3-Day Wuhan Foodie Adventure Guide

I. Transportation Guide 🚄 Arriving in Wuhan: Prioritize Wuhan Station (closest to downtown), followed by Hankou Station/Wuchang Station. 🚇 Getting Around: Metro: Search "Wuhan Metro" on Alipay for QR code access, covering all attractions (Yellow Crane Tower → Fuxing Road Station on Line 4; East Lake → Yuejiazui Station on Line 4). Ferry: ¥1.5/ride (Wuhan-Zhongshan route uses QR code by day, opt for deck seating at night), purchase tickets via "Wuhan Ferry" on Alipay. Bike-sharing: Rent at scenic spots (e.g., East Lake Greenway, River Beach), return early as evening returns get crowded. Taxis: Flag fall ¥10, avoid rush hours (7-9am & 5-7pm) due to heavy traffic.
