Traveling to Wuhan with my girlfriend
Traveling in Wuhan in October
Picture one: The photos taken at the Gude Temple in Wuhan are very impressive, it's a great place for check-in and photography
Picture two: At the place where we stayed, there is a crab street next to it. The crabs are very cheap, but if your home is far away, don't mail them (the postage is expensive). They can steam them on the spot and give you dipping sauce, which is really fresh.
Picture three: We went under the Wuhan Bridge, where you can take a walk, but there are really a lot of mosquitoes in October. I was bitten a lot.
Picture four: My girlfriend
Picture five: There are many commercial complexes in Wuhan and they are indeed quite large. It is recommended to check in advance which complex to go to, otherwise you will have to run around.
Picture six: I remember these two restaurants seem to be quite famous (forgot ), but maybe it's my personal reason, after eating spicy crabs, I got acute gastroenteritis (which led to a hospital visit, due to time constraints, many places didn't go to wash regret, can only go again next time), lotus root soup is still very delicious!

I went to see Buddha
The temple was founded by Longxi in the third year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the QingDynasty. The temple covers an area of nearly 30000 square meters and the construction area is nearly 8000 square meters.The temple combines the characteristics of Eurasian religious architecture and
integrates the three major Buddhist schools of Mahayana Hinayana and Tibetan Tantric. It is known as"one of the wonders of a Buddhist resort and the first wonder of a Buddhist temple in the Han Dynasty.
The architectural style of Gude Temple is pretty unique . Most tourists go there to pray and pay their respects . Experiencing the Buddhist religion as well as seeing monks go about their daily life was worth it . I got to see a different aspect of religion
No need to buy tickets to enter and you can stay about half an hour to tour around .

Definitely worth the visit. Tho the place is very crowded during the weekend, I suggest going on weekdays for a less crowd and better pictures .It's a bit far from the metro station approximately 15 minutes walk,maybe take a bus instead or a taxi. Very historic and the temple looks nice on the inside too . You can pray inside it and give your offerings.It was a nice experience.

Chinese temple with Gothic elements in Wuhan
Wuhan has a very unique temple, which you probably didn't see before. The architecture is quite special and I never seen a Chinese temple like this. Gothic style like a cathedral yet, but all the statues are Chinese Buddhist. The place is not a very touristic site, so it’s relatively quiet. 🕍🏯
Gude Temple is in Hankou and was founded in 1877, the mix of characteristics of Eurasian religious architecture with Buddhist statues ist really special and worth a trip.
🕜 Opening hours are 7am to 5pm.
🎟️ Entrance is for free!

European vibes in China
When people think of Wuhan, they think of Covid so on my trip there I wanted to see what the city really had to offer. I found Europe, so many parts with Spain or German influence around in Wuhan. I visited this temple on a whim and with standard China temple thoughts in mind.
It’s free to enter, but you must wear a mask and show a health code. At the gate you will meet some locals who look after the area, in particular the plants. You can also donate money as you first enter if you wish.
The temple area isn’t huge but it does give Cathedral vibes. You can walk around inside the 2 buildings but you’ll also find many other people there to take photos. I went in the morning and it was pretty quiet and empty.
I took a taxi from my hotel over in Jiang’an area to Gude Temple and it took roughly 10 minutes to arrive.

Wuhan Traveling Museum is very characteristic of the ancient temple
first sight of the ancient temple, I really can't believe this is a Buddhist temple, I believe this is a mosque. Later, I checked and the Ancient Temple was a fusion of Han Buddhism, Indian-Indian Buddhist Temple, Ancient Greek Temple, Gothic and Islamic architecture. Under the Western-style architectural style, Chinese-style Buddhist culture is born, and the Chinese and Western walls are combined to give a very novel visual experience.
Tickets: You need to pay incense money when you enter the door. There are 8 yuan, 15 yuan, 38 yuan incense price.
Traffic: Gude Temple is not easy to find, take bus No. 30, No. 332, No. 2, and No. 3 to Bus Station of the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers Road, and follow the mobile phone for 5 minutes.

