7pm: Ferry
The ferry is a popular transport. Shuttling between Zhonghua Road Dock in Wuchang District and Hanjiang Road in Hankou District, it runs every 20 minutes and costs 1.50 yuan (20 US cents) per person. It connects the two most popular sightseeing, shopping and dining areas in two districts. There are many ferry lines.
Taking the ferry is the best way to enjoy the night view of Wuhan. The colorful light show of Tortoise Mountain TV Tower in Hanyang District adds a romantic feeling. The Qingchuan Bridge on Hanjiang River is like a red ribbon connects Hankou and Hanyang districts.
Disembarking in Hankou District, visitors can tour Jianghan Road Night Market filled with small booths selling snacks, clothing, accessories, pet animals, furnishings and many other items. Locals say there’s nothing you cannot find on Jianghan Road.
On Yanjiang Avenue there are many trendy cafes, bars and restaurants serving Wuhan specialties and Western cuisine. For club goers, the bars with open-air terraces are good places to chat and enjoy a splendid night view of the city.
Unwinding at quiet Hankou Bund Park is relaxing at night.
