Hankou is the commercial district of Wuhan. There is a very famous Jianghan Lu (lu = street), where there are many upscale shops most of which are western. There are also quite a few interesting markets around that are a lot more local. This part of town looks much more "Chinese" than Hanyang, the part of town where we live. We decided to visit this other side of Wuhan, and have posted some pictures of what we call "real" China.
We took this picture just before these (illegal?) vendors were literally chased off by police.
This is what is called the "Hankou Beach", but we are skeptical. However, there is a very nice walking and bike path along the Yangtze River.
Construction seems to be happening in every part of Wuhan. Here's a picture of some of the old with the new.