A city with an average cost of 300 per person, Wuhan, wait for me, I will visit again
Driving 400 kilometers, three people, two days, one night, a two-day tour of Wuhan, arriving in Wuhan at around 4 pm, first go to the hotel to take care of the luggage, take the necessary items, and set off directly!
Day1⃣️
The first stop: Wuhan Guan Wharf🚢
Expense💰: About 20r for three people by taxi, 1.3r for a boat ticket.
Check the sunset time in advance, the wharf departs on the half-hour and on the hour.
Little tip: After boarding, there's no need to rush to the second floor; actually, the first floor is relatively spacious with fewer people, and watching the sunset through the windows also provides a good experience (the second floor is crowded).
The second stop: Jianghan Road Pedestrian Street
Expense💰: Dinner for three 128r, Tea Yanyuese 54r, snacks 10r, subway direct, 3r per person.
On the first day of the new year, some restaurants recommended online were not open, so we chose "Grilled Fish Home Cooking". The 128 set meal is very cost-effective, those who like grilled fish can try it, but I don't recommend the duck, it's too greasy.
Day2⃣️
The first stop: Gude Temple
Expense💰: 0🎫
Drove directly to Gude Temple at 11 am, it took about 20 minutes to queue and enter the temple. Although it's not big, the European-style architecture is also quite unique, and sincerity in prayer brings spiritual fulfillment; the crowd adds to the festive atmosphere.
The park stops admitting visitors at 4:30 pm, so plan your time accordingly.
The second stop: The popular restaurant🍴"Old Market Well Beef Offal Hotpot Specialty Store"
Expense💰: 260➕
The beef offal hotpot base is rich, and the taste is similar to the Sichuan-style spicy beef tallow hotpot base.
The overall portion is just right for three to four people, and the service in the store is also🉑️, friends who like beef offal can go straight for it!
The third stop: Li Huangpi Road➕Qingdao Road
Expense💰: 10➕
After dinner, we walked there directly, popular spots are crowded, and if you want to take the same photos as seen online, you need a bit more patience.
Took a few photos on the go and walked to Qingdao Road, the area is quite artistic, with bookstores and cafes, and it's very pleasant to spend an afternoon here under normal business hours😌
The fourth stop: Wuchang River Beach🌄
Expense💰: Parking fee 10r
Arrived here in the late afternoon and watched another beautiful sunset🌄
The weather is getting warmer and it's not cold, even just sitting by the river is very comfortable.
Plus, the afterglow by the river makes it feel like more than just a simple visit, but an appointment with the sunset.
The fifth stop: Hubu Alley➕Jianghan Road Pedestrian Street
Expense💰: 50➕
Took a taxi to Jianghan Road Pedestrian Street, and captured a photo of the Yellow Crane Tower along the way. Next, it was more eating and strolling. From Hubu Alley back to Jianghan Road Pedestrian Street, had some snacks, bought a cup of Wuhan's local "Grandpa Doesn't Make Tea".
Blindly buying the best-selling flavor was not a mistake, the pedestrian street is full of life and bustle.
Some people do not recommend Wuhan, while others strongly recommend it. For me, this trip was indeed a bit rushed, but I will definitely return next time!

LEXI MONTGOMERY
3 days and 3 nights, Wuhan is a city that you will miss after leaving
February is not the best season to visit Wuhan.
Starting from Zhejiang, as a working person, I could only make good use of the night time✈️. Compared to the 7-8 hours by high-speed train🚅 to Wuhan, taking a flight✈️ is still a better choice to save time.
Overall feeling: In Wuhan, it is still a bit exhausting to travel between different districts, and it's a pity that the short time doesn't allow for a full experience of the city. I could only choose to remember the beauty of this place within the limited time. Since I was there, I chose to visit the places I wanted to see; the food culture of a city is an important way to get to know and remember it, so it must be fully experienced.
🏠For accommodation, I chose a place near the subway station on Hanjiang Road, which was convenient for getting around.
Day1️⃣ Li Huangpi Road—Shanhaiguan Road (food)—Hankou River Beach—Gude Temple—Hanjiang Road Pedestrian Street—Xiaomin's Food Stall
A day of city walk, I had hot dry noodles in the morning, and the randomly chosen ones were still delicious! I walked around Li Huangpi Road, then went to Shanhaiguan Road nearby for lunch. The lotus root soup was super tasty, and the stir-fried shredded beans were a new experience worth trying. Soda bao, fresh fish paste soup noodles... We overate there, then went to Hankou River Beach, followed by Gude Temple, which was crowded! In the evening, I went to Hanjiang Road Pedestrian Street, didn't queue for too long, and had a drink at Cha Yan Yue Se. For dinner, I went to Xiaomin's Food Stall, where we ordered four dishes for two people and couldn't finish them all, but still wanted to order more! The chicken feet were soft and sticky, very delicious, but the dishes were quite spicy, so those with sensitive stomachs should be careful⚠️. I wanted to order crab leg noodles, but they were sold out when I got there😿. Later, I ordered a takeout from the hotel, and it was still very tasty!
Day2️⃣ Yellow Crane Tower—Dacheng Road—Hubei Provincial Museum
For breakfast, I had takeout shaomai and tofu skin, which were delicious! A must-try! After visiting the Yellow Crane Tower, I went to Dacheng Road for lunch. I had lunch at Xiaoqiu Dumplings, and there were many other food options around! After eating, I went to the Hubei Provincial Museum, which I had booked in advance, and even the performances inside required advance booking! It was amazing. In the evening, I ate at the snack street, and after returning, I also ordered crab leg noodles for takeout, which was stunning.
Day3️⃣ Casual stroll—Return trip
In the morning, I casually strolled around and ate, then bought some Lengji marinated flavors to eat on the way, highly recommended! I loved the marinated duck and sour beans!
I can't forget the unexpected walk over the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge in Wuhan, but it was still worth the visit. Other regrets will be saved for next time~

