From sunset glow to dazzling night views, experience the millennial pulse of Jiangcheng.

The Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge, known as the "First Bridge of the Yangtze River," spans between Snake Hill in Wuchang and Turtle Hill in Hanyang. The upper level is a two-way, four-lane highway with pedestrian walkways on both sides; the lower level is a railway, still a vital hub for the Beijing–Guangzhou Railway. Standing on the bridge, you can see the skyscrapers of Hankou to the north and the historical Wuchang to the south. Below, the Yangtze River surges, while in the distance, the modern designs of the Parrot Island Bridge and the Yangsigang Bridge echo, creating a unique scene: "One bridge observes past and present, three bridges reflect Jiangcheng!" 📍Address: Linjiang Avenue, Wuchang District, Wuhan (Wuchang Bridgehead) / Binjiang Avenue, Hanyang District, Wuhan (Hanyang Bridgehead) 🚇Transportation: Take Subway Line 4 to "Shouyilu Station" or Line 5 to "Simenkou/Yellow Crane Tower Station."
