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." Walk about 10 minutes to reach the Wuchang Bridgehead. 🌇 5:30–6:30 PM|Ascend the bridge, chase the sunset, and feel the weight of history We'll ascend from the Wuchang Bridgehead. The setting sun paints the iron-gray bridge a golden red. The pedestrian walkway is wide, and the worker, peasant, and soldier reliefs carved on the railings exude a sense of history. Walking towards Hanyang, on the left are the red-tiled houses of Wuchang's old town and the eaves of the Yellow Crane Tower, while on the right are the glass curtain walls of Hankou's skyline—a stark contrast between old and new! Reaching the middle of the bridge, the rumble of a train passing below creates a tremor that seems to echo 65 years of history. 🌆 6:30–7:30 PM|As the lights come on, Jiangcheng transforms As dusk settles, the lights of the buildings on both banks gradually illuminate. The neon lights of Hankou's riverside park outline the "Yangtze River Light Show," while the Yellow Crane Tower glows golden in the direction of Wuchang! At this time, the bridge lights illuminate, resembling a ribbon of light suspended over the river. Looking back from the viewing platform in Turtle Hill Park at the Hanyang Bridgehead, the red arches of the bridge and the Parrot Island Bridge create a "two bridges reflecting on the river" scene. 🌃 7:30–8:30 PM|Extend your evening stroll with double romance under and on the river 🌟Slow life under the bridge: Descend the steps from the Hanyang Bridgehead to the riverside park. Order a pot of Biluochun tea at an open-air tea stall, listen to the lapping waves, and watch the cargo ships' lights twinkle like stars. 🌟Ferry night cruise: Take the Zhonghua Road–Jianghan Road ferry. Enjoy the river breeze on the deck as the panoramic view of the bridge and the lights on both banks reflect in the river. ✅Nearby attractions: 🌟Yellow Crane Tower (15-minute walk from Wuchang Bridgehead) The Yellow Crane Tower is brilliantly lit at night. Ascend the tower for a panoramic view of the Yangtze River and the bridge. Visit after 6:30 PM when the lights transform it into a celestial palace. 🌟Hubu Alley (next to Wuchang Bridgehead) Known as the "best snack alley in Hankou," it's recommended to stop by in the evening to sample three-delicacy doupi, hot dry noodles, and experience the lively atmosphere. 🌟Hankou Riverside Park (10-minute ferry ride) Take the ferry from the Wuchang Bridgehead to Hankou. The riverside park offers expansive night views, with light shows and cruise ships intermingling, perfect for capturing the "Yangtze River Light Strip." 🌟Guishan TV Tower (Hanyang Bridgehead) Ascend the tower for a 360° view of Wuhan's three towns, creating a classic "locking the Yangtze River" perspective with the Yellow Crane Tower!
