At first glance, it’s hard to comprehend that Wuhan has a history that spans over 3,500 years. Its jungle of modern roads and skyscrapers testify to the city’s current role as a major economic, financial and industrial centre of central China. However, look hard enough and you’ll find that its old culture still thrives, cheek by jowl with the brash present: charming landscapes, historic museums and a friendly people proud of their city’s heritage.
