[Vlog] CHINA'S WATERFRONTS CITY | Wuhan and the Botanical Gardens

🌏 Wuhan, capital of Hubei Province — where the Yangtze River meets the Han River

Wuhan is not just a city. It is the political and economic capital of Hubei Province, strategically located at the confluence of the Yangtze River (Chang Jiang) and the Han River. With more than 13 million inhabitants, it is one of central China’s most important transport, education, and industrial hubs.
But beyond its scale, Wuhan is surprisingly green and welcoming.

If you're traveling to Wuhan, here is what you should not miss:
🌿 East Lake Park (Donghu) — one of the largest urban lakes in China
🌺 Wuhan Botanical Garden — a scientific and ecological gem

The city is very tourist-friendly:
🚇 The metro network covers the whole city
🚲 Rental bikes are everywhere
🛍️ Modern shopping centers are well integrated into daily life
🌳 Parks are abundant and accessible

And yes — Wuhan is a foodie paradise.

But be careful. Wuhan cuisine can be very spicy.
