Early morning on Donghu Lake is not to be missed. The mirror-like lake reflects vivid autumn colors of nearby trees.

Grand rivers, great lakes, a vibrant city, historic attractions, a food paradise — Wuhan has a lot going for it.

The capital city of Hubei province in central China is divided by the Yangtze River and Hanjiang River into three major districts. Wuchang District features historic, scenic attractions and culture; Hankou District has flourishing retail stores and high-end malls; and Hanyang District is industrial and agricultural.

The city of 10.12 million people is growing at a breakneck pace. It’s filled with construction sites and even locals are amazed.

With abundant rainfall, Wuhan has four distinctive seasons. It is sweltering in summer and is commonly known as one of the three furnaces in China, along with Nanjing and Chongqing.

The national transport hub is another sprawling Chinese urban forest of traffic, noise, high-rises and neon lights. The magnificent Yangtze River is just another river flowing through the maze. Visitors forget the river originates in the glaciers on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in Qinghai.

Fortunately, there’s another side, many other sides, to Wuhan.

There’s a lot to explore. Let’s start our tailor-made trip of history, culture, scenery and cuisine.
