WeilingIndulgence: Day 6

The Start of City Tour

Good morning to all! A day of city tour visits await us. Are u READY??? We board the bus at around 830 and for today's tour, we have a tour guide and her name is Li Yu:) She is here to explain everything about Wuhan to us. I really like to thank her hard work and effort she put in as towards the end, you will also realize that. We were really rowdy and not paying attention to the interesting facts that she provide us. I can see her desperateness in wanting to get hold of our attention, but we just keep taking photographs. Sorry Li Yu. Our first stop for today is the Hubei Provincial Museum, then to Shou Yi Garden Snack Street for lunch and the last stop to Wuhan Yellow Crane Tower.

Our tour guide:)

Hubei Provincial Museum

Hubei provincial museum is located in the Wuchang District of Wuhan, Hubei Province. The museum collects, protects and exhibits the cultural relics discovered in the province. Since 1953, the museum has collected over 200000 cultural relics including pottery, porcelains, jade, bronze vessels, ancient weapons and ancient musical instruments. Most of the exhibits are on the history and cultural relics of the Chu State. The museum is very big and we managed to take a lot of photos on the exhibits however, i can't manage to upload all the photos up. China is a country that is full of interesting facts on the thousand years old of history. If you really listen to the tour guide explaining on every little details, you will really want to follow on and know more as they are really interesting. I hope that the photos that i took will give all of you a better idea of the meaningful museum.

Shou Yi Garden Snack Street

Today's lunch is a very special one compared to all other days. The tour guide bring us to a street with a whole stretch of food stalls selling different local delicacies. As they do not collect cash, we have to purchase a card to be topped up with credits. The minimum amount to be topped-up is 20 RMB. It is glad to see that a city like Wuhan is using such technology as well. They have food ranging from, dumpling, soya bean drink, soups, porridge, teppanyaki, dian xin, "Smelly Tofu" and many many more. Today is my first time smelling the horrendous smell of "Smelly Tofu". OMG the smell is unbearable. As i am very picky when it comes to food, i didn't dare to try a lot of food there. But i did not regret trying a kind of glutinous rice with prata crust and some new flavoured dumpling that cannot be found in Singapore. Also, I brought a bowl of soup that tasted so much like the soups cooked by our mother that we keep praising it. It was really that awesome.

Wuhan Yellow Crane Tower

The Wuhan Yellow Crane Tower consists of a 5-storey tower, a beautiful garden park and a street of stalls. We were brought to the tower and when we went up to the 2nd and 3rd storey, we can have the bird's eye view of Wuhan and the longest river in Asia, the Yangtze River. Along the way and in the tower, the tour gude explain to us the history of the tower and what each structure symbolises. Inside the tower, there are huge paintings, calligraphy and many other works of art. The scenery up on the tower and at any part of the park is awesome. There is also a huge gong that we can ring, but at a small price, for good luck. We took lots of photos here and i also manage to buy some souveniors for my parents, auntie and classmates.

Welcome to Yellow Crane Tower!
