Railway
Wuhan, as one of the four major railway hubs in China, is the at the crossway of Beijing -Guangzhou railway line, Hankou - Danjiangkou railway line and some other important railway lines. Every day trains depart from Wuhan to almost every city inside Hubei province and trains are available for getting to major cities in China, like Beijing, Shanghai, Harbin, Urumqi, Luoyang,Chongqing, Xi'an, Kunming, Chengdu, Liuzhou, Guangzhou, Nanchang and Hefei. There are over 70 trains departing from the station every day and more than 120 trains pass here.
Bullet trains are available between Wuhan and seven cities. By taking a bullet train, it only takes 4 hours to get to Guangzhou, 4 hour to Zhengzhou and 9 hours to Beijing.
There are three main railway stations in Wuhan, namely Wuhan Railway Station, Wuchang railway station and Hankou Railway Station. Wuhan Railway Station offers passenger service on the Beijing - Guangzhou Railway Line; Hankou railway station is mainly responsible for travelers on the Shanghai - Wuhan - Chengdu line and Wuchang railway station is mainly responsible for freight and general transport.
Tip: Because the three train stations are not close to each other, travelers should make sure in advance which station they should go to board the train.
Introduction of Wuhan Railway Stations
The Airport
FoodThe Chinese food in Wuhan is sort of a combination of western and coastalcuisine (like Zhejiang Cuisine). Red pepper and sharp spice is used, but not as much as in Sichuan Cuisine. Wuhan style cuisine focuses on preparation, cooking time and the appearance of the dishes. Fish and shellfish are available, but like the rest of China, most of the meat dishes are pork or chicken dishes.
Snacks such as buns, fried dumplings and omelets are also popular here. The quality of the sweet deserts is surprising. The rolls and a small semi- sweet pancake were especially good. The small pancakes are kind of like little soft cookies. This seems something unique to Wuhan, since it was unfamiliar.
Climate In Wuhan Winter
Winter begins in December and ends in February. The average temperature in Wuhan during the winter is 2 °C (35.6 °F), and sometimes it snows. We recommend that you bring a warm coat and a sweater if you travel to Wuhan during the winter.
