Wuhan is the capital of Hubei province, China and a major port on the Yangtse River.
The single largest tourist attraction in Wuhan is Yellow Crane Tower, a modern construction built on the site of five previous incarnations. It is considered one of the four great towers in China.
A view of Snake Hill Park from about the fourth floor of Yellow Crane Tower.
The tower sits atop Snake Hill near the Number One Chang (Yangtze) River Bridge and affords a commanding view of the Chang River as well as the mouth of the Han River where it connects. The view can be very impressive depending on local smog conditions. On the few clear days one can see practically the entire city of Wuhan as well as up and down the Chang River.
The park as a whole is nicely landscaped with many charming buildings. Of particular interest is the enormous bronze bell located behind Yellow Crane Tower itself as well as a teahouse on the premises which features regular performances of traditional Chu-era music. The performance itself is free, but it is expected that patrons enjoying it order at least a beverage or a small snack.