Sharing my view of the world - Gude Temple
One of the must-visit attractions in Wuhan, the Gude Temple, with its European architectural style, is very popular in Wuhan. The temple is a unique monastery that integrates Chinese Buddhism with traditional Chinese culture and the architectural styles of Ananda Temple in Myanmar, and the Panhawa in India, making it one of a kind in the world. From its appearance, it also resembles the Angkor Wat in Siem Reap, Cambodia, possessing a beauty that transcends time and space.

It's too comfortable! Wuhan people's own redwood forest, just in
This season's Wuhan is really too beautiful.
If the north is white in December
Then Wuhan's December is the touch of red left by nature in the world. Red as snow, beautiful to the extreme🩸
It shows more that Wuhan, this heroic city, has gone through countless hardships...
It is recommended that all Wuhan people go once❗️
Don't miss the nature at your doorstep‼️

📍: Liberation Park-Gude Temple-Lihuangpi Road-Jianghan Road
Don't just know about the Yellow Crane Tower, these roads I recommend are more liked by Wuhan locals, and they are in one area, along the road are plane trees and metasequoia, now is also the most beautiful season, be sure to arrive before noon, the light at this time is very charming. The main thing is that it's too photogenic...

Detailed check-in guide for Gude Temple on Lihuangpi Road, Wuhan
p1-p10
Address: Gude Temple, Wuhan (24 Gongnongbing Road, Jiang'an District)
Free admission, just scan the code on site to make a reservation
Opening hours: 8:30-16:00, no entry after 16:00
Unlike ordinary temples, Gude Temple has the characteristics of Eurasian religious architecture
If you want to enjoy the beauty alone, it is recommended to go in the morning because there are quite a lot of people in the afternoon😕 If there are few people, you can take a big picture with a casual shot
Even if there are many people, you can still take good pictures from different angles
I think the best position is p1, Yuntong Baodian (the largest temple), go to the second floor and walk to the far right, there is a window, take pictures through the window, there are few people and it feels very good
p7 is on the left side of the window, but you need to queue up. If it's your first time here or you want to leave the best photos, it's recommended to queue up because the queue time won't be long. Be bold and take pictures! Don't feel embarrassed to take pictures in front of so many people😆 After all, you have queued up, take pictures until you are satisfied
After entering the temple, p8 goes to the innermost part, which is the innermost temple
p9 is shooting from the first floor to the second floor
You can try these two places
If you find the right angle, you can take pictures of oranges🍊 and lemons🍋
Around two and a half, pigeons will be released in the square, which is really shocking!! p2 is a snapshot😋 They will stop after flying for a while
You can feed them
A bag of 🐦 food costs 3¥, a blessing band costs 10¥, thick incense costs 15¥, and thin incense costs 8¥
You can buy these as soon as you enter the temple
In short, if you want to pray for blessings or simply want to feel the combination of ancient Greek temples, Gothic, and Islamic architectural styles, it's worth a visit👍🏻
p11-p14 are on Lihuangpi Road in Jiang'an District. The nearest bus stop and subway station should be Dazhi Road, but you have to walk about ten minutes after getting off the bus
Lihuangpi Road is named after the leader of the Xinhai Revolution. The two presidents of the Republic of China, Li Yuanhong, were from Huangpi, Wuhan, known as Li Huangpi.
It used to be the Russian concession in Hankou. After it was reclaimed, 17 buildings from the concession era were still preserved🏠 So the whole block is European-style buildings
When we went there, it was raining, so we took fewer photos
If you have plenty of time and the weather is good, it is recommended to buy a cup of coffee and take pictures wherever you stop😂
p11 is at the intersection, but there are many people coming and going, and there are also many vehicles
You may have to let the vehicle pass after taking a photo
If you go to take pictures, please pay attention to safety⚠️
There are also many paid photo shoots, 10¥ per photo, you can choose by yourself😂
p12 is under the traffic light🚦 in the block
The traffic light is very low, basically you can take pictures standing underneath
There are relatively few vehicles under the traffic light
You can take a group of road photos😎 under the condition of safety and people can pass

