Day #18 Saturday

Ni Hao.

Today, we had trip to various places.
  1. Wuhan University to see Cherry Blossom aka 樱花 aka Sakura
  2. Si Men Kou 司门口 to have lunch
  3. Mo Shan 磨山 / East Lake 东湖 for sight seeing
Cherry Blossom:
You can also find this kind of flower in China, not only Japan.
As this is the CB season, we can find plenty of CB everywhere near the East Lake in Wuhan.
We went to Wuhan University so we can look around in their campus and also to visit their CB garden.

The Wuhan Cherry Blossom Festive (中国武汉樱花节) is on March 16 to April 10. Tourists/Locals are expected to join the crowd and to have a view of the flowers in Wuhan.

东湖樱花园位于磨山南麓,占地150亩,与日本弘前樱花园和美国华盛顿樱花园并称为世界三大樱花之都。由于近年来的不断培育,樱花品种达30余个,近万株棵樱花遍植园内,八重垂枝樱、关山樱、云南早樱等都是樱花中的极品。

East Lake's CB Garden is near the Mo Shan, and is known as the one of the world's 3 biggest Town of Cherry Blossom, together with the Japan's 弘前樱花园 and Washington's 美国华盛顿樱花园. The CB Garden in Wuhan has more than 30 species of CB. However, the WU we went to has about 10.

Si Men Kou 司门口 - 户部巷:
司门口是武昌解放路与民主路交叉地带的泛称。现在坐落千这个交叉点的西北侧的武昌区人民政府,在明、清两代是湖北市政使司衙门,即藩司衙门,又称藩台衙门,俗称藩署。衙门坐北朝南,大门正对长街,即今解放路。

户部巷位于武昌自由路,是一条长150米的百年老巷,其繁华的早点摊群20年经久不衰。清朝时候,这条百米小巷曾因毗邻藩台衙门而得名。




A few famous food in this street:

磨山:
磨山,是国家级重点风景名胜区东湖的重要组成部分,她三面环水,六峰逶迤,既有优美如画的自然风光、众多的奇花异卉,又有丰富的楚文化人文景观,每年接待中外游客100多万人次。是武汉市最靓丽的旅游休闲胜地。

秀丽的山水,丰富的植物,别致的园中园和浓郁的楚风情是磨山景区的四大特点。
As me and a few people are lazy to walk around the whole place and the time is somehow short, we just sat down and chat. then, we went to try the boat thing. :)



Last but not least, we dropped off at Carrefour after the tour for dinner.
Had teppanyaki.
