My personal experience of a special forces-style day trip in Wuhan

Due to circumstances, I went to Wuhan for a special forces-style day trip. Although it's not my first time in Wuhan, there are many places I haven't been to, such as the old streets of Hankou, Hankou River Beach, and Qingchuan Pavilion. Early in the morning at 6 o'clock, I rode a shared bicycle to the pedestrian street of Lihuangpi Road. There were few people at this time in the usually crowded Bagong House, Orthodox Church, and the former site of the '87 Conference (Figures 1-4), which was particularly suitable for taking pictures. Then I came to Yanjiang Avenue, which was also very quiet with few pedestrians. I checked in at Jianghaiguan, Soong Ching Ling's former residence, and the former site of HSBC Bank (Figures 5-7). At more than 9 o'clock, I took the subway line 2 to line 5 to the Yellow Crane Tower scenic area (Figures 8-10). Since it was my second visit, and the main building was backlit, I just revisited the old place and took a few random shots. In the afternoon, I came to Qingchuan Pavilion, one of the three famous attractions in Wuhan (Yellow Crane Tower, Qingchuan Pavilion, and Guqin Platform). As it was my first visit, I naturally had to take a good look around. From the second floor, I could see the beautiful scenery around, with the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge and the Yellow Crane Tower on the opposite bank clearly visible (Figures 11-15). Then I hurriedly went to another famous attraction, Guqin Platform. Unfortunately, it was under renovation and temporarily closed, so I could only take a leisurely walk around Yue Lake. The newly built theater, concert hall, and art museum along the way, each with a different style, also had good viewing value (Figures 16-17). After dark, I came to Hankou River Beach and enjoyed the beautiful night view of both banks of the Yangtze River (Figures 18-20). After a busy day of sightseeing, I generally felt that Wuhan's public transportation is very developed. There are not many people on the subway or bus on weekdays, and with shared bicycles, it is very convenient to go to various attractions, which is more suitable for independent travel. In addition, except for the Yellow Crane Tower, these attractions are all free.