Lesser-Known Attractions in Wuhan | This is not Europe, it's Good Temple
You must visit Wuhan for the Good Temple alone~
Of course, that's not all, there's also hot dry noodles, crayfish, the Yangtze River Bridge, Yellow Crane Tower, balabalabala~
Good Temple is a temple... that is said to be rarely visited by locals, but tourists flock to check in
Hidden in a residential area
The entrance is just a simple corrugated iron door
You can't imagine what's inside
Once inside, it's just: wow!
How to describe it?
The style is very eclectic
Architecturally, there are Angkor Wat-style buildings with rough but exquisitely carved exteriors, as well as the elegant white walls and grey tiles of Chinese architecture, and at first glance, there's even a gorgeous Four-faced Buddha in the middle??!?
What kind of eclectic style is this?
I looked it up online, and it says that this place integrates the three major Buddhist sects of Mahayana, Theravada, and Tibetan Buddhism, which is rare in Han Chinese Buddhist temples and can be regarded as 'a great wonder of Buddhist sacred places' and 'the number one spectacle of Han Chinese Buddhist temples'.
There's also a Wealth God Temple inside, and when we went in, there was a guy with an afro kowtowing, and he kept doing it until we left, with such amplitude and frequency that one can't help but exclaim: What a great cervical spine!
btw, they also sell incense ash glazed bead bracelets here
Another btw, this place is very crowded, it's recommended to arrive at 8 am
Yet another btw, it's a great spot for photos, but there are a lot of people, so you need to be creative in finding a good angle. There are many guides online, so I won't repeat them here~

With a fondness for antiquity, one cultivates one's own virtue
In China, there are two temples named Ancient Virtue Temple. The first is located in Hankou, Wuhan, at No. 74 Huanghai Road, where the Ancient Virtue Temple was established in the third year of the Guangxu reign of the Qing Dynasty (1877). Construction began in 1921. The Ancient Virtue Temple blends the architectural features of Eurasian religious buildings, integrating the three major Buddhist sects of Mahayana, Theravada, and Tibetan Buddhism, which is quite rare among Han Chinese Buddhist temples. Before the Cultural Revolution, the Ancient Virtue Temple, along with Guiyuan Temple, Baotong Temple, and Lianxi Temple, was known as one of the four great Buddhist jungles in the Wuhan area. The other Ancient Virtue Temple is located in the Tongren region of Tibet, called 'Gude Gongzho Qin Nan Jie Lin' in Tibetan, meaning 'Ancient Virtue Great Perfection Honorable Continent'. The current site is located 8 kilometers southwest of the county seat, at the foot of the western mountain in Gude Village, Qukuhu Township.

Wuhan | The Hidden Exotic Architecture in China—Guide to the Gude Temple
I've always been curious about what kind of charm makes the Gude Temple, hidden in the bustling city, a pilgrimage site for check-ins. It wasn't until I was there, surrounded by bustling tourists, that my heart was still shaken by the solemn and sacred architecture.
The Gude Temple has a history of over 100 years. It was submerged by floods during the Republic of China period and bombed by airplanes during the war. Along with Guiyuan Temple, Baotong Temple, and Lianxi Temple, it is known as one of the four major Buddhist jungles in the Wuhan area.
The Gude Temple preserves the styles of Gothic Christian churches, Roman Catholic churches, Byzantine Orthodox churches, and Islamic mosques. As a temple with distinctive features, it is vastly different from traditional temples with yellow tiles, red pillars, and flying eaves.
✅Recommended classic photo spots:
1️⃣Bench
Sit on the bench and take a photo with a newspaper or an umbrella in hand. Lower the camera angle to avoid the crowd.
2️⃣Second-floor window
Go upstairs on the left side after entering, stand by the bed and look at the architectural scenery, taking a photo of the back or side profile creates a great atmosphere.
3️⃣Central square of the main hall
The European architectural style gives the feeling of being in a foreign country.
⏰Opening hours: 8:00-16:00
🎫Admission: Free
⚠️Warm tips: Do not wear a sling top.
