FAQ
When is the best time to visit Wuhan?
March to April for WHU's cherry blossoms and October to November for crisp autumn are best. Midsummer is a "furnace" of intense heat, and winter is damp and cold—the feel is mediocre.
How to spend two to three days in Wuhan?
One day at the Yellow Crane Tower and Yangtze River Bridge, half a day at WHU and East Lake, half a day at the Provincial Museum, and the rest at Hubu Lane and Jianghan Road. The metro crosses the river conveniently.
