanjie Street 漢街. Actually, I never expected to visit Wuhan, China - I was happy like a child when I spotted this.

Bali Lobster Delicious in Crayfish Crazy Wuhan. Food 巴厘龙虾(万松园)

😄😄😄 For me one of the priorities when travelling, besides sightseeing, shopping etc, tasting local speciality dishes is a must. While in Wuhan in Central China, everyone we met suggested that we must try their crayfish. The city is crazy about crayfish (actually, practically the whole of China is gripped in a crayfish craze 😂).
